I read somebody here saying - think it was Sir Dss - that once they had the VX, they started using the voyager to control a modular setup.
I don’t know much about this - was under the impression i need a whole modular setup, oscs, vca, vcf, etc, but it possible to cherry pick cool modules and use them as effects processors once you have the VX?
Also - i know this has been addressed here - but if anyone has anything further on the merits of the VX 351 and CP 251 together with the voyager, let me know!!!
If you have a Voyager and the CV output option, then for additional modulars all you need is, well, modules (and their respective racks and power supplies).
Traditionally for a modular, yes, you would have to get oscilators, filters, etc… however you already have all that on your Voyager! Pretty neat eh? You can either start adding additional oscilators, different filters, noise generators, samplers, etc (basically other SOUND modification), OR (this is the fun part) you can start adding additional CV modficiation stuff, like more ADSRs, lag generators, etc…
You don’t need to buy a lot more to get some really cool stuff. I’d say get it one step at a time and learn how to best use it.
Only additional thought, is that not all modulars use the same CV reference for the pitch control. I think the Voyager uses something like .97V/oct, and older moogs use 1V/oct, and other manufacturers use other ones…
The voyager uses a different scale, but the vx351 corrects it to 1v/o. I can quickly and easily control all oscillators in my system just by connecting the vx351’s pitch out to the 1v/o in.
As far as modules go, Tibbon is quite right. You can start with the interesting modules and work your way back to the basics later (if you want to, of course). And there are some very, very interesting modules out there right now (particularly in the euro and frac rack formats).
