Yes we all know that and thank for bringing that to my attention in a timely fashion! I was just trying to make a point that there were a lot of people behind the scenes back then who helped with this endeavor. Be it small or large they still did contribute.
I have a manual at home but it didnât have the content of the Rhea one. Will report later.

URL please? Not finding them in google.

By the way, I donât understand why MC could not find them, since I simply typed âmicromoog user manualâ in Google and the first result I got was the pdf file from Fantasyjackpalance⌠>
Thatâs because I am not as clever as you, my search terms were too specific.
Yesterday I played the minimoog at the gc in Chicago. Firstly they had the audio running through a small $400 Roland amp. They also didnât have the output to input connection going either. I listened to it over the amp and their âbestâ headphones.
In my opinion, I think that IF there are audibly significant differences between a voyager and model d, I could not perceive them. My request to connect the d to their best demo near fields went ignored though, so the roland amp may have colored the signal. The major difference to me between both are the switched waveforms on the d versus the continuously variable waves of the voyager. This can be significant when looking for the near perfect saw, square, etc. Besides that, I just donât see enough benefits of buying an old model d over a new voyager.
This particular unit had some oscillator instability (eh, gives it character I suppose) and looked good for its age (like raquel welch as she got on in years, lol). It was cool to connect with such a historically significant instrument as well - this is what so many other synths were based on. The filter oscillation sounded great too.
But does the voyager have anything to envy? In my humble opinion, I would say no. I went in with an open mind: âif this is different enough from my voyager, I will buy it.â In the end, I was thrilled to play it, but I didnât need it.
Colorform and others, what other impressions do you get?
Please, not another thread becoming a Minimoog VS Voyager one again ?
This has been covered ad nauseam on this forum before⌠Just do a little âminimoog vs voyagerâ research on here, Iâm sure youâll find tons of answers to your questionsâŚ
At ease alien, iI was only prompting colorform and others for their impressions of the model d based on experience with it. Iâm sure thereâs nothing wrong with that.
Yeah the roland keyboard amp wasnt the greatest but its on par with what I have at home so / but they had to cables going from the hi and lo outs to roland amp so I just took one cable out and plugged it into the headphone out and then to audio input that was loud but very musical. It was also very easy to dial in classic sounds so the lack of memory is definitely not an issue for me.
I have not had the opprotunity to play voyager and mini side by side, but I have heard a lot of people say the voyager CAN sound like a mini. Honestly, If I was able to afford either I would probably go with a voyager just for the fact it is more versatile, wonât need any repairs (hopefully) and can be expanded easily with moogerfoogers and other modular stuff. But would be extremely happy to have either (or both)
