Ah well, wonder if it’s easy to install by own’s ownself…

Granted, it’s too bad the after pressure wasn’t better to begin with, but here is where Moog stands above most other synth manufacturers; they came up with an affordable upgrade. Most other companies would have done nothing or come up with separate “b” model of the synth. Moog listens to their users and responds.
I still find it difficult to believe that Moog Music allowed the Voyager to be produced with what was basically a completely flawed and useless aftertouch mechanism- really, they never should have let it out of the factory that way. At the very least I hope that the fix is priced so that they are breaking even on it, because I would be somewhat disappointed if they were making money on this. If they were a larger company with deeper pockets, I would have expected them to issue a recall and fix it for free…at least they are offering a deal on the fix with the 3.0 hardware upgrade.
It would be nice if Moog also anounced a filter glide fix so owners could send in their synths once and get both fixes done.
BTW, did you notice in the aftertouch demo videos the rack of Moogerfoogers behind the Voyager? It looked like a nice custom stand for the Voyager and MFs. Moog should start selling something along those lines ![]()
So it will probably run a little over $200 by the time I pay for the shipping to/from ![]()
The after touch was useless from the beginning on. Now we have to pay for fixing this design error? The Fatar keyboard action used here (as used in many other well known synths) is not the problem.
And we have to ship (and we have to pay to ways and get through the customs) our Voyagers from Europe to America to get it fixed? There should be some European distributers allowed to do the fix.
Please !
Yeah, but the fix sounds GOOD. If they deal w/ the other couple issues I may buy one.
yeah it really is time for moog to sort out a decent british distributor. the hands off approach over here in the uk is harsh.
Lucky for me, my sister lives in Ashville and i’m moving back to NC soon, so i’ll go visit her and take a trip over to Moog… get a tuneup, 3.0 upgrade, a few questions answered, have it looked at for the known pitchbend problems on the Signatures, and get this one. All in one nice trip.
It sucks having to pay for shipping both ways PLUS labor for the installation. I been lovin Moogmusic, but this kinda blows. I live in Hawaii & it aint cheap to ship this puppy out to Ashville, NC. They should at least do the mod for free or real extra cheap…We’re talkin a $400 bill here w/shipping!!! Nuts! The mod sounds fantastic & I want it in my Voyager, just wish I could do it mySelf, I am well outside of warranty coverage anyway…MOOGMUSIC!!! HOPE YOU’RE LISTENING!!! HELP ME INSTALL IT MYSELF!!!
AHHHH!!!
peace

The pages says: After-pressure Field Upgrade (Upgrade to Blue Wheels). Shurely some mistake. Also it’s $50 more than the factory install. I guess a hearty wtf would not be uncalled for here.
hehe - if you go to the main afterpressure control page, the upgrade is now on special: $0.00. Now that’s more like it:
Now that there is a field upgrade, it looks way better to me.
THANKS Moog Music for listening !!!
check it again. there’s no “add to cart” button on the $0.00 page. looks like it’s $185 for those of us with v3 os.
Just got the new Moog aftertouch field upgrade newsletter and it says at the bottom that it’s a limited time offer. AAAARRRGGGGHHH!!! ![]()
I just got a CP-251, 101, and 102 from Ebay and I won’t have the funds for the field upgrade for awhile. Hopefully Moog will reconsider making it available for a longer time.
Also, if Moog knows how to fix the filter glide issue, why not let us know for sure that we can get it done if we send it in. I remember someone here posting that Moog will fix the filter glide if you send it in.
I tried to order the field upgrade from Canada but it wouldn’t let me - also why do we have to buy the wheels (maybe I’m just tired and didn’t read the whole msg. thoroughly)
Yes Moog will do the filterglide mod if you send them your voyager..
I don’t understand the whole grey wheels or blue wheels option with the aftertouch fix. Does the aftertouch circuity reside on the same board as that the wheels are mounted on? If you already have blue wheels, do you need to pay the extra money for the blue wheel kit? I think Moog needs to clarify this so people know what to order.
Thanks.

The aftertouch mechanism is involved with the left-hand controllers, so there is an opportunity to change out the wheels while they are fixing it. Also, I have learned (and now the website states) that the reason the field upgrade is more expensive than the factory upgrade is that to make the field upgrade feasable, the entire LH controller has to be replaced. For the factory fix, all they are changing is one board, but this appears to be a more complex procedure that doesn’t lend itself to a field fix.
