Voyager Feedback/Short?

I have a Voyager Performer Edition. I was playing it tonight on Diet of Worms (A:43). I had a note sustained and was using the touch pad with my left hand. I then touched the metal “handle” that is on the back of the unit - the little U-shaped handle used to raise the panel up and down. When I did this I got a very cool resonance ring that I could “play” by tapping different locations in and around this area and possibly the entire back (any metal portion) of the synth.

So…my first question is…does anyone else have this problem/feature and is it something I should worry about? I don’t want to get a shock and die in the middle of a solo and/or burn out the Voyager.

Thoughts?

Don’t worry, that’s how the touch surface works.
Your hand capacity changes the oscillator in the touch surface and when you touch metal things of the Voyager or other ground connected things your hand capacity will increase.
Have fun,

OK - that makes sense - but it was still scary! Thanks Rudi! :slight_smile:
