I don’t have a voyager that’s a select. I have a white lunar impact performer edition . It looks like yours has the Bob Moog Signature although I’m not sure what it’s supposed to look like. There were less voyager selects that were made . Moog discontinued the voyager in 2015. I think if you goggle voyager select it will give you information . My pitch and mod wheels light up and flash are not like yours being just white. I would think the white pitch and mod wheels might tell you what year it might be. I would think there would have been a limited run on the voyager select. I think it originally came with two free tunings from the factory if I remember correctly. I just can’t remember all the information I remember reading about them I’m not exactly sure of the price although I think they were priced higher if I remember correctly.
Voyager XLs and selects were smaller production runs than regular voyager performers . There were a few different variations with different options in regards to the wood type and color. I also remember the Electric Blue. Certain years they stopped making certain voyagers and some of the pricing changed and was lowered I think I read some information on vintage synth explorer or wilkapedia in regards to voyager select.
My voyager has 896 presets. Look and see how many presets yours has, my operating system is 3.5 . Look and see what version your voyager might have This might help you determine the year . Also aftertouch wasn’t available on some of the earlier voyagers. I think the early voyagers had 128 presets not sure but they definitely didn’t have 896. Also the touch screen if I remember right wasnt on the early ones. Certain features were added later.
My voyager also has the ability to scroll thru 100s of presets at a time via the knob that shares the external input . I don’t think that earlier voyagers had that capability. There were upgrades offered. I would think Moog could explain all the differences. Certain operating systems gave different features.
The badge looks exactly like the one I had received back in 2003. Purchased in late 2002 in the UK. It was a Performer Edition and came with precisely this badge. I don’t remember the exact details why the name was different, may have been something to do with the “Welsh Minimoog” name? Some copyright issue possibly,
The version of the digital board with more than 128 memory slots was introduced after a few years. Moog sold these boards for “in the fields” upgrades by users. I installed this to my 2002/early 2003 Voyager.
The firmware versions released after the first multi bank Voyagers were released are all working on the older 128 and the newer 896 patch memory versions.
There was an issue with the Moog brand not to be used in the UK. So the early Voyagers sold there had no Moog brand on the front and back. But maybe this “by Bob Moog” was a legal work around this problem in the UK. Lter Moog got the name registered for the UK as well.
I think I remember reading that about that in regards to the voyager having to say by Bob Moog in the UK. I don’t think he had his trademark back yet and to avoid getting into trouble with the welsh Minimoog that was a condition . My voyager is probably from 2015 and it just says Minimoog voyager . Not sure about all the history with the welsh Minimoog.
I think I read about all that in a SOS article
Till knows a lot about the Minimoog voyager and the Minimoog . Sorry didn’t mean to sound redundant I just realized the links . At least my memory was correct where I read the information.
If you do decide to sell your voyager I would still contact Moog and give them the serial number so you can find out exactly what year your voyager was made. From reading the reply’s it seems like it’s a performer edition.
