Okay I got home this evening and while my wife checked her email I turned the Voyager on.
When powering up, it does make the wierd sounds through the headphones.
But after that, nothing.
Basically from what Im gathering, the keyboard isn’t sending any voltages anywhere, but the afterpressure works.
If I turn the envelopes to external, I can SOMETIMES hear the preset. The controls work normally, but the keyboard just suddenly stopped sending a voltage. If I turn the switch back to keyboard, and then back to external there will be nothing. Ill have to switch presets and then turn it to external to get it to make a sound again.
Im gathering that its the keyboard because it will send a sound through on external mode but the keys do nothing. WHen I use the Oscs to control eachother, THe afterpressure worked but even with the VCA wide open the velocity and the keyboard pitch gate was absent.
I haven’t hooked it up to the Vx351 to see if there was a voltage there or not.
Basically Im in a panic here!
Edit:
Okay, I hooked the vx351 up to the Freq and There was no change in the Osc Freq from the Pitch or velocity or gate outputs. THe Pressure sucessfully swept through the entire frequency of the 107. So basically my keyboard isn’t sending a voltage to the Synth.
I don’t want to do a factory reset because I have like 60 original presets but I will if I have to, but I don’t think that will do it.
Is there something in the software that will turn the keyboard voltage off but still not affect the afterpressure?
Hi Eric,
if your Voyager works with MIDI in notes the keyboard is broken.
I hope the local control for keyboard is on…
There’s no need for a reset.

What kind of action on someones part woudl it take for this to happen? LIke if someone was pissed and came in and tried to ruin the Voyager…could this be something that someone could do?
OK, if there’s version 3.4 on your Voyager you got individual settings for the controls. If there’s no local control message after power then all controls are switched on.
Maybe the 5 pol connector of the keyboard is not correct on the plug.
To check that you have to open the wheel box.
Have fun,
Rudi
my voyager old school did this 3 weeks after i got it. the keyscan board went bad (the only digital circuitry in the synth). moog sent me a replacement which i was able to swap for the bad one in 15 minutes.
The same thing happened to my Performer within a few days after I received it. It was the keyboard scanner. I had to send it back, and they turned it around in a week! It kind of sucked having to send it back, however it was under warranty, the fix was simple, it got done quickly, and it didn’t cost me anything, so I guess it could’ve been worse. Sorry you have to go through it, but if you’re still under warranty, it shouldn’t be too bad.
