Can anyone open the back panel of the OS and take a picture of the board? Im curious to see how different it looks from the digitized brain of the Performer series.
It sure looks empty, eh? Looks like you got boards
in back of the front panel to distribute control signals
from the knobs, and the CVs coming into the back
of the synth, to what I believe is the analog board
on the bottom right. And over to the bottom left,
it looks like you have the power supply.
That’s pretty much it.
I also noticed that there are keyboard gate and CV
outputs available. That might’ve been a nice addition
the Voyager as well, in case you didn’t have the breakout
box. I’m also kind of surprised to see that the 12v
BNC connector is missing for the gooseneck lamp!
Oh well, at least they look like they’re built to last!
I don’t know, I think the touchsurface is digital too.
If you have a ribbon controller and you run your finger across, you get a smoothe glide in the oscillator, much like a fretless bass.
With the touchpad CV out to the Freqbox Freq in, you get a zippering effect. SOmetimes you can hear this on the filter cutoff on some patches.
And sometimes I can hear this on the mod wheel, if it is controlling pitch.
Man you could totally Mod the crap out of that OS. You coudl probably install a sequencer board in there, with a breakout box…something not too spacious. Wouldn’t that be the bees ankles?
It depends on how much the power supply can handle as to how many mods you could put in. If it’s the same power supply as the Voyager Performer, then you have lots of current draw to play with!
Normally it is good behaviour to let people know where you got a picture from, if it isn’t your own one. And in this case it is my picture of my Voyager in my flat. http://till-kopper.de/voyager.html
Isn’t it great … we can talk together or see photos even when we’re living in complete different areas like Netherland, New Zealand, USA or Germany?
I like it
I like those jack leads, nice and low profile, look like they’d put less stress on the sockets. Where’d you get ones like that? They’d make me less worried about the cheapo jacks in the Virus…
Hi Richard,
these leads are made by myself and the phone plugs are the cheapest stuff which you can get to be sure that the Voyager even works with those
The yellow maggot-shaped things look to be resistor banks. Why, I dunno, as there seem to be plenty of resistors already. The IC’s are various things, like op-amps and the like. THERE ARE NO CURTIS CHIPS IN A MOOG! How DARE you spew such filth on these forums! These circuits which you see are not discrete transistor, otherwise there would be no IC’s. None of the capacitors are bent over, so I dunno what you mean, though a couple are leaning due to the crowding of components. The black D-shaped dots are transistors. Hope this clears things up a bit.
