This was the first preset that I ever came up with for the Voyager a few years ago.
I don’t have a librarian so I had to just type it out based on its values.
This is a very long slowly evolving resonant filter SFX.

There was a guy on the LP forum talking about wanting a really slow evolving pad for the LP. THe filter on this seems to keep slowly ascending into outer space and it takes I think 45 seconds to a minute before it stops. THen of corse turn the mod wheel up for subtle sample and hold.
HOpefully you can reproduce something similar on the LP with the filter resonance and attack decay times. If there is a knob similar to an amount to filter knob then I think that is one of the things that is key to this effect.
Cool! Of course, the LP doesn’t have an OSC 3, but I’m sure there’s a way to get a similar effect. Destination would be set to OSC 2, and OSC 3 frequency would be used with OSC 2 on the LP. Other than that, can anyone tell if I missed anything? Are there settings the LP is incapable of doing? I don’t recognize the MODE setting, but then I haven’t made any SERIOUS tweaks to patches lately.
I think the key is an amount to filter. This is a knob like an attenuator that will allow the envelope to sweep counterclockwise or clockwise while at the same time controlling the amount of voltage thats going to there.
This with the resonance, filt decay and vol sustain I think makes this a truly slow evolving sound.
The Voyager has dual, low-pass filters in series that can be switched so that one is a low-pass filter, and one is a high-pass filter without resonance, both still in series with each other, which makes the two become one band-pass filter. The mode switch is used to switch the filters between these two modes.
I tried to replicate these as best as I can on the LP.
But having nothing to compare it with on the Voyager I can’t say how much it sounds the same. It makes a really nice pad/effect sound anyway though!
Interesting. Ill have to see if I can post a demo of it.
Something about the way the filter is modulated it goes on forever.
This is one of those intricate synthesis things that probably has a specific reason why it works like that, but since I don’t know what it is I can only speculate.
The sound I got was similar! But I couldn’t quite get the sample-and-hold effect. (Maybe because I only have a square wave LFO which would create a similar effect). Bring on the CP-251! Then I’ll try again…
Don’t forget you have a Sample and Hold in the Advanced Preset Menu… Bu of course there are some fun things you can do with the with the LP’s modulation routing .
