Hello. I have a Voyager Select built in 2008. The keyboard scanner MCU looks like it has lost its firmware. Can I obtain a binary to reprogram it, or get a fresh PCBA?
Code is BRD-10-011-410 E 0814 0118 V24.
Thank you!
Have you tried contacting Moog Support? You could register your Voyager on the inMusic website and submit a request.
Yes, I have thought of that, and I will. I’m just hedging my bets against the 95% chance they tell me tough luck. I really do hope they consider seeing Moog as a company that has a legacy of supporting such iconic products into their long age.
I also had a thought that being a low volume manufacturer, then system design is quite modular. Perhaps the keyboard scanner is just a midi output device? It is a serial output.
If I don’t have any success with Moog, and I cannot get a replacement board, I will consider reverse engineering.
Maybe Moog have an appetite for opening up more of the design info?
I have investigated further. This uses a C8051F315 MCU. On startup the voltages look ok, a good reset signal is sent, and the main synth CPU sends a few bytes of serial data to the keyboard scanner at ~62500 baud. But the MCU does not toggle any of the keyboard matrix pins - they all just sit at 3.3V.
Does anyone know anything about this common failure mode? Is it justa a flash retention problem as I suspect?
Thanks.
Hi,
if you need a HEX file for it send me a PM
