I’ll be thousands of miles away from my Voyager this holiday season, and very bored. It occured to me that if I set up a remote desktop on my windows machine, that I may be able to run my Voyager via Cubase, remotely.
I should be able to send program changes via midi, as well as control most all of the pots. Otherwise, I could just leave it on manuel mode. One concern I have is leaving my synth on for almost 3 weeks. It will be in a fairly cold house.
I haven’t given this much thought yet, but does anyone see any more problems I might find (besides crackers)? Regardless, I’ll keep you updated.
Would you be able to hear the sound from your end???
I don’t think its very sensible leaving the Voyager on for 3 entire weeks, but I suppose you could leave it on, and plug it into a socket timer, so it only switches on at certain times.
Or don’t bother at all and when you get back you’ll appreciate the Voyager more!!!
Allright, I admit, I’m a complete dork for going through the trouble but I got this to work. The only remote desktop I could find that would transmit sound was windows remote desktop that comes with XP pro. I couldn’t find a variety of VNC that would bring sound to the client.
The biggest drawback is that remote desktop can’t transmit sound created by midi. So my library editor won’t immdiately return a sound when you hit a key. It does however still work with the voyager. So I have to make adjustments, then record a few seconds in Cubase, re-tweak, re-record, until I’m happy with the sound. My wife turns the Moog on and off for me. I seriously considered leaving my speakers cranked when I left, and then blasting her in the middle of the night as a joke, but I want to stay married, and I need her to turn it on again
But here I am, out in the middle of nowhere still turning knobs… This also sounds like a good way for me to get fired from work when I get home.
