Has anyone plugged a Walking Stick into their Voyager OS?
http://members.cox.net/ribboncontrollers/
Any particular tips and tricks to report, or compatibility issues?
I have a Walking Stick connected to my Voyager Performer. The Walking Stick is a CV device. Since the OS is simply a Voyager without midi and memories, the Walking Stick should pose no compatibility issues.
As for tips and tricks? Just plug it in, and play around with it. The Walking Stick is really just another form of the EP-2 pedal. And if you have the pressure sensitive version of the Walking Stick, then you can simultaneously control two CVs with it (for instance, control the filter with one CV, and the pitch with the other…)
Since I don’t actually own an OS, perhaps someone who does might chime in.

I use a Walking Stick Ribbon Controller together with my Voyager SE…just to give you some more info here is a part of the manual explaining the use :
The objective of the Walking Stick ribbon controllers is to provide a high quality, small-footprint control voltage (CV) ribbon controller for use with analog synthesizers, signal processors, and modular systems.
The simplicity of its design helps to keep the cost low, and ensure that it will be compatible with products from many different manufacturers of analog music equipment – both new and old.
The Walking Stick ribbon controllers feature:
• A 20” ribbon surface
• Attenuator control providing fully adjustable range - from semitones to octaves
• Powered control voltage (CV) output for traditional analog synthesizers
• Passive compatibility with many modern analog synths and expression pedal inputs
• Adjustable CV range to meet the requirements of almost every synth
• Hand-made wooden enclosures with attractive satin walnut finish
• Tactile, fast, and durable ribbon surface
• Included power adapter (North American spec)
• Rubber feet on base for tabletop use
• Included adhesive-backed Velcro strips for secure mounting on equipment
