Back with a Voyager - this time a PE, nothing as exciting as my old Select, but I love it.
I've been replacing all the things I had - so just got a VX-351 and rack kit in anticipation of getting a CP. I have a silly question though - the cable being so long for the VX, and my rackmount desk being one of those little fridge-on-wheels sized ones; I anticipate a lot of wires dangling between VX/CP and Voyager.
Has anyone made a 1U rackmount panel and loom that just plugs into the CV ins back of the Voyager and brings those jacks to a more convenient place for patching? Would such a thing be of interest if I decided to assemble some, and would a light gauge of wire for the loom be acceptable to save stress and so forth? Also would there be anything clever that could be done if assembling such a thing?
Really daft CV jack question!

Re: Really daft CV jack question!
Question: why didn't you get an XL instead ? You wouldn't need all this mess of long hanging patch cables...
Other question: why do you say the your new Performer Edition isn't as "exciting" as your former Select Edition ? It's essentially the same machine, only with less useless-but-cool-looking "eye candy"...
Just saying...

Patch bay.
Search the Moogerfooger Forum. There have been a few pic examples shared.
I'm thinking a used PE is hella cheaper than an XL.

1: A Voyager XL is £3,700 or thereabouts.
2: I had a Voyager SS before and I liked it. It was my first brand-new analogue synth, it was Fire/Mahogany and looked wonderful all lit up. The PE is a 2004ish one, it doesn't like up, and I have to field upgrade it to fix the A/T and add the banks - which I will do. But it's less exciting in that it's not new, it's not a new experience. Even my SS serial number was cool - 321.
So yeah, my Voyager was about a third of the cost of the XL. I got a good deal on the VX. The CP, I've yet to get. But that probably answers that question, no?
I am thinking my old one I did use a Behringer patchbay which could do normalled, half-normalled, open and something else, which got around the issues of open CV...
