So the Voyager can only play one note at a time ....
.... but are there any tricks to make it sound like it's doing more than that, like tuning different oscillators to different pitches and such?
I really wanted a voyager but ended up buying the sub37 just because it had the two note thing going. I still want a voyager. More key and more knobs = better.

Inspiration seems to always come at the start of a session, so always have that tape recorder going!

Send the MIDI note out to an external arpeggiator then run it back in. This will make it sound sorta like you're playing chords.

Other than that, it reacts exactly the same as your beloved Sub37 when not in duo mode.

Hummm, or just buy more voyagers, use the "midi key order" setting to have all of them play as a single polyphonic in$$$trument!
Anyone tried that?

Re: So the Voyager can only play one note at a time ....
Actually this is something I just thought of that might work. I've used my dot com modular oscillators with a midi/cv module to make a two voice Voyager.

But you can probably use that same concept within the voyager it self.
Oscillator one controlled by the voyager. With low note priority. Then turn off keyboard control for oscillator three. Then use the the midi/cv module with high or last note priority with midi out from the Voyager going to the module.send the cv out to mod 2 input. Use the pedal buss, select mod 2 as the source, oscillator three as the destination, shaping on, and I assume amount to full. This should in theory allow you to play oscillator one as the bass note and oscillator three as the high note...Actually I have a spare minute I'm going to try this

Nope, didn't work...not well anyway. If you use some sort of quantizer it might. But I don't have one. Oh well, worth a shot

Color,
See, this is where modular spoiled you, because now you want independent Osc control haha. That one guy who made that eurorack Voyager had the right idea!

Arpeggiations (via external hardware or played manually) into a well-timed delay and then some reverb can create all the chords you need. If you have access to a reel-to-reel recorder, use a mixer to feed the playback head's left channel back into the right record input and the playback head's right channel back into the left record input. It's quite inspirational.

Yeah it really has...I want independent control over everything! I want to be able to route what ever voltage to what ever input and then back around againEricK wrote:Color,

The Voyager may only play one note at a time, but it's a FAT note!

By the way, monosynths can play only one note at a time just as other monophonic instruments, think violin, woods etc.
It may be interesting to search what tricks intrumentists use to make those instruments sounds like they play chords.

It usually involves playing with ensembles, quartets, symphonies, orchestras things like thatstiiiiiiive wrote:By the way, monosynths can play only one note at a time just as other monophonic instruments, think violin, woods etc.

It's cool to see some ways to soup this thing up. I'll probably end up buying one and having some fun with it ....
