Mixer out with effects pedals
Mixer out with effects pedals
I have a brand new voyager xl. I am trying to hook it up to several effects pedals including a moogerfooger 104m-sd. I am going from mixer out to pedal in and from pedal out to my amplifier. With all pedals I am getting a constant noise as if a key was depressed. What am i doing wrong? And how else can I patch this to make unique sounds? Pedals do work when I go from audio out but not from mixer out.
Re: Mixer out with effects pedals
You just use the Mix out/Filter in jack on the back panel, but you must use a "Y" adapter for this. The signal goes out and back in to this jack. I wouldnt link this jack to the pedal jack if I were you because you are sending the signal to an output as far as I can see. I may be incorrect as I dont have the XL, and I hope I have answered your question accurately. Page 17 in the manual explains this really well.

Re: Mixer out with effects pedals
The jack you are using is an insert jack. You need an insert cable. This will run all of the pedals in your chain back through the XL's filter, then routed through to the output. Then to your amp.

IIRC, the 104 through the mixer I/O doesn't give a very good result. Use the audio output for the 104.

Re: Mixer out with effects pedals
I have a diffrent problem with the mixer out/filter in jack; I'm confident that I have it connected correctly with tip as send and ring as return but there's no sound at all when i engage pedals; I've tried several, and several cables too. I think it's broken but I just want to check that there's no internal setting that I may have changed that will affect it (I think not). THanks!

Re: Mixer out with effects pedals
To answer the OP question. The reason you are getting that result is this: The Mixer out/Filter in Jack comes right after the mixer, but before the filter and VCA in the signal chain, so you are getting the oscillators, noise, and external input, or whatever you have turned up in the mixer section, and the oscillators and noise are constantly on. When you "press a key" it is triggers the envelope generators which usually control the filter and VCA. It is the VCA, which comes after the filter that opens and closes to shut off or let out the sound. It's like a noise gate.Trumpet37 wrote:I have a brand new voyager xl.

So, you either need to route your effects back into the voyager with the return line of the mixer out/filter in insert jack, or you need an external VCA which would be triggered by either the envelope on the Voyager, or an external envelope generator. Hope this helps.
