Voyager Insert Question

Post by motion drive » Tue Apr 18, 2017 8:41 am

Hi guys

I just ordered a Minifooger Drive for my Voyager XL. Now I want to know, does it matter how loud I drive the insert on the XL? I mean...can there be any damage or can I push the volume into the voyager filter as much as I like?

Another thing...how you use the Mooger-Minifoogers in general...mostly on the insert or more after the mainout?

Thx for feedback.

I have my MF Boost hard-wired into the insert path of my XL, but my MF Drive I have routed in / out on my mixer (X-32 Rack). I figure I always use the boost to enrich the volume of the XL, but can use the Drive for other synths in my studio as needed.

Well, my question was more about the possibility, if there can brake something when using to high levels on the insert. I guess not...but wanted to be sure.
I have the Minifooger Drive now and its a great tool to add some distortion to the Voyager. How is the Boost compared to the Drive? As I have sometimes the feeling, that the Voyager is a bit low in Volume and high frequency presence, adding the Boost on the Insert might help without changing the tone too much?

A more flexible solution would probably be an equalizer. You can use an EQ as a boost, but choose how much to boost (or cut) each frequency band it has a control for.
