Voyager Oscillator issue

Post by PulsePsycle » Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:53 pm

I suddenly have an issue with oscillator 3 of my Voyager. Its pitch is way to low and it sound warbling or so. I have uploaded tree file to my SoundCloud account. If anyone would listen to them it's appreciated much.
Any help or tips are welcome.

The patch used is a Default Prog.
Osc 1 = 8'
Osc 2 = 8' , Freq = 0
Osc 3 = 8' , Freq = 0

Mod wheel Amount = 0
Pedal/On Amount = 0

Not played = C4

Here you hear Osc1 - 2 - 3 in sequence at 8'

Here you hear Osc1 mixed in with Osc2 and finally Osc3

At last Osc3 at 1'

Best regards
Karel.

I’m not an expert but it sounds to me like a voltage issue with osc 3. But who knows, it might help to reinstall (or upgrade if applicable) the firmware - that’s what I would try first.

I manage to do a reinstall of the Firmware (3.5). So far it seems the problem is solved. Thank you so much Analog Prophet!
The only thing that worries me is what could have caused this?

Just after posting last reply I went back to my Voyager. The problem is back! :( :( Best thing to do now is contacting Moog Support I guess.

Do you know by any change the average response time from Moog Support? I've send a message a week ago but no response yet except for an request conformation. :(

You might need to remind them / send a new email. It happened me once I had no answer for a long time and sent a new email. Don’t remember the reply time but it might have been some days.
