Voyager RME With VX-351 - The Definitive Answer

polyslax · Post by **polyslax** » Fri Mar 05, 2010 2:58 pm

Hi there!

Glad to be aboard the Moog train since about a week now*, and it's been a pleasure learning as much as I can from the excellent posts around here.

There's one question that still boggles my mind though, and from my searches I haven't been able to find the answer.

When you plug a VX-351 into an RME I'm assuming you don't get the cv that comes out of all the physical controls on the keyboard Voyager, correct? Doesn't this limit the usefulness of the 351 for an RME owner?

Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me!

*Guess I should let you know what I'm running. I've got the RME, CP-251 and VX-352 which I've racked together, and the MF-102 and MF-104Z.

the vx-351 gives you access to some of the CVs produced by the voyager...LFOs, pitch and mod wheels, S/H, filter and volume envelopes, keyboard pitch/ velocity/pressure/gate. plus you gat a couple of mults and attenuators

Thanks for the response!

So, using it with the RME though, I'm assuming I don't get cv out for the wheels, keyboard and touch screen. Would that be correct?

touch screen, no.

someone with an RME will have to confirm that a midi keyboard controller w/pitch and mod wheels generates CV at the VX-351 for keyboard pitch, gate, pitch bend and mod wheels...

Yeah, touch screen I could live without, but the wheels and keyboard part is really the question I haven't been able to find an answer to.

This will work. Sometimes I use my RME as a sort of very expensive MIDI to CV converter to control my small Doepfer modular.

Thanks for that francesco!

ally think that Moog shoud make a touchscreen Moogerfooger for the RME and OS owners.

t really is very very nice. Being able to controlthe delay time or feedback with the touchpad, triggering events like envelope generators, sequences is all a very nice capabillity in mid performance that is soooooo choise!

polyslax-
you think you'd rather have a voyager keyboard now?

Hey shark, no, definitely not. I have one keyboard synth, a Virus TI, and that's fine for me. Working with limited space, and I want my one keyboard to be 5 octaves. As long as you have a decent keyboard to run the Moog I'd recommend the RME. No touch screen, of course. On the other hand I never have to worry about the touch screen breaking.

Hi EricK,

The Korg nanoPAD would at least give you the X and Y control missing from the RME.
The pads would add yet another layer of control possibilities.
