Voyager Performer Edition

Post by converted1 » Sun Apr 04, 2010 5:28 pm

Hello you clever people, I am new to this site and have joined as I am about to buy my first Moog. I live in the UK and although the money may not mean anything to you USA guys `n girls my question is a simple one to which I can find no answer.
What is the difference between a Voyager Performer edition compared to Electric Blue and Select Series edition?
I know the Electric blue comes with a black finish and blue backlighting....
Select Series comes in a choice of finishes and different backlighting....
However the Voyager Performer edition just comes as it is but (in the uk at least) is not the cheapest!!!
When I`ve looked through the spec.....technically it`s identical to the others...
So can anybody explain if there are ANY differences to other Voyager models?
E.G on prices in pounds sterling
Voyager:
Whitewash 2,420.84
Electric Blue 2,343.34
Select Series 2,371.43
Performer 2,361.78
I hope someone can help so I don`t buy a Performer edition and waste money for nothing extra compared to an Electric Blue edition...but personaly I dont like the black finish.
Thanks for your help in advance 8)

There is no functional difference between them. The Performer, Electric Blue, and Select Series are all the same synth inside.

Hiya, I'm in the UK too.
I bought my performer through Red Dog music and got a good price. I notice that Thomman are offering them for £2,293. I've used them several times and orders arrive really quickly despite them being in Germany.
Good luck

Hi, mate; I'm also from UK. Money certainly means something to me...but all it ever actually says to me is "goodbye".. My prices are from last year & so may not be accurate, but I got a good deal from Digital Village for my Performer, so give them a try if you haven't already. They have several branches (mine is Southampton) as well as a web-site; sometimes going into a shop and sweet-talking someone can help...a bit! I found prices varied enormously with different firms. The money you save on the pretty lights and different finishes could go towards more gear...just a thought. I think the Performer looks gorgeous just as it is....and a Moogerfooger or two will sound better than a coloured light :wink: Anyway, good luck. You will find this a very helpful & friendly forum, so stick with it & ask again if you get stuck with something. Cheers, Nick.

Nick, I agree with your comments about saving on bells and whistles and investing in moogerfoogers instead.
I love the look of my Performer too particularly with its gooseneck lamp.
