Voyager or Minimoog?

Post by MC » Mon Aug 30, 2010 1:55 am

A few weeks ago I did a reunion gig with a band I played with back in 1981 (showing my age here)

In this song (featuring a drummer with zero sense of metronome) I am sometimes playing Voyager, sometimes Minimoog. Which is which?

They are both played at once.
I've stopped talking now.

This is of course the point of the post. The Voyager and Mini are close. However, I don't believe a Voyager without any signal modification can sound that close to a Mini.

Interesting variation of guesses - EMwhite had the correct answer.

Not only would it be a win, but it would be an utter dessimation if both taurus pedals were triggered from their respective Minis. lol

Ha! And I was listening through a Dell laptop speaker; surprised I was correct.

The Mini is more aggressive sounding. After I posted, I thought, perhaps MC was trying to trick us by creating a patch on the Mini that was very smooth and on the Voyager that was more raw;

Had a question about the organ though... was that your B3 or one of those new fangled solid state models?

The Voyager simply can't do what the Mini can do...and by that I mean have that aggressive sharp edge that is unmistakably a D.

It's easy to spot the Voyager as the Voyager can do what the Model D can't do.
