Voyager Expanders..

Post by POLYMOOG » Wed Jul 23, 2003 10:53 pm

I'd like to see a Moog 960 Sequencer Module and a rack mounted Voyager or Multimoog clone with the rear panel jack points on the front control panel similar to the rack mounted synths made by Macbeth.

I would like to see more 'expansion' type products for the Voyager, like the VX351 and CP251. Maybe an arpeggiator that reads (via MIDI) the chords played on the Voyager and sends arpeggiated pitch CV and gate back to the Voyager... I don't know if that would even be possible though...
An analog sequencer would be nice, too, but there are other companies that make products that would work.

That's why it's great they made it a MIDI and CV controlled synth! You can get ALL KINDS of extra gear for it - the sequencing options are endless with MIDI gear, and tons of modules can be bought and interfaced....

(I posted this in another topic a little earlier before realizing this "Voyager Expanders" topic existed. Anyway, here's the idea I had.)

I have to admit that I'm really new to synthesis period, so if this idea is not only stupid, but is not even feasible in the first place just blame my ignorance!

However, after receiving my VX-351 today and hooking it up to my voyager via the accessory port I began to think... (yeah, that's usually not good...)

But anyway, I'm like some others who wish for more patch storage. So, I started thinking about the possibility of maybe designing a small patch storage interface that would fit externally on the voyager via the accessory port.

The idea is that this small interface/patch storage thingy would resemble the midi interfaces which mount on PC joystick ports -- minus the cables. These midi interfaces still allow a joystick to be connected though because they normally feature another connector built into the back of the interface itself designed just for this purpose.

So, the logic goes, one could easily mount this little device on the accessory port, yet still be allowed to connect the VX-351 as well via the connector built into the patch interface. It would be a patch "cartridge" of sorts.

Who knows, just an idea...
