How to make parallell sounds from Voyager and Moogerfoogers

Post by MBlom » Fri Sep 06, 2013 4:35 am

I'm in between apartments at the moment and right now on 11-day trip with my students so I can't try my ideas out but really would enjoy planning and thinking about the possibilities of having the Voyager and Moogerfoogers making parallell sounds. What I mean by that, though you probably get it right away, is that I'd like to have the Voyager playing a bassline and having the foogers "slaved" to what I play on the Voyager, but soundwise not locked to the Voyagers settings.

One way to achieve this would be using CV out from the Voyager (will be getting a VX-351 soon so please use those options when suggesting patches) and use the freqbox as a single oscillator. However it might not be that interesting sonically with only a freqbox and filter. Maybe it could get a little richer if modulating the waveforms and FM amount?

Another way would be to hard sync it to the Voyagers output, though I suspect that when I tweak the Voyagers parametres the freqbox won't track that musically all the time.

And what use could I have with the CP-251? As an audio mixer, or splitting signals?

I welcome all sorts of solutions. Very much appreciated if you'd just take a minute and throw me some ideas to think about. I miss my Voyager and the foogers very much so I would love to just ponder about and imagine the possibilities I have to make sounds with them.
