Posted this thread in more general discussion but might be better here in Voyager chat.
I have had a Electric Blue Voyager keyboard for a number of years. It looks good and sounds great. However now (after only 40 years of wanting one) I have purchased a late (serial no in 12,000s) Mini Moog Model D. It is in great physical condition and tunes as well as my voyager.
I would appreciate some advice please about equivalent filter settings as the measurements are not the same. The voyager filter cut off goes from 20 to 12K whilst the model D is -5 to +5. How would I achieve a like for like comparison? Is there a specific range on the Voyager equivalent to the Model? I know about the dual filter arrangement on the voyager and can set it to dual low pass 4 pole is similar to model D.
I know Voyager resonance and Model D emphasis are one and the same but what about Model D contour? I voyager KB cont amount the same?
The voyager has release on the EG but model D does not. ( I understand the release switch on model D above pitch wheel may perform this function. Any suggestions?
I have to say that the Voyager performs well alongside the Model D. I have learned more about the Voyager and its capabilities in the last 2 weeks than over the last 5 years!

Hi minimax,
A number of years ago, forum member BrianG and myself conducted a comparison test of the MiniMoog Model D, a Voyager, and a Creamware MiniMax VA synth to see how each would fair compared to the others. We did an extensive write-up of our results with accompanying sound examples. On the last page of the write-up, I added a list of guidelines to follow if you are trying to recreate a Mini-Moog patch on a modern-day Voyager. A screen shot of that page is attached:
The complete "Vintage, Voyager or Virtual – A Comparison Test" document and accompanying sound example files are on the KnobTweak website. Find it here:

Hope this helps you in your quest!

Greg,
Thanks for this. I am well familiar with Creamware ASBs having had 3 minimaxs over the years!
Will look at your helpful chart.
