NEWB here. Can I run my Korg Triton through...

...the Voyager and use the Voyager like a massive pedal? If so, how? I tried plugging my Triton through the Audio Input switch but just got silence. Do I need to use the Midi inputs?

Hi there.

of course you can run any synthesizer through the Voyager's filters. My guess is that you get silence because you need to gate the Voyager as well. Either press a key on the Voyager so that the gate opens prior to feeding the signal or use MIDI to send Note On/Offs from the Triton to the same MIDI channel that the Voyager is listening to.

Here's some tips -
Connect MIDI out of the Voyager to MIDI in of the Triton - match the MIDI channels.
Audio out of the Triton to Ext. Audio in of the Voyager.
Make sure that the External Audio mixer switch is actually ON
and that the level is set above zero...(different values than what's on the panel may be stored in the ccurrent preset - parameter display can help you find the real state of those controls)
Play the triton from the Voyager - it will pass through the Voyager's mixer, filters, and VCAs - anything that can modulate the Filters or VCAs (Envelopes, signals through Mod Busses) will affect the sound of the triton.
You can also mix the Oscillators and Noise with the triton sounds...

If you just want to play the triton keyboard - Make sure the Ext. Audio switch is ON, the Ext Audio Level is up, the Volume sustain is up, and the Env. Gate switch is set to Ext./On...
You could also connect MIDI out from the triton to the Voyager MIDI in to trigger the Voyager's envelopes...

Thanks a lot guys. I'm going to go buy some midi cables and try everything out. I'm still really new at all this and I appreciate your help. I'll let you know how it goes....
