CV contol of the Voyager via LP

wooperman · Post by **wooperman** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 3:32 am

(Sorry if this has been asked 100 times here. CV was too broad of a search.)

Is it possible to control the CV/gate of the Voyager OS (ie. cv only) via the LP?

My immediate thought it no since there are only inputs on the LP. But one never knows what you crazy kids have explored.
I'm a little afraid to start plugging away as I'm afraid I may short something.

It would be nice to stack a super-sound using the LP's arpeggiator.
I guess I could still do it other way around, but I was hoping to cut out the midi/cv convertor.

Common Moog Inc., work with me here! You were already up in them guts soldering the ports of pleasure, you couldn't throw me an out?

Don't think so, but you can do this over MIDI.

Wooper,
Just to clarify,
Moog Music makes instruments that make sci-fi noises.
Moog Inc makes rocket ship panels and satellite parts.

2 different companies, same family.
"But they are cousins.....Identical cousins...."

Interesting?

They also look very similar.

Ok, since we are getting technical, we are both wrong.
But now, I'm right first.
Moog Music Inc. makes the synths.... not Moog Music.
But really, we both knew what you and I were talking about the whole time, dind't we.

I talked to Amos, he is a bizzy guy, but hopes to work on something similar to what I am asking for, he was already dreaming it up before I talked to him. It would likely be in the form of a breakout box, but nothing as of now.

It is possible to control the little phatty via Voyager OS (regualr Voyager users need the VX-351 i think):
1. Voyager OS cv'd to control the Little Phatty
2. then audio out of the Phatty to audio-in on the Voyager
3. then you only need to have one synth (Voyager) amplified and played, making it a synth with 5 oscillators of terror!!!!

I'm assuming that you could have 3 of the 5 detuned for some awesome monosynth chords!

Its just a matter of time for a LP breakout box. THats one of their biggest complaints is the lack of CV ins and outs.

I wish though that instead of 2 units for the Ins and outs, they just made 1 unit so it would be easier to power, though maybe more pricey.

I think it shoudl be cp251 sized too.

yo erick,
Maybe it's differnt if you have a older model, but there are inputs for cv on mine. You probably know this, but you mentioned inputs...maybe you just mean more.

Amos is always dreaming up stuff before we can request it. That's just Amos. No one DEMANDED Taurus pedals, per se, but Moog is building them as we speak. Lots of people want a Polysynth and Amos is already dreaming of ways to do that, as well. Not to mention, software upgrades. He always seems to start working on the next one after the new one before the new one even reaches us! The man's like Chuck Norris if Chuck Norris built synths!

I think Cyril Lance is probably one of the luckiest guys in the industry to have been Bob's exclusive understudy.

I think thats how that worked.

Id like to be a fly on the wall when those engineers riff off of eachother!

I think you're right, EricK. The awesomeness level of Bob and Cyril in the same room could easily equal the awesomeness of Chuck Norris and Kevin Lightner in the same room!

I would kill for a DIY mod for CV GATE out on a LP...LOL I would so hack it up and drill a couple of holes...LOLOLOL

MODS!!!! "droolz"

let alone the breakout box in amos's head!!!! WWHHUUUUuuuuuuT

I like mods. Especially factory approved mods. DIY mods are alright too, just more difficult to implement without destroying something.
