Voyager RME

[Kelly]

Ok, I immediately sprung wood when I saw it. I'm curious, how many of you out there that already own a Voyager are considering adding this? I wonder... will there be a link mode of some sort so one can create patches utilising both a Voyager + one or more RMEs? 6 oscillators. . . 4 filters! GAAHHHHH

Please lord take away the desire, please please please. . . I want one.

I would love a Voyager RME to hook up to my Voyager keyboard... It will be a while but I'm sure I can make it happen eventually.
You can absolutely chain the units together to create polyphonic patches or play duophonically; I got to hear it this week and it sounds amazing! That many oscillators add up to some serious sonic weight. I have been working on some pad-like sounds already with multi-Voyagers in mind. Very exciting possibilities!

Hey,
I would like to say thanks for making something folks who work in music
stores (who sell Moogs) can afford!
I think
1 x RME
2 x cv mixers
+ the 2 in & out expanders looks like a lot of fun in one big rack.
Have to buy it a bit at a time of course...........

In this day & age when large corps. like won't make any decent gear
that appeals to small groups of people, I'm so glad Moog Music exits.

We must assume you mean EXISTS! May Moog never again exit
Nice 'Memory Modular' idea there btw. Winnipeg is it? Good to see at least two Voyagers will sell North of the border. I bought one of only two that I've seen in all the musics stores in Calgary... music stores here are LAME. We get none of the good gear to try.

Looks like this became a Canadian forum
OK, I have 2 Voyager SE (plus extras, like CV etc) but would love to have 2 RME as well.

never, way to expensive for a 2 voice synth. so much can be done with the ~$5,000 it takes.

Sobering comment to be sure. Realistically though, nobody in their right mind would consider getting into a Voyager(s) for the polyphony. The duophony is a side perk, but what I'm really after is simply a 6 oscillator stacked mono-lead :O) Think of it like investing in a modular system. High price tag monophonic, but your paying for the flexibility and sound, only with this configuration, its relatively portable and gives you memories. I love memories! Thanks.... for the memories . . . .

Hey, besides elirentz are you Canadian? This has become a Canadian post! Get out of here!


lol, jk ;O)

The Studio Electronics SE-1x seems like a better bargain at $1500. I haven't done a head-to-head between that and the MMV, but it's features seem close, with each having their own advantages. If I were looking for a second monophonic moog-like synth, it's an attractive option. Of course I'd much rather have an Omega-8, but $4500 is too steep of a price for me.

I compared my Moog Source to the SE-1X and the Source beat it for balls and beef, no contest. The SE-1X is a good sounding synth, but it is no Moog and no Voyager.

Voyager RME has dual filters, flexible filter configurations (6/12/18/24 dB/oct slopes and bandpass with HP), continuous waveshaping, better interface (mixer is buried in menu on SE-1X), better envelopes, and tons more I/O points.
