Moog tips and tricks

[sinus]

here is a litle trick:

connect a moogerfooger to Effect loop insert=no effect just drive

sync OSC 2 (32´)and switch it off in the Mixer.

than use OSC 2 for Wave Modulation .

if you like modulate OSC 2 frequency just a bit with the LFO

switch Osc 1 and 3 (32´)on.

turn Osc 2 frequency and all 3 wave knobs until you got a good sound

gives you some extra growwlll.

Route the filter output of the vx351 into the filter input on the back of the voyager for punchier envelopes.

[LWG]

Phaser with no Phaser

Note: Vger's left (mono) only, routed to mixer.

Initial patch:

Start with bright-sounding wave/one oscillator.

No envelope amt to filter

filter mode: lowpass, pole setting: 1 or 2-pole has a more open effect.

filter kb amt: 0

filter spacing: +1.5

filter resonance: 6 or 7

filter freq: about 1 khz (about 1.5khz if 3 or 4-pole settings used)

AEG sustain: 10

wheel or pedal mod bus: triangle source, filter freq destination.

lfo rate: .3 hz

The phasing effect will be controlled as such:

filter cutoff = center frequency

lfo rate = phasing rate

wheel/pedal bus amt = phaser depth

filter resonance = regeneration (feedback)

Certainly no MF-103 however, this internal phasing effect can definitely hold
it's own against any four-stage (and a few six-stagers) stand alone unit.
In addition the filter can also be used to process external signals thru the phase effect.

Cruel Hoax, pardon my ignorance but can you explain in a little more detail what exactly the difference is between an interrupt and non-interrupt insert cable and how it might be used/benefit a small rig like my own (I don't have the VX or CP add-ons just yet)? I do have an FB2 I've spent a good 20+ hours with a measely breakout cable/mini/FB2. Good stuff.

I´m not Cruel Hoax but …maybe I can help:

If you put any stereo plug into the External Effect Insertpoint of the Voyager the Mixer will be internally disconnected from the Filter (see figure 17 in the manual).
If you want to get the signal out of the Mixer of the Voyager (for to route it to any effect or console/or back into ext.in e.g.) without the Mixer being disconnected from the Filter, you simply take a stereo 1/4 plug and make a short circuit between the Tip and the Ring off the plug -and- connect a cable with a mono plug to it. This way you have the internal connection again even if there is a plug plugged in. You don´t need VX or CP for this. The benefit of the non-interrupted would be: you have the sound of the voyager clean without effect -and- wet with any effect back into the ext.in .e.g. what creates a loop for additional feedback sounds.

Hello,

A quick clarification on the above:
The phaser effect requires that you not use a plug in the right output, as in order to produce the notch which results from the cutoff frequencies being offset in LP response mode, it uses the summed signals. Left output goes to your mixer or audio interface.
Most of the other mono patches that emulate classic sounds will require the plug if you only wish to use a single filter.
My own method of notation is to place a character (plus sign, asterick, or other) next to the patch name when you store it.
Each character can be referenced to which output configuration that patch requires so that you remember to change your cabling.
In addition you can also use a symbol or character to be a reminder that
a particular patch requires an external device such as CP251/VX combo or
a Mooger module in the mixer loop.
