Moog Music Forum

Mine is a very early one. It has been home twice for upgrades over the years ( before it was mine ) the next upgrade is capable of field fitment and I will probably do it at some time. Everything has worked as expected everytime I have used it with the exception of the foolishness of the scaling out of the VX NOT being 1V/Oct and each volt being an odd offset from my other CV machines requiring the use of a signal processor to set span and offset when driving other synths.

WOW ! Two Moog Music posts in one day !

THANKS!

All that is missing, and seems to be some kind of closely guarded secret (although I don't see why?), is the number of Voyagers produced so far... Other companies don't hesitate to publish such numbers usually ? Especially when the Voyager must be successful since it's been produced for over a decade now !

Sure, it might not match numbers of huge corporations with huge budgets and resources since it's a small dedicated company crafting each one by hand, and it might not yet match the numbers of original Minimoogs D produced over 10 years yet (I don't know), but give us a ball park figure maybe ?

EDIT: Thanks for the invitation to visit. I would go in a heartbeat if I didn't live a thousand miles away, in another country and don't even have a passport...

i remain confident that moog makes quality products made in the USA. i have an issue with an oscillator and they are going to fix it for me, thats all i ask. they have been more than helpful ever since i have contacted them.

regarding the number of voyagers sold, i think its a bit more than we think. just about every performance i see on tv, whether its hip hop, pop, electronic, rock, has a voyager on stage. look through pictures of recording studios, theres usually at least one. (how many does deadmau5 own now?) not to mention all the lucky hobbyists, like myself, that have one at home. i thinks its pretty incredible that a company this small can produce not only the number of voyagers, but the number of all its product that it does

Thanks to Moog for answering some of the questions many of us have had for a long time.

It's good to have it confirmed that you've now returned to using Fatar keyboards. Also that the boards are made in Asheville and you still do the checks and 24-hour burn-in. We now know how to identify the non-Fatar Chinese keyboards on some of the older Voyagers, and it's good to know new instruments again have the Fatar ones.

As I recall, Moog authorised a company to do repairs in Britain a couple of years ago. That was too late for people like my friend with his defective Voyager, but the fact that there's now someone to go to in this country is a relief for people like me. I'm inclined to contact Moog at Asheville in the first instance if I have problems, though. Would that be the best way to go?

actually, it's pretty common practice for privately held companies to not release production numbers.

Thank you Moog! I'm very happy to read that my Voyager comes from Asheville
That's what I'v expected. I don't like all these Chinese crap.

When I put my sweet fingers on it, I bet it does!

Okay, okay, okay, that's enough positivity for the rest of the year.

Please let us return to our wild speculations, accusations, and general rumour mongering that we soooooo love to indulge ourselves in.

I mean, why make music when you subjectively have so much to complain about?

Mine was brand new and DOA. And now it is working like a charm!

I've had other DOA gear and once fixed has been problem free!
