mod wheel sending odd continuos controller

I am seeing someting wierd while recording MIDI from the voyager to Digital Performer 4.52.
When I use the mod wheel DP records the note, modulation controler and CC 33.
This is very odd to me. I can't figure out why that CC is being sent out or how it's assigned to the mod wheel.
How can I figure out what paramete in the voyager is responsible for sending these messages?
Does anyone have a more complete source on how CC's are assigned in the voyager? I can't find anything in any of the manuals or addendums.
thanks!

Hi there,
I am seeing the same.
With version 2.5? It drives my Nordlead 3 nuts.

Voyager's Mod Wheel (and most other Voyager controls) sends two bytes of Continuous Controller (CC) data, not one. This is done to provide finer resolution and control then can be specified in a single byte. The Mod Wheel assignment is CC 1 (MSB), and CC 33 (LSB). It is not programmable, and cannot be changed.
The Voyager's CC assignments were listed in the v2.0 (and 2.1) Update User Instructions. These assignments are unchanged in v2.5.

I will attempt to deal!
Next question when I move the mod wheel all the way down to off, the value on the offset page alternates between 0 & 3. If I hold it all the way down it stays at 0. Is this normal?
Do I need to trim it out?
Can I ?

You can. Its exactly the way you adjust the pitch wheel. Remove the cover, and locate the trim pot called MOD, and adjust very carefully.
Not sure if its necesary though, mine doesn't do that.
Follow up.

I went ahead and adjusted the Mod trim to 0 but I no longer could hit 255 at full throw. Is there a scaling control? If not I think the pot is bad. Since it can be forced to 0.

Hi Dave,
*** I went ahead and adjusted the Mod trim to 0 but I no longer could hit 255 at full throw. ***
What is the highest value of the mod wheel?

I would assume 255. Anyone from tech support care to comment?

Not from tech suuport, but I've noticed that not every knob on the Voyager seems to go from 0 - 255. A few of the knobs on my Vger 'top out' at 253.
What is the upper value of the mod wheel on your Voyager?

I suppose it does not have to go to 255, but that would make sense that it would. If there is no offset control then it might be done in software.
Again anyone in tech support out there?

Hello Dave,
RL = Rudi Linhard
He does all the software inside the Voyager.
He answered your mail and asked a question.
So there is a Moog tech listening to you.
But you didn't answered his question.

Ok I am a dork! Sorry I missed this most obvious post.
The highest value it got to was 239 or so. After I trimmed to zero there appeared to be a fair amount of range at that zero point so I could move it around at the high end but never get zero to 255 without the bounce at the low end.
Thanks again.
