The only problem I've had (had my Voyager Select for about 5 months) was there straight out of the box, but is really not a big deal - the instrument backlight pot does not dim the back lighting to 'off' just low illumination - as I said, no biggy and has no affect on it's awesome sonic character whatsoever! :D

Purchased a Voyager Select series about a year ago, didn't use it that much when I first got it, noticed that the right channel was a bit softer than the left. Turned it on the other day, now the right channel only plays a strange static noise, the Highpass filter no longer works (when enabled, sound is disabled completely), and the Oscillator 3 ON/OFF switch reports a change, however does not stop the audio. Maybe I didn't use it enough? Not overly sure what to do next! :cry:

Sorry to hear about that. :(
Sounds like a couple of chips have gone bad, unfortunately. I would contact Moog support about it, either through email or telephone.

It most likely has, I have contacted the local distributor who is who I got it off, hopefully they can sort it out without a massive bill to go with it. :oops:
