Moog Music Forum

I have been thinking recently about getting a couple of RME's to add polyphony to the Voyager. If anyone has this setup or knows more than I could you please answer these few questions.

I am assuming that you chain them via midi-ins and outs and that you set the midi key order to one for the keyboard, 2 for the first RME and 3 for the 2nd rme right?

If you twist a knob on your Voyager keyboard like filter cutoff, does it automatically update the filter cutoff on the two chained units? Also, if you save a program you created on the keyboard Voyager, does it save on the two chained units as well? Lastly, if you use the CX-351 voltage expander and CP-251 on the keyboard are the other two models linked to those in-s and outs too or do you need to get the two expander boxes for each RME and set-up duplicate paths.

I guess I am wondering if it is similar to how the evolver series is chained which is dead easy and well implemented. I know I will need to connect the audio outs of all three to a mixer, but if the above are not similar to the evolver implementation it may be more work than it is worth.

As always I appreciate your time and answers.

Hi Mark,

If no one else repsonds here, email Vortex9174 (he's a member of the SquareWave group - don't know if he's a part of this forum). Vortex has couple of RME's in his studio (see his pix in the SquareWave Photos section) and can probably answer your questions.

I wonder if Moog would give/make you a device to tune all the RMEs if you were to buy 15 + a Voyager ? Otherwise it might get a bit tedious...

I'm also curious about simultaneous editing on all Voyagers, please post any info you get from vortex.

P.S I love the Auto Tune on my Chroma: <thump> <flash> ... done!

If you can afford a Voyager and 15 RMEs you can afford to hire someone to tune it for you!

Me again...

Surely if all RMEs were on the same MIDI channel the on board parameters would be changed simultaneosly? All CV would need to be duplicated though.

I'm also curious about this. I'm not sure exactly how you would go about chaining Voyagers.

I do own a polyevolver, and I can't wait to add a polyevolver rack. Dave Smith really thought this feature out, seems super easy.

I have also wondered about how this is done (and how it sounds ). It would be nice if Moog would post some info on how this is done, I don't recall it in the Voyager manual. Is it in the RME manual?

I have a Voyager too, and have wondered if the polychain would work as elegantly as the Dave Smith stuff...

I have a PolyEvolver Rack and just got the MonoEvolver Keyboard... Talk about easy!!! Just plug it in change a couple of settings, and your controlling everything from the keyboard.
Reeeally powerful...

Hope that Moog thought this out as well as DSI...
