Pitch wheel and key/gate issues on my voyager OS
Posted: Fri Apr 23, 2021 4:05 pm
Hi!
I've got a minimoog voyager old school that I bought new about 10-11 years ago. Last year I started to notice that the pitch wheel was somewhat instable - small movements sideways (i.e. not up and down) would cause slight changes in pitch. The wheel feels a bit loose, but I guess thats normal as the mod wheel is a bit loose sideways as well.
I was in contact with moog and changed the pitch wheel trim pot to a new one, but sadly it didn't help....it's still unstable. Is there anyone else with the same problem, or perhaps someone with a good idea?
The other problem is a strange one.....the lowest key (F) on the keyboard will not keep it's gate signal if I engage more than one key above. Example: If I press the low F and keep it pressed it will keep on sounding again if I play another key and release it. But if i play legato with two higher keys, while keeping the lowest F pressed, it will go silent when I release the other two.
The Voyager OS has last key priority and this behavior is not normal - all other keys works as expected, but the low F will loose it's gate signal if 2 or more higher keys are pressed simultaneously.
I asked moog for advice, but the answer was to get in contact with my service center in Sweden. I did so but haven't heard from them.
Anyone out there with the same issue or if someone have a clue on this would be great as well.
