Anyone play microtonal music on their Voyager?

How do you do it? just using the pitch bend wheel, or do you use some kind of MIDI program that converts the keyboard into other scales? Do tell.

you could use to send the Voyager's MIDI out to a MIDI to CV unit Feed the CV out to the Voyagers pitch and/or filter input. And then use a variable resistor on the CV cable to tune the 1 Volt/octave to 0.5 Volt/octave or other values.
Ofcause, the Voyager should be set to "local off" in the Master Menue named "MIDI Local Keyb." (#1.2) while doing so.
Or use an old analog synth's keyboard and a resistor to play the Voyager.

...or simply use the attenuators on the VX-351.
1.Run the Pitch CV OUT on the VX-351 to the In of the attenuator also on the VX-351.
2. From the OUT of the attenuator on the VX-351 go to the Pitch input on the back of the Voyager.
3. Adjust the attenuator pot to different fo how many notes you want in a octive.

As long as the scale you're going for has even temperament, this should work.
If you're trying out a scale that uses meantone temperament, you will need to use some kind of software like "Scala", but you won't be able to play in real time. You'll have to process a midi file to accomplish the tuning, because the Voyager can't be tuned with different pitch intervals between keys.
Hope that helps!
