None that I've found with any real quantity/quality. There's a Voyager forum on Yahoo Groups (not very active anymore) with a few patches in the Files section.

If you haven't already done so, download the four Voyager factory banks and go through them. There's bound to be a few agreeable sounds in these 512 presets. Find the ones you like and assemble your own custom sound bank. You can also use any sound as a starting point to tweak a sound into something else.

For an understanding of basic synthesis concepts, I would recommend the book "Power Tools for Synthesizer Programming" by Jim Aiken. The concepts presented should provide you with more insight on building better synth patches.

Sorry that I can't offer you more here.

Hello :)
I work in Sound Engineering and Design. I'd like, if I can, give you a big tip.
With all the respect (please note), my deepest suggestion for you is to tweak the machine with your own hands, instead of wasting time looking for cool sounds.
Basically, becouse if your passion has been strong enough to get this jewel called voyager, you already listen to a lot of sounds in music.
It's a learning process.
Basically people download sounds becouse so they can listen to a peculiar sound, and studyng it.
That's correct unless you are a deep listener in music.
Once you feed your ears with fresh sounds here and there on music recordings, you don't need anymore to listen to other people's patches..instead you need to tweak "till your finger hurts" .
Learning synthesis is not so hard at all.. a fun intellectual art
At first you study..then to study more, you start making laboratory work.
"Hands on the pots" is the best way to have a good book as a learning companion. Read and then immediately tweak the machine. Play it and study it untill all the secrets inside are revealed. Once that, you can master any synth of this planet.
Modulars are pretty the same of pre-cabled machines..for examples.. its's just a matter of learning a logic process..and a bit of fantasy.

building a sound from scratch makes you feel like you have made really something.

I hope I didn't misunderstood the meaning of your post.

:)

btw.. I've been teaching analog and digital synthesis for some years to SAE sound Engineers' school.. if some of you guys need help or tips with synthesis..just ask. If I can I'll be glad to help.

The Voyager already contains hundreds of hidden presets.

The thing is, though, in order to access them, you have to adjust the knobs to a particular position. The positions are different for every preset, but there sure are a lot of them!

LOL !!!!!!

Yes, this is right !

These knobs are made for tweaking. And you can't harm the instrument by turning them. So give them a try, Hitmachine.
