User manual MOOG VOYAGER ELECTRIC BLUE

[. . . ] IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING ­ When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1) Read all the instructions before using the product. 2) Do not use this product near water ­ for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool or the like. 3) This product should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer. 4) This product, in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. [. . . ] This utility will replace any presets that are in memory, so be sure to back up any presets you want to save before going through this process. 3. 4 PROGRAMMABLE SYSEX DEVICE ID This function can be used in a situation where more than one Voyagers are in a setup. By Changing the SysEx Device ID, when a Preset Bank is sent, the Device ID byte in that SysEx message matches the Device ID set in that Voyager. When a SysEx data stream is sent to the Voyagers, only the Voyagers that have matching Device IDs receive the SysEx messages. This way, when more than one Voyagers are used, and each one has a different SysEx Device ID, Presets or Preset banks can be sent to an individual Voyager in that setup. To use this feature, select "SysEx Device ID" and press ENTER. The screen will prompt: "System Exclusive ID Number 1". Use the + or ­ buttons to select a number between 1 and 128. 4. 1 TRANSPOSE IN/OUT The Transpose In/Out function can be used independently for MIDI Notes transmitted and received. To use this feature, select "Transpose In/Out". The screen will prompt: "Keyboard Transpose Semitone(s) ___; MIDI Key Transpose Semitone(s) ___. Keyboard Transpose Semitones refers to the number of semitones that the MIDI notes generated by the Keyboard (MIDI out) are transposed: up to 24 up or 48 down. MIDI Key Transpose Semitones is the number of semitones that the MIDI notes received by the Voyager are transposed: maximum 48 up and 48 down. The CURSOR button is used to move between the Keyboard and MIDI key Transpose values. Use the +/- buttons to select the number of semitones you wish to transpose up or down. The values set here are not remembered on power down ­ they must be set each time the Voyager is powered on if this function is used. If the Voyager is controlling a device such as a drum machine or sampler, where drum sounds are mapped to low MIDI Note number values, then Keyboard transpose can be used to lower the values of the Voyager's MIDI Note On values. However, if you do not want this to affect the pitch of the Voyager, then do the following things: first, make sure the Voyager's MIDI Merge function is Off. Second, Connect the Voyager's MIDI out to the drum machine or sampler. Third, if you are recording sequences including the Voyager, make sure the drum Machine or sampler's MIDI input is echoed to the output, connect the MIDI out to the Voyager's MIDI In. Fourth, in the Voyagers Master Mode, turn Local Keyboard control OFF, and then go to the Transpose In/Out function. Finally, lower the Keyboard Transpose Semitone Value ­ 24 semitones, then set the MIDI Key Transpose Semitone value to +24 Semitones. The result is that the Voyager can trigger MIDI notes 2 octaves lower, yet sound the same. [. . . ] Selecting Oscillator Levels as the Programmable Mod Destination can yield some interesting effects as well. These are just scratching the surface of the synthesis possibilities afforded by the Voyager, the VX-351, and a CP-251. Connecting other CV compatible equipment We've covered some basic uses of the Voyager and the VX-351 ­ and even added a CP-251 to the mix. Other CV compatible equipment like our moogerfooger analog effects can be added to liven up the proceedings. Other CV compatible equipment can be connected as well. [. . . ]
