Moog Minimoog Voyager XL Overview

The maple Moog Minimoog Voyager XL Monophonic Synthesizer is a 61-key programmable monophonic analog synthesizer based on the Minimoog Model D and Voyager synths. Its controls include a velocity sensitive keyboard with after-pressure, a ribbon controller with pitch and gate CV outputs, and a touch surface controlled with X,Y,A, and gate outs. The synth has 1,024 presets, 896 of which are user writable.

The Voyager XL's sound engine is powered by 3 analog oscillators with continuously variable waveforms that can be manipulated by a variety of on-board parameters including 2 active attenuators, a 4 input CV mixer, dual LFOs, 2 modulation busses, and more. The synth also features external audio inputs, allowing you to use the Voyager XL to manipulate your tracks. Its expansive CV, gate, and modulation options can be routed via the front-panel patchbay with the 10 included patch cables.

Active Attenuators
2x Active Attenuators
Channel 1 is normalled to LFO 2 output. So, if nothing is connected to the Channel 1 input jack, the output of Channel 1 will be the attenuated version of the LFO 2 output
Channel 2 is normalled to Ribbon output. So, if nothing is connected to the Channel 2 input jack, the output of Channel 2 will be the attenuated version of the Ribbon controller
Expression Pedals can be connected to the Attenuator inputs (i.e. they are ring-powered inputs)
Amount controls gain of -1 (CCW) to 1 (CW). Thus, the attenuators can create an inverted version of the waveform
Offset control allows you to add a DC voltage of -5 V to 5 V to the input signal. The Attenuator output will be clipped to approximately +/-10 V
Mixer
4 Input Mixer Inputs 1 and 2 can be attenuated via front-panel knobs
Inputs 1 and 3 can be controlled by Expression Pedals (i.e. ring-powered)
Two output CVs (+) and (-)
DC offset can be added to signal via OFFSET knob
Overall output of Mixer can be adjusted via the Master knob
Lag Processor
Rise and Fall time constants are adjustable from 1 ms to 1 s (middle is 100 ms)
LFO2
A MIDI-syncable second LFO source has been added to the Voyager XL. The default frequency range is 0.02 Hz (50 s) to 20 Hz (0.05 s). This range was made to augment the current Voyager LFO which does not go slow-enough for some very slow modulations

Inputs: LFO 2 can be
Free-running (adjusted by the Rate knob on the front panel)
MIDI Sync from external MIDI clock
Directly Clocked from a Gate CV via the front panel Clock jack
Controlled via external CV or Expression Pedal via the front panel Rate CV jack

OUTPUTS: LFO 2 has two complementary LFO outputs labeled (+) and (-). In default mode, these are the same waveform 180 degrees out of phase.
