moog minimoog voyager (old school) price : $2,395.00

the minimoog® voyager® old school synthesizer is a monophonic analog performance synthesizer. it has extensive patching facilities, and expanded modulation capabilities. the signal path starts with a bank of three wide-range, high-stability voltage controlled oscillators, one noise source and one audio preamplifier for externally-applied audio signals. the sound modifiers are two moog filters and one stereo vca (voltage controlled amplifier).

control devices include a 44-key keyboard with velocity and afterpressure outputs, pitch bend and modulation wheels and many control/pedal input jacks.the minimoog® voyager® os has a hinged, multi-position panel and a solid hardwood cabinet. the power supply accepts any power voltage from 100 volts to 240 volts.

oscillators module:
three wide-range, high stability vco’s (voltage controlled oscillators) with continuously-variable waveforms.
* frequency controls (2) vary the frequencies of oscillators #2 and #3 over a +/-7 semitone range with respect to oscillator #1.
* octave selectors (3) set the frequency ranges of the oscillators in six octave steps.
* wave controls (3) provide continuous control over the waveforms of the oscillators, from triangular, to sawtooth, to square, to narrow rectangular.
* 1-2 sync switch synchronizes the oscillator #2 waveform to the frequency of oscillator #1, for dramatic timbral effects.
* 3-1 fm switch provides linear frequency modulation of oscillator #1 by oscillator #3.
* 3 kb cont switch disconnects oscillator #3 from control by the keyboard, thereby enabling it to function as a drone.
* 3 freq switch lowers the frequency of oscillator #3 into the sub-audio range, thereby enabling it to function as a low frequency audio or modulating oscillator.

mixer module:
five-input mixer for combining the audio sources prior to filtering.
* input level controls (5) adjust the relative levels of the oscillator, noise, and external audio input signals.
* input switches (5) enable the player to quickly switch individual audio signals in and out.
* external level led enables the player to set the correct external audio signal level.

filters module:
dual mode filter module includes dual lowpass and highpass-lowpass filtering. dual lowpass mode consists of two moog lowpass-resonant filters in parallel, one per output channel. highpass-lowpass mode consists of moog lowpass filter in series with a highpass filter.
* cutoff control sweeps the frequencies of both filters throughout the audio range.
* spacing control sets the spacing between the frequencies of the two filters, over a +/-3 octave range.
* resonance control adjusts the resonance of both filters, from none (pure lowpass response) to filter oscillation.
* kb cont amount control sets how much the filters open and close as the player presses different keys on the keyboard.
* dual lowpass/highpass-lowpass switch selects between dual lowpass operation or highpass-lowpass operation.

envelopes module:
the envelopes module generates two wide-range adsr (attack decay sustain release) envelopes. the filter envelope sweeps the filter and is available for modulation shaping. the volume envelope shapes the overall volume.
* attack controls (2) determine the attack times of the envelopes.
* decay controls (2) determine the decay time constants of the envelopes.
* sustain controls (2) determine the sustain levels of the envelopes.
* release controls (2) determine the release time constants of the envelopes.
* amount to filter control determines how much the filter envelope will open and close the filter, from full negative (inverted envelope) to full positive (non-inverted envelope).
* envelope gate switch selects whether the envelopes will be triggered by the keyboard, on , or by an externally-applied gate.

lfo module:
low frequency oscillator generates triangular, square, sample & hold, and smoothed sample & hold waveforms for use as modulating signals.
* rate control sets the lfo rate over the range 0.2 hz (one cycle every five seconds) to 50 hz (fifty times a second).
* wave lfo selector selects triangle, square or sample & hold (stepped or smooth) waveforms for use with the mod busses.
* rate led provides visual indication of the lfo rate.

enhanced modulation busses module
selects the sources, destinations, and shaping signals for the two modulation busses.
* source selectors (2) selects the modulation source from the lfo, oscillator 1, oscillator 2, oscillator 3, noise or the external modulation input (mod2).
* destination selectors (2) selects the modulation destination from pitch, oscillator 2, oscillator 3, the filter cutoff frequencies, the oscillator waveforms, or lfo rate.
* controller selectors (2) selects the mod wheel, mod1, velocity, pressure, filter envelope or volume envelope to shape the modulation signal on that bus.
* amount controls (2) sets the overall modulation amount for each bus.
