street priceThis is a successful attempt to remind the world of what an analog synthesizer is. It appeared in 2002, when Dr. Robert Moog finally won the rights to his company (Moog Music) back.
The signal path remained completely analog and schematically very close to the original Model D. Minor changes were made to eliminate undesirable changes in pitch (pitch drift), which all analog synthesizers featuring VCO fall prey to.
As for the "legacy" Voyager got:
Three analog voltage-controlled oscillators with wave shape.
Classic low-pass resonant filter with the possibility of modulation by different sources.
Analog voltage controlled amplifier with ADSR-envelope generator.
An individual envelope generator for VCF with attack, release, after-sound and pedestal time control.
A low-frequency generator with a waveform selection.
New options:
Settings of all knobs and switches can be saved in patches. A total of 128 patches are provided (with the updated OS - 896).
The keyboard is velocity sensitive now and features aftertouch.
The common vintage appearance has a striking detail - a touch panel that allows you to control the parameters of the modulation.
Full MIDI compatibility - in, out, thru.
There are also connectors that allow you to build circuits bypassing internal routing, and add external modulation signals, which allows you to get the flexibility of the modular system. The rear panel of the control unit covers a wide range of connectivity features:
CV for VOL, PAN, FILTER, WAVE, PITCH, MOD1 and 2 parameters.
Sync for the LFO control.
Sample&Hold effect possibility.
There’s a break featured in the circuit between the mixer and the controlled filter.
This synthesizer was used by: Madonna, Black Eyed peas, Alicia Keys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Maroon 5, Nickelback, Dream Theater, The Crystal Method ...

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the creation of the legendary Minimoog Model D, in 2010 an extended version of Voyager was released. The new synthesizer was named "XL", apparently the designers wanted to emphasize the size and functionality. In...
This is probably the most legendary and most popular synthesizer of all time. While the algorithms of the sound engines were changing getting more complicated, amazing VST and AU instruments appeared - Minimoog remained a must have device. And every...
An American engineer, founder of the biggest synth brand name, electronic music pioneer, inventor of an iconic analog instrument – probably the most recognizable one not only among musicians and music technicians but also among those who hardly have anything in common with music at all. We talk about Moog and its creator – Robert Moog who entered Pop Culture Hall of Fame.
