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.
