Understanding the VX-351
The VX-351 is organized by section – similar outputs are grouped together. Here’s
the rundown…
TOUCH
This group of outputs is generated from the Touch Surface Controller. There are
three CVs (X, Y, and A) and one gate signal.
X: This is the CV generated by left to right (horizontal) position of contact with the
touch surface.
Y: This is the CV generated by up and down (vertical) position of contact with the
touch surface.
A: This is the CV generated by the amount of area covered on the touch surface.
GATE: This is a gate signal generated by contact with the touch surface. When
contact is made, the Gate is ON and when no contact is made the gate goes
OFF.
KBD
This group of outputs is generated from the Voyager’s Keyboard. There are three
CVs (Pitch, Velocity and Pressure) and one gate signal.
PITCH: This is the CV determined by the note that is played on the Keyboard. It is the
same voltage used for determining the pitch of the Voyager’s Voltage Controlled
Oscillators.
VEL: This is the CV determined by the velocity used to depress a key.
PRESS: This is the CV determined by how much pressure is exerted on a key after it is
depressed.
GATE: This is the gate signal generated when a key is depressed.
WHEELS:
This group of outputs is generated from the Left Hand Controller Wheels.
PITCH: This is the CV generated from the Pitch Wheel.
MOD: This is the CV generated from the Mod Wheel.
PEDALS:
This group of outputs is generated from the MOD1 and MOD2 jacks on the rear
panel of the Voyager.
MOD1: This is the CV generated from the MOD1 input. The MOD1 Input is a CV input
on the Voyager that determines how much of the PEDAL/ON Mod Bus Source goes
to the PEDAL/ON Mod Bus Destination. With nothing plugged into the MOD1 jack,
the voltage that’s present at the MOD1 jack is +5V. When a CV is plugged in to the
MOD1 input, that voltage replaces the +5 Volt signal at the MOD1Input. The
Voltage that appears at the MOD1 Input is duplicated at the MOD1 output.
MOD2: This is the CV generated from the MOD2 input. The MOD2 Input is a CV
input on the Voyager that is an external modulation source for the Mod Busses. With
nothing plugged into the MOD2 jack, the voltage that’s present at the MOD2 jack is
+5V. When a CV is plugged in to the MOD2 input, that voltage replaces the +5 Volt
signal at the MOD2 Input. The Voltage that appears at the MOD2 Input is
duplicated at the MOD2 output.
