- Initialize the Voyager’s parameters
- Using a ¼” cable, connect the VX-351 LFO Square Output to the Voyager’s
Envelope Gate Input.
- Switch the Envelope Gate switch at the bottom right corner of the front panel to
“On/External”. You should immediately hear a note repeating at the LFO rate.
These are just a few examples of the functions that a VX-351 adds to a Voyager.
Adding a moogerfooger CP-251 to the mix
The VX–351 works incredibly well alongside the moogerfooger CP-251 Control
Processor. The CP-251 brings a CV mixer, another mult, a pair of attenuators, an
extra LFO, sample and hold circuit, a lag processor and noise source to the table.
The combination of Voyager, VX-351, and CP-251 is very much like having a small
Modular synthesizer. The nice thing is that the most basic connections are already
made in the Voyager – and the VX-351/CP-251 combo adds more modulation
possibilities.
The following examples use the CP-251 in addition to the Voyager. These patches
can get a little more complicated – make sure you have plenty of good patch
cables handy!
A) Inverting the keyboard CV to the Filters
This is a handy little trick that can be used to lower the filter Cutoff as you play
higher on the keyboard. This is similar to certain acoustic instruments like a cello,
whose tone gets duller as higher notes are played.
- Initialize the Voyager’s parameters.
- Turn the Voyager KB. Cont. Amount down to 0
- Using a ¼” cable, connect one end to the VX-351 KBD Pitch Output. Connect the
other end to the CP-251 Mixer 1 Input.
- Using a ¼” cable connect one end to the CP-251 Mixer inverting (-) out, connect
the other end to the Voyager’s Filter Cutoff Input.
- Set the CP-251’s Mixer 1 Input level and the Output level to 10. Set the Offset
control in mid position.
-Play a scale up the keyboard, from low to high, notice that the sound gets much
duller. Adjust the Output Level of the CP-251 and the Offset amount to taste.
B) Lag generator used to add glide to Filter
This is a way to apply a portamento effect to the Filters of the Voyager.
- Initialize the Voyager’s parameters.
- Using a ¼” patch cable, connect one end to the VX-351 KBD Pitch output,
connect the other end to the CP-251’s Lag Processor Input.
- Using another ¼” patch cable, connect one end to the CP-251’s Lag Processor
Output, and the other end to the Voyager’s Filter Control Input.
- Turn on the Voyager’s glide switch. Play notes at opposing ends of the keyboard,
adjust the Rise and Fall time of the Lag Processor to match the
up and down filter portamento to the up and down pitch portamento.
