Connecting other CV compatible equipment

We’ve covered some basic uses of the Voyager and the VX-351 – and even

added a CP-251 to the mix. Other CV compatible equipment like our

moogerfooger analog effects can be added to liven up the proceedings. Other

CV compatible equipment can be connected as well. Keep in mind that you

should always connect a source to a destination, and that you shouldn’t combine

multiple CVs to a single destination without a mixer.

Here are some things you could try with a Voyager, a VX-351 and our

moogerfoogers:

- Use the Voyager’s Filter envelope to control the Sweep of a MF-103 12-stage

Phaser.

- Use the Voyager’s Mod Wheel to control the Rate of the MF-103 12-stage Phaser.

- Use the Voyager’s Mod Wheel to control the Mix of Ring Modulation on a MF-102.

- Use the Voyager’s Touch surface to control the MF-102’s Carrier Oscillator

Frequency.

- Use the Noise Output to add Roughness to a MF-101’s Filter Cutoff.

This list could go on and on…

As you can gather – there are many, many possibilities for exploring synthesis –

whether you are trying to duplicate a sound or effect you’ve heard, or if you are

trying to make a sound that nobody’s heard before. Experimentation is part of the

fun!

Technical Information

The following is technical information about the VX-351’s outputs.

TOUCH

X: -5 to +5 V, 330 Ω output impedance

Y: -5 to +5 V, 330 Ω output impedance

A: -5 to +5 V, 330 Ω output impedance

GATE: +5 V On, 0 V Off; 1,000 Ω output impedance (TTL)

KBD

PITCH: -0.85 to +2.52 V; This is the Keyboard Pitch voltage range when the Voyager’s

keyboard is played. The range will be different when MIDI note-on messages are

received; The Keyboard Pitch Voltage changes by 0.935 volts per octave; 330 Ω output

impedance.

VEL: -5 to +5 V, 330 Ω output impedance.

PRESS: -5 to +5 V, 330 Ω output impedance

GATE: +5 V On, 0 V Off; 1000 Ω output impedance (TTL)

WHEELS

PITCH: -5 to +5 V, 330 Ω output impedance

MOD: -5 to +5 V, 330 Ω output impedance

PEDALS

MOD1: -5 to + 5 V, +5 V w/nothing connected to MOD 1 input. 330 Ω output

impedance.
