Voyager XL User’s Manual - The Basics
A Voyager XL preset is basically a “snapshot” of front panel settings combined with the parameters set in
Edit Mode. The preset that is loaded is referred to as the “Current Panel Preset” and is stored in a memory
buffer separate from the presets. This preset can be edited freely. The parameters are set by the Voyager
XL preset memory until a setting is changed, at which time the current position of that control takes over.
The Voyager has both a ‘Compare’, and ‘Recall Last Edit’ sound function. Changes to a preset can be saved
to any of the 896 preset locations using the Edit Mode function ‘Save Preset’. There are three ways to
change Presets:
1. Use the -1/+1 buttons.
2. When the External Audio On/Off switch is OFF, the EXTERNAL level control can be used
to quickly scroll through the entire current bank. When the desired preset is reached,
pressing the ENTER button will load the new preset. (For more on using this function,
see QUICK MODE, on page 47).
3. The Voyager XL responds to MIDI Bank Select and Program Change messages.
For storage and recall of more than 896 presets, Moog Music recommends purchasing the Voyager Editor/
Librarian, a Mac/PC program designed for creating, organizing and archiving presets for the Voyager family of
products. It can be purchased from the Moog Music website (www.moogmusic.com).
The Voyager XL has a full MIDI implementation. Its front panel rotary controls and switches send MIDI CCs,
and the Voyager XL synth engine receives and responds to these same commands. Presets can be sent as
SysEx data to a computer for storage, and the Voyager XL can receive SysEx data either for single presets,
preset banks, or for operating system updates.
