Dual Lowpass Mode:
The Voyager’s Dual Lowpass lter mode features two
lowpass lters which are routed to the left and right
audio output, creating a stereo effect. The CUTOFF
knob controls the frequency cutoff of both lters.
The lters can be set to the same cutoff frequency,
or adjusted to different cutoff frequencies using the
SPACING control. When the two lters are set at
different cutoff frequencies and routed to two different
speakers, what you hear can be a fantastically swirly
and vocal sound – similar to a phaser effect. In Dual
Lowpass mode, the RESONANCE control affects both
lters identically.
Highpass Lowpass Mode:
In Highpass/Lowpass mode, the Voyager’s lters are
congured as a lowpass and highpass lter in series,
resulting in a bandpass lter. The output of the
bandpass lter is routed to both outputs. As with the
Dual Lowpass mode, the CUTOFF control changes
the cutoff frequency of both lters, and the SPACING
control sets the frequency difference between the
highpass lter and lowpass lter. The spacing between
the two lters creates a variable passband. In this mode,
the RESONANCE control affects only the lowpass lter,
thus making for some distinctive and ususal lter sounds.
The Voyager has two voltage controlled lters (VCF’s) that can be congured either as dual lowpass lters
or as a combination of highpass & lowpass through a front panel switch. Additionally, the cutoff slope of
each lter can be changed in software, resulting in a wide range of unique and interesting sounds.
