Voyager Old School: Setting the Pitch Bend Range

The Pitch Bend Range of the Voyager Old School is set to a factory default of +/- 7 semitones
nominal (+/- musical fifth).

An internal jumper makes this setting, and can be moved to set the pitrch bend range to +/- 2
semitones, or +/- 1 octave.

The procedure requires a clean and comfortable worktable, a #2 Phillips screwdriver, and a “prop

block” - an object at least 2” high, no higher than 2 7/8”, used to prop up the chassis – a 2” thick roll
of duct tape works great! The procedure requires the user to open the back panel of their
minimoog. This will not void the warranty, provided NO ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE TO THE CIRCUITS
INSIDE! The procedure should take just a few minutes.

1) Place the Voyager on your worktable with its back facing you. MAKE SURE THE POWER IS
DISCONNECTED FROM THE WALL OUTLET!!!! Opening the Chassis with the power connected
poses a serious risk of electric shock!
Touch a grounded object to discharge any static electricity
built up on your body.


2) Lift the chassis with the handle until it’s at a 90-degree angle with the table – insert your prop
block underneath the chassis. Then lower the chassis so it is resting on the prop block. The hinge
that holds the back panel should be in the middle of the prop block. (fig. 1) The back panel with
the Voyager’s serial number will now be facing you.
