Connecting the VX351:
Make all connections as described below with the Voyager powered OFF
To connect the VX-351, locate the male end (the end with recessed pins) of the DB-25 cable - this
is the end that plugs into the connector on the Voyager’s back panel labeled “ACCESSORY PORT”
Align the cable properly and make the connection. Use the thumbscrews to lock the connection.
Be careful not to force or cross thread the thumbscrews in the accessory port’s female threads.
Following this, connect the other end of the cable to the connector on the VX-351 labeled “FROM
ACCESSORY PORT”.
Now let’s start with a basic sound and see how the VX-351 can work with the Voyager.
- Power up the Voyager OS keyboard
- Set the panel controls to the default confi guration.
- Using a 1⁄4“ patch cord, plug one end into the VX-351’s LFO triangle output. Plug the other end
into the Voyager keyboard Filter Control Input.
- Play a note on the Voyager and you will hear the LFO modulating the Filter’s Cutoff. Adjusting the
Voyager’s LFO RATE control will change the rate that the Filter Cutoff moves up and down. This
demonstrates a basic patch with the VX-351.
- Now disconnect the cable from the Voyager’s Filter Control and connect it to the IN of one of
the VX-351 Attenuators. Set the Attenuator amount to zero. Using another 1⁄4” cable, make a
connection from the VX-351 Attenuator OUT to the Filter Control Input.
- Play a note and gradually increase the Attenuator amount. You will notice that the amount of
modulation will increase. An Attenuator is used to set the amount of a CV Source that passes to
the Destination.
This is a very basic use for the VX-351, but it demonstrates the fundamental concept of how to use it:
a source always goes to a destination. Using this fundamental concept, you can patch together additional
modulations and get as complex as you like.
NOTE: The Voyager OS does not require the VX-351 output adapter to be installed
PERFORMANCE TIP: As you make CV and Gate connections, think of the output jacks as
your Sources (like the LFO triangle wave in the above example), and the input jacks as your
Destinations (like the Filter Control Input in the above example).
