Although it’s possible to duplicate simple examples like these using Pot Mapping techniques,
it’s important to realize that Pot Mapping must be programmed for each preset individually,
while any external patching using the VX-351 and VX-352 Expanders affects all presets glob-
ally. This means that you can use simple patch routings to play ‘what if’ games with modula-
tion sources while you quickly move through the presets.
As a variation, switch the Pedal/On Mod Buss SOURCE to ‘ON’. Now play a note – pressing down makes
the filter brighter.
4. LFO triggers Voyager’s Envelopes
This is an alternative to triggering a sound from the Voyager by pressing a key. The last key pressed will
determine the pitch, but the LFO will trigger the start of the envelopes.
- Using a patch cord, connect the VX-351 LFO square wave output to the Voyager’s Envelope
Gate (ENV GATE) Input.
- Switch the front panel ENVELOPE GATE switch to ‘ON/EXTERNAL’. You should immediately
hear a note repeating at the LFO rate.
5. Using the Mults
Here is a simple example of using the Mults to distribute a modulation signal to multiple destinations.
- Initialize the Voyager’s parameters
- Using a patch cord, connect the VX-351 Mod Wheel output to one of the Mults.
- Connect a second patch cord from the same Mult to the the Voyager keyboard’s FILTER jack
(or connect to the FILTER CUTOFF jack on the VX-352).
- Connect a third patch cord from the same Mult to the the Voyager keyboard’s WAVE jack (or
connect to the OSC WAVE jack on the VX-352)
- Play a note on and move the Mod Wheel forward, then back. You’ll hear three modulations as the
Mod Wheel is moved - the filter cutoff opening and closing, the oscillator waveform shifting, and
the pitch modulating (pitch modulation is part of the initialization preset. - to hear the effects of
the the external connections alone, adjust the Mod Wheel Buss AMOUNT control, to ‘0’.)
