The Moogerfooger® CP-251 Control Processor makes an ideal com-
panion to the Voyager synthesizer. The CP-251 provides an LFO with
two waveforms (Triangle/Square), a Sample & Hold circuit with two
outputs (stepped/smooth), a Lag Processor, a Noise source, a Mixer
and two active Attenuators. The combination of Voyager, VX-351/352,
and CP-251 is very much like having a small Modular synthesizer. The
nice thing is that the most basic connections are already made in the
Voyager, so the CP-251 and VX-351/352 add an extra level of modula-
tion signal flexibility.
Here are some possible configurations for using the CP-251 with the Voyager. Grab some 1⁄4” patch cords
and try these ideas!
1. Simple configurations using the LFO
The LFO in the CP-251 can be used for common modulations such as vibrato, tremolo, auto-pan and
modulated filter effects, freeing up the Voyager’s LFO for other uses.
To try any of the examples shown below, begin by connecting the CP-251’s LFO Triangle output to an At-
tenuator Input, then follow the example to complete the modulation routing.
To create Vibrato:
Using a patch cord, connect the CP-251 Attenuator Output to the Voyager’s PITCH jack (or the
OSC PITCH jack on the VX-352). On the CP-251, set the LFO RATE control to 6 Hz (about 1
o’clock), and adjust the ATTENUATOR control to about ‘0.5’ on the dial (a very low amount). This
configuration will produce a constant mild vibrato. Setting the CP-251’s LFO RATE control consid-
erably higher will result in wild FM textures.
To create Tremolo:
Using a patch cord, connect the CP-251 Attenuator Output to the Voyager’s VOLUME jack (or the
OUT VOLUME jack on the VX-352). On the CP-251, set the LFO RATE control to 6 Hz (about
1 o’clock), and adjust the ATTENUATOR control to ‘10’ on the dial. This will produce a constant
tremolo effect. Adjust the LFO Rate to taste. For a sharp, volume-chopping effect, use the CP-251’s
LFO Square wave output in place of the LFO Triangle out.
To produce Auto-Panning:
Using a patch cord, connect the CP-251 Attenuator Output to the Voyager’s PAN jack (or the OUT
PAN jack on the VX-352). On the CP-251, set the LFO RATE control to 6 Hz (about 1 o’clock),
and adjust the ATTENUATOR control to ‘10’ on the dial. This will produce a constant panning ef-
fect. Adjust the LFO Rate to taste.
