The Modulation Buss Path
Additional Modulation
The Touch Surface controller can control three parameters simultaneously. The position of a finger on the
touch pad generates a control voltage for the horizontal (X) position and a control voltage for the vertical
(Y) position. Pressing on the touch surface generates a control voltage based on the area (A) of the finger-
tip. A light touch causes less of your fingertip to touch the pad, while a heavy touch causes more contact
with the touch surface. Touch Surface Controller parameters (X & Y) are available as Modulation Sources
for both the Mod Wheel and Pedal/On busses through Edit Mode programming (See Edit Mode 2.1 & 2.3 -
‘PGM M-WHL SOURCE’ and ‘PGM PEDAL SOURCE’). The four Touch Surface parameters (X, Y, A & Gate)
can also be programmed as modulation destinations through Edit Mode programming (see Edit Mode 5.1
- ‘T.S DESTINATIONS’).
Many more modulation possibilities are available through the Voyager XL’s Modular Patch Panel. The Patch
Panel offers an endless array of powerful modulation and control possibilities that go far beyond the built-in
features already mentioned - all you need is a few patch cords!
Digital Features
The Voyager has three operation modes: Panel, Edit, and Master. Panel Mode is used for accessing and
performing with the Voyager’s 7 banks of 128 user-writable presets (896 presets total). Panel Mode has
a menu that can be accessed for performance related functions such as “parameter display” which shows
stored and edited values as you edit a preset. Edit Mode contains all Voyager XL functions that can be
stored in a preset that are not set by the front panel controls, such as naming presets, and some advanced
functions like Pot Mapping, or Filter Poles. Master Mode is used for global settings, such as MIDI In and Out
channels.
