Related Controls:
Release Switch:
The release time of the envelopes is set by their respective RELEASE control knob, but this control knob can
also be switched OFF using the RELEASE switch located on the left-hand control panel.
NOTES:
1. The Release function is actually a divider for the release time, so if the RELEASE
control knob is set to 10, the release of the envelopes will not be absolutely abrupt with
the RELEASE ON/OFF function switched off.
2. The RELEASE function can also be remotely controlled by sending MIDI CC message
64 with the following values:
0-63 = OFF
64-127 = ON
Envelope CV Inputs on the Patch Panel:
GATE (Envelope Gate Input)
The GATE jack allows you to connect a footswitch or input a CV gate signal to remotely trigger both
Envelope Generators. This input triggers the EG’s only when the front panel ENV GATE switch is set to
‘ON/EXT’. If the ENV GATE switch is set to ‘KEYB’, any input on the GATE jack will be ignored.
RELEASE
The RELEASE jack allows you to connect a footswitch or input a CV gate signal. Pressing the footswitch
or applying a gate signal (+5V) enables the Release phase of both Envelope Generators regardless of the
setting of the RELEASE switch.
RATE (Rate Control Input)
The RATE jack is a CV input for external control of the Voyager’s envelope time constants, using either a CV
or expression pedal. The effective input range is -5V to +5V and effects both envelopes. A positive voltage
applied to the RATE jack will decrease the attack, decay and release times from the envelope panel knob
settings, and a negative voltage will increase the attack, decay and release times from the panel knob settings
as shown.
The envelope AD&R parameters
will expand and contract based on
the voltage at the RATE jack.
