MIDI CONNECTORS:
These are connectors for MIDI IN, OUT and THRU.
LEFT/MONO and RIGHT OUTPUTS:
The LEFT/MONO and RIGHT outputs are unbalanced 1⁄4” TS jacks for use with standard TS instrument
cables.
When just the LEFT/MONO output is connected, both channels are summed to this output. A stereo
signal is created when both the LEFT/MONO and RIGHT outputs are used. When the Voyager XL Filter
is set to ‘Dual Lowpass Mode’, the RIGHT output can be used by itself for achieving a single lowpass filter
sound.
EXTERNAL AUDIO IN:
This is an unbalanced 1⁄4” TS input that accepts any instrument or line level signal and routes the signal to
the Mixer. A dedicated EXTERNAL input control on the Mixer adjusts the signal level.
MIXER OUT/FILTER IN:
This is a 1⁄4” TRS jack that is used for inserting a processing device between the Voyager XL Mixer and
Filters. The tip is the send and the ring is the return (see the illustration on page 17).
TNC LAMP CONNECTOR (2):
These are two 12VDC TNC outlets for a gooseneck lamp.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE – Do not alter the power connector in any way. Doing so can result in
the risk of shock, injury or death. Be familiar with the safety instructions printed at the beginning of this
manual. If the connector is damaged, refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
L – The Back Panel
The back panel provides for all of the Voyager’s connectivity, including power, MIDI, audio and CV expansion
connections.
POWER CONNECTOR:
This is a standard AC power inlet, Use only a power cord designed to mate with this receptacle. The
Voyager power supply is designed to work with power inputs of 100-240 VAC; 50-60 Hz.
1. You can use the Voyager XL to process any audio signal simply by plugging into the EXTERNAL
AUDIO IN jack. To hear the external audio signal without having to hold down a key on the keyboard, set
the ENV. GATE switch to ‘ON/EXT’. This will trigger the envelopes. Make sure that the Volume Envelope
SUSTAIN control is set to maximum. The Volume Envelope will remain at its Sustain level until the
ENV. GATE switch is changed to ‘KEYB’.
2. The EXTERNAL AUDIO INPUT is not limited to processing monophonic signals - it can work well
for processing polyphonic signals, too. For example, connect the MIDI Out of the Voyager XL to the MIDI
Input of another polyphonic keyboard, then feed that audio output back into the Voyager XL through the
EXTERNAL AUDIO IN. Now you have a polyphonic source that is being affected by the Voyager’s Filter
and EGR circuits.
