PERFORMANCE TIP: The expressive use of the Pitch and Modulation Wheels is the key to
breathing musical life into your performances. For example, the Pitch Wheel will allow you to
perform pitch bends like a guitarist, or create on-the-fl y half and whole step modulations. The
Mod Wheel can be programmed to introduce standard modulation effects like vibrato, tremolo
or fi lter sweeps, or it can control something less expected, like the LFO rate. Although the actual
performance technique with these controls is beyond the scope of this manual, we recommend
listening to recordings of synthesizer players, guitarists and other soloists to learn the various ways
these controls can be used effectively.
Left/Mono and Right Outputs:
The LEFT/MONO and RIGHT outputs on the Voyager OS 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 Filter is set
to ‘Dual Lowpass Mode’, the RIGHT output can be used to get a monophonic sound that is unaffected by
the Filter’s SPACING control.
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’s Mixer and Filters.
The tip is the send and the ring is the return (see the illustration on page 14).
CV/Expression Inputs:
The CV/Expression Inputs are 1⁄4” TS jacks color coded with a red nut. These jacks accept an input from
an expression pedal such as the Moog EP-2, or a CV from -5V to +5V. Note that some inputs, such as the
MOD 1 input, operate only from 0V to +5V; a negative CV applied here will have no effect.
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 qualifi ed personnel only.
I – The Back Panel
The back panel provides for all of the Voyager’s connectivity, including power, audio and CV expansion con-
nections.
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.
