Moog intros Minimoog Voyager OS

Moog introduces the Minimoog Voyager OS, featuring the analog sound engine of the Voyager, but without the digital controls.

Moog says that it’s the perfect solution for players looking for a roadworthy replacement for their Minimoog Model D, as a full-featured centrepiece for a modular synth rig, or for those craving direct, hands-on connection to their creativity.

It features extensive patching facilities, and expanded modulation capabilities. The signal path starts with a bank of three wide-range, high-stability voltage controlled oscillators, one noise source and one audio preamplifier for externally-applied audio signals. The sound modifiers are two Moog filters and one stereo VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier).

Control devices include a 44-key keyboard with velocity and afterpressure outputs, pitch bend and modulation wheels and many control/pedal input jacks. It has a hinged, multi-position panel and a solid hardwood cabinet, and the power supply accepts any power voltage from 100 volts to 240 volts.

It has a price between that of the Voyager and the Little Phatty.
