Voyager Performer Edition Synthesizer

Voyager Performer Edition Synthesizer Specifications:

• Three wide-range, high stability VCO's (Voltage Controlled Oscillators) with continuously-variable waveforms.
• FREQUENCY controls (2) vary the frequencies of Oscillators #2 and #3 over a +/-7 semitone range with respect to Oscillator #1.
• OCTAVE selectors (3) set the frequency ranges of the oscillators in six octave steps.
• WAVE controls (3) provide continuous control over the waveforms of the oscillators, from triangular, to sawtooth, to square, to narrow rectangular.
• 1-2 SYNC switch synchronizes the Oscillator #2 waveform to the frequency of Oscillator #1, for dramatic timbral effects.
• 3-1 FM switch provides linear frequency modulation of Oscillator #1 by Oscillator #3.
• 3 KB CONT switch disconnects Oscillator #3 from control by the keyboard, thereby enabling it to function as a drone.
• 3 FREQ switch lowers the frequency of Oscillator #3 into the sub-audio range, thereby enabling it to function as a low frequency audio or modulating oscillator.

• Five-input mixer for combining the audio sources prior to filtering.
• Input Level controls (5) adjust the relative levels of the oscillator, noise, and external audio input signals.
• Input switches (5) enable the player to quickly switch individual audio signals in and out.
• External Level LED enables the player to set the correct external audio signal level.

• Dual mode filter module includes dual lowpass and highpass-lowpass filtering. Dual lowpass mode consists of two Moog lowpass-resonant filters in parallel, one per output channel. Highpass-lowpass mode consists of Moog lowpass filter in series with a highpass filter.
• CUTOFF control sweeps the frequencies of both filters throughout the audio range.
• SPACING control sets the spacing between the frequencies of the two filters, over a +/-3 octave range.
• RESONANCE control adjusts the resonance of both filters, from none (pure lowpass response) to filter oscillation.
• KB CONT AMOUNT control sets how much the filters open and close as the player presses different keys on the keyboard.
• Dual Lowpass/Highpass-Lowpass switch selects between dual lowpass operation or highpass-lowpass operation.

• The Envelopes Module generates two wide-range ADSR (Attack Decay Sustain Release) envelopes. The Filter Envelope sweeps the filter and is available for modulation shaping. The Volume Envelope shapes the overall volume.
• ATTACK controls (2) determine the attack times of the envelopes.
• DECAY controls (2) determine the decay time constants of the envelopes.
• SUSTAIN controls (2) determine the sustain levels of the envelopes.
• RELEASE controls (2) determine the release time constants of the envelopes.
• AMOUNT TO FILTER control determines how much the filter envelope will open and close the filter, from full negative (inverted envelope) to full positive (non-inverted envelope).
• ENVELOPE GATE SWITCH selects whether the envelopes will be triggered by the keyboard, on , or by an externally-applied gate.

• Low Frequency Oscillator generates triangular, square, Sample & Hold, and smoothed Sample & Hold waveforms for use as modulating signals.
• RATE control sets the LFO rate over the range 0.2 Hz (one cycle every five seconds) to 50 Hz (fifty times a second).
• SYNC selector selects LFO synchronization source to be from the keyboard gate, external envelope gate, external gate, or off (no synchronization).
• RATE LED provides visual indication of the LFO rate.

• Selects the sources, destinations, and shaping signals for the MOD WHEEL bus and the EXT PEDAL/ON bus.
• SOURCE selectors (2) selects the modulation source from the LFO triangle or square waveforms, Oscillator# 3, sample and hold, the external modulation input (MOD2) or noise.
• DESTINATION selectors (2) selects the modulation destination from all the audio oscillators, just Oscillator #2, just Oscillator #3, the filter cutoff frequencies, the oscillator waveforms, or LFO Rate.
• SHAPING selectors (2) selects the key pressure signal, filter envelope, note-on velocity or on to shape the modulation signal on that bus.
• AMOUNT controls (2) sets the overall modulation amount for each bus.

• MASTER VOLUME control sets the overall level of the instrument's audio outputs.
• HEADPHONE VOLUME control sets the overall level of the headphone output.
• HEADPHONES jack: 1/4' tip-ring-sleeve phone jack for regular headphones.

• GLIDE varies the speed at which the keyboard voltage changes, from instantaneous to several seconds.
• FINE TUNE adjusts the overall tuning of the instrument.
