Moog Minimoog Voyager

"His collection includes a Doepfer A100 modular synthesizer, a Mellotron, a Minimoog, and a 1970 ARP 2500. “For a long time I was using mainly the Doepfer. I was more interested in using the LFO and gates and treating other instruments with it. I wasn't interested in using a synthesizer's oscillators. But the ARP 2500 has renewed my interest in oscillators completely, because they sound incredible. It's the same thing with guitars and recording equipment — the old stuff sounds better, louder, warmer, and more soothing."

The Minimoog Voyager is one of the synths in Calvin Harris' studio, it can be seen in several photos and videos.

A special article by Stoney Roads details some special equipment select artists use.

Armin has collected many synthesizers over the years, and amongst them is the Minimoog Voyager. In an interview for [Music Radar](http://www.musicradar.com/news/dj/in-pictures-armin-van-buurens-studio-565875/3), Armin Van Buuren said about the Minimoog Voyager, “Still a classic, especially when you overdrive the input or output with a special cable and get feedback - the filter goes nuts!”

Mix engineer Tommaso Colliva on recording Drones : "There are fewer keyboards on Drones than on previous albums, and the ones we did use are the usual suspects, like the Buchla 200e, ARP 2600, Korg MS20, Prophet 5 and Moog Voyager."

"Eddie had come up with a cool new riff on a Minimoog synthesizer and shared it with Templeman and Roth. Soon after, the pair hijacked Eddie’s synth composition for “Dancing in the Streets,” a cover song that Van Halen disliked. In the end, Van Halen told Guitar World, “Ted and Dave were happy — and I wasn’t.” "

Building on top of this substructure, Reznor and Ross spent two days recording ancillary melodies on a Moog Minimoog Voyager

"Even if I use all the modern bits and pieces, it’s nice that even at the core, you have this wild electronic beating heart going on. … Last week, I tried to write my Spider-Man [trailer] opus, and I’m stuck on it, and plug in a 40-year-old mini-Moog, and was going, ‘Oh, wow! This thing is living and breathing.’ It spits back at me. It’s great." (http://www.buzzfeed.com/adambvary/hans-zimmer-film-composer-inside-his-studio)

This picture is from Kygo's Music Video "Stole The Show". It show's a back shot of the Mini Moog synth.

"The Dave Smith Poly Evolver and the Moog Voyager are my favorite bits of analog for sure. And I have a lot of other analog gear. The Voyager is not incredibly versatile in signal flow or modulation but the sound is fatter than any other synthesizer ever made, and I don't think that point is debated much. " In answer to, "What are your favourite bits of kit in your studio and why?" From an interview with Wolfgang Gartner on [FXpansion](http://www.fxpansion.com/index.php?page=12&tab=58&showartist=145&xmode=singletab).

Rocc, I've got the Moog back man, I'm back in business baby!' I was like, 'C'mon man! What?' It was on the TV tray... he was like, 'I got the keyboard back!' He was waiting for this..."

"I like the size and feel of the Voyager, to a point where I just sit down in front of it and feel inspired, because it's like I'm sitting in a cockpit of a plane... There's something magical about that synth. Whether you're using it as a controller or otherwise, it's just fantastic.”

In this interview, Liam Howlett explaind his adventure with the Minimoog: "I did something really silly about a year ago -- I had loads of analogue gear (including) a Minimoog... and I got rid of (it)! I played a JD800 in a shop, and thought it was pretty cool; it seemed to have the analogue feel. (...) When I got the JD800 home, I knew within a week I wasn't happy with it. I'm definitely getting the Minimoog back!"

In November 2001, Moog Music (then Big Briar) announced that they planned to release an updated version of the Minimoog. The new synthesizer promised to have modern features, yet continue to be authentic to the original sound quality. The company offered a new synthesizer to the customer who could come up with a name for the project. Early in 2002, they announced that the synthesizer would be named the "Minimoog Voyager". Late in the summer of 2002, Moog Music began shipping the new Voyagers. Occasionally a new system software release is made available, which can be downloaded from Moog Music's website and sent to the Voyager via MIDI. Recent software versions allow complex internal patching of control voltages, a very powerful and convenient feature for the user. Also available is the VX-351 Voyager Expander, an external box that is wired to the Voyager featuring 25 control-voltage outputs for physical CV patching. Recent versions of the Voyager software expand the original 128-patch memory to 896 patches by implementing seven selectable banks, A to G, with 128 patches each. The current model (2007) has most of the patches pre-programmed in groups corresponding to earlier software releases.

"It sounds really nice!"

In this Facebook photo, a Moog Minimoog Voyager can be seen in Basement Jaxx's studio.

In this Sound on Sound Article it says Mark Ronson uses a Moog Voyager Exerpt: As far as hardware instrumentation at Allido goes, Ronson has a collection of synths and vintage keyboards that are constantly in use, including a Moog Voyager, a Roland Juno 106, a Nord Electro and a Hohner Clavinet D6, alongside his trusty Wurlitzer, Rhodes and upright pianos. "It's cool when you have a keyboard that nobody has or isn't using much any more," he says. "One of them I put all over Robbie Williams' 'Lovelight' is the Roland String Ensemble. It comes in with the second chorus and phases through the whole thing doing the big string line. Then there's the gated sound at the beginning of the track, which is me just scratching a synth sound on a [Pioneer] CDJ1000."

At the end of the interview he lists all of his studio gear. Although it's date is 2010, I tried to list only stuff I know he has till this day.

in this photo we can see his minimoog voyager..

"We use an API 1608 desk, various compressors like the Universal Audio 1176s and the blue DBX 160 series. I still prefer my old Lexicon 480L to the digital plug-ins. The latest version of Pro Tools is great to have, because it is very easy to combine all the old gear with that. In ATR, we use the Roland TR-909 as the main drum machine; it’s part of the band’s sound, really. Then we still use the old Akais for ATR, like the S1100 or the S6000 or the MPC 2000XL. They are also part of the band’s identity in a way. Especially when you apply distortion. We also have a lot of modular synths, from the Metasonix Wretchmachine, the ARP 2600, Analogue Solutions Vostok, the Sherman Quad Filterbank and the Moog Voyager with all the external CV gate stuff. We find the Voyager better suited for ATR. My Minimoog just sounds too retro. I love the machine, as so many others (my Korg Trident, Roland Jupiter 8 etc...) but ATR has a certain sound that we stick to. I use all that other stuff more for the Alec Empire solo works. The Atari 1040ST is still the main sequencer for everything. Pro Tools is slaved to that."

"Things are Sounding and Looking good around here #ShrinerS Moog Voyager +Dave Smith PolyEvolver"

The Minimoog synthesizer is used Charly García at the time of Seru Giran

“Amazing for MIDI but it’s too stable and the filter isn’t as good as the old Moog synths. It’s great though. The octave switches are... phwoar. You just need to crank it on to tape and then it sounds potent.”

Are they more like vintage toys or do you frequently use them in the studio? "I do use them on my tracks. If something needs to be done quickly I'll turn to plugins, but I also take the time to use outboard gear, especially the Yamaha CS80, which I use a lot for pads, or the Minimoog for bass. "Everything does have its purpose and I know what to go to. The way I've got my studio rigged up, a lot of the synths have MIDI retrofit, so you can stick them on a MIDI track and send them out to whatever board you want to use."

"Mark Motherbaugh's keyboard rig comprises a Korg microKORG synth, a Moog Voyager and original Minimoog."

moog synthesizer in the background

Like many producers in electronic music I wanted to own my own Moog synth from the beginning. So the Minimoog was one of the first synths I bought when I started to make a little money with my music. I used it a lot in my early productions. My first records under my real name featured sawtooth basslines a lot. This is the synth I made them with. I have to have it serviced, though – it’s not very stable now. That’s why I bought the Voyager two years ago – to have a fully functional Moog synth when I need one. I’m not using it a lot nowadays but I will never sell my Minimoog as it was my first real proper synth.

There is a Voyager in this picture that is captured from a YouTube video.

at 36:49 you can find the synth behind him!

In an interview with Keboardmag.com he says he owns a Nord lead 2 and a Minimoog Voyager. "Yes, as well as the Nord Lead 2 I still have, and the Minimoog Voyager."

The Minimoog Voyager can be seen as one of the voices Jamie is using to play all of his monosynths as a polysynth in this video.

There are also some nice sounds where I can add a mini-moog like lead sound (made from the guitar sound thru filters...no MIDI stuff) or add an acoustic to the electric for a nice doubling (Sounds not so good on their own though).

We can see a Minimoog Voyager in this picture

….So stellte ich mir meine eigene Sammlung zusammen, die wirklich auf meinen Sound und meine Arbeitsweise abgestimmt ist. Meine Favoriten sind sicherlich der Moog Voyager, Jupiter, Solina, MS20 und mein Eurorack-Modular- System. Vieles ist Phasenbestimmt, was in meinem Fall sehr für den Prophet, JD800, Z1 etc… gilt. In diesem Moment finde ich z.B. die Mutable Instruments Module unfassbar gut.

Moog Minimoog Voyager in video

Even though the Moog Voyager may be presented as a higher standard of synth, I find the SE-1 more interesting and lush, and it has often been used on my older tracks, such as as ‘Freakside’, ‘Portico’, ‘Sea Of Sand’, ‘After Love’ together with Guy Gerber, and many others.

So what do you think of these modern analogue synths such as the Moog Voyager and Dave Smith Prophet 08 which have their heritage in classic instruments?

At the very beginning of the clip, you can see the top right corner of the Minimoog Voyager. You can tell by the layout of the knobs and the screen in the center of the synth.

"During the time in which Ultravox was led by John Foxx, he used a Guild B-301, a white Gibson EB-3 and fretless Fender Precision basses, and an EMS Synthi AKS and later Mini Moog synthesisers with an Ampeg amplifier with 8×10" speaker cabinets. While the recording of Vienna album, he used a Yamaha bass, a Fender Precision bass, a Mini Moog synthesiser and Yamaha synthesiser Later he also used Status and Steinberger basses. Cross's distinctive grey bass is an Ibanez RoadStar from the early 1980s; this bass has been used on many of Ultravox's albums and was Cross' primary instrument during the first stage of the 'Return to Eden' Tour in 2009. On the 'Return to Eden' tour in 2010 and the 'Brilliant' tour in 2012, he also used a Rickenbacker 4003 Fireglo finish bass and a standby black Fender Telecaster Bass."
