Critic Reviews

Moog Music: Minimoog Voyager Performer Edition monophonic analog synthesizer | Tape Op Magazine | Longform candid interviews with music producers and audio engineers covering mixing, mastering, recording and music production.

tapeop.com

The Minimoog Voyager Performer Edition is a triumphant return to form, offering a rich analog experience with unmatched bass and lead sounds. Its intuitive controls and features such as MIDI, patch memories, and a touch pad make it a versatile sound-shaping tool. The synthesizer's flexibility rivals small modular synths, providing a deep dive into monophonic analog synthesis. However, its MIDI implementation has some limitations, like the lack of MIDI Pitchbend and CC data transmission, which might frustrate some users. While these issues are addressed in future software updates, the Voyager remains a unique and powerful instrument that stands out against emulations. At $2995, it's a premium option, but one that delivers on its promise of a distinctive sonic palette and a genuine Minimoog experience.
