Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Moog Minimoog Voyager Rack Mount Edition.

Features and functionality

  • The Voyager does not include an arpeggiator or sequencer, requiring external MIDI or DAW for these functions.

    Source
  • The Voyager Rack Mount Edition is capable of producing smooth bass patches, comparable to the keyboard version, with no significant difference in sound.

    Source

User experience

  • Some owners experience a "zippering" sound when using the pitch bend wheel via MIDI with the RME.

    Source
  • The RME is sometimes perceived as a compromise compared to the keyboard version, particularly due to its interface.

    Source
  • Users note that the Sub 37 tends towards aggressive tones, but it can produce softer sounds by keeping oscillators below 11 and minimizing overdrive.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The Studio Electronics Midi Mini is preferred by some for its raw, vintage sound over the Voyager.

    Source
  • The Pro 3's ladder filter is remarked upon for being close to Moog sounds during simple sync square activities, though not universally Moog-like across all tones.

    Source
  • The AJH modular setup, using two oscillators and one filter, is considered a worthy alternative to the Voyager and possibly more cost-effective than building a full modular system.

    Source
  • The Voyager sound is more similar to the Sub 37 than to other Moog models, making it a versatile option for a wide range of tonal needs.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Moog bass is highly valued, with some users considering the Minitaur specifically for its bass capabilities.

    Source
  • The Voyager RME suits setups with a keyboard controller and Linnstrument, especially if avoiding synths with keys and seeking Moog-like sounds.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • In Brazil, a price of $2,800 for the Voyager RME may be more competitive than in the USA, where a keyboard version is available for $2,700.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • The Moog Librarian Editor software is highlighted for its ability to generate new presets quickly, enhancing the Voyager's versatility in live or studio settings.

With over 700 presets, including basses, leads, and ambient sounds, it offers vast tonal variety easily customizable through analog controls.

Minimoog with FM

So, why would you pay so much for an analogue monosynth with three oscillators and one filter and only a couple of LFOs?

Well, because it sounds...like THAT.

The Voyager can do FM too, taking it beyond the classic MiniMoog.

arthurelectric

A top choice for mono synth enthusiasts on a budget

What can I say about this one, its one of the best mono synths out there. If you on budget try the lovely MINITAUR

mutemachine

a littler better than the standard keyboard

I feel like the audio quality and the overall feel when playing this is just better than the standard keyboard :)

Bass in your face. Solid and everlasting.
