I miss it
Girthy, round, creamy, Moogy goodness. This synth is immensely flexible, but it can never sound ugly. I especially enjoy creating glassy, pristine sounds by making use of the oscillator 3 -> oscillator 1 FM mod routing which tracks exceptionally well considering it's all voltage controlled! The oscillators by themselves sound incredibly beefy, and that dual filter can do wondrous things to them when they're spaced apart just so. I think something that went a little under the radar was this stereophonic quality of the Voyager, but it's certainly one of my favorite aspects of it.

savant said in his interview with image-line ''I got a Mini Moog Voyager (old school)"
"I bought the Old School a long time ago and I love playing it. It didn’t really work live because it doesn’t have a memory bank, although I did used to play it a lot and set up sounds as I went because I thought that was a fun thing to do. Though I soon realised the limitations of that."
