Moog Music Minimoog Voyager Old School

I love a pitch wheel without spring as the model D
studiodragon said everything else

UTILIZATION

have found so immediately as the model D
one wants to have her immediately have the

SOUNDS

with little feedback have cable boosts the signal and it sounds good thick
I want to thank for his trick synthwalker

OVERALL OPINION

I saved 10 years to buy a D model and I finally
took the old school three years after its release
I do not regret my purchase
the instrument is beautifully finished making perfect
I would do without hesitation that choice

Moog Minimoog Voyager Old School just the name "Minimoog" and already a legend ...
Such a replica of the famous Minimoog Model D but with more opportunity.
Also larger, and has the engine of the Voyager analog memories but, no MIDI and no digital controls.

Delivery in a box that is resistant to all races.
The wooden sides and big buttons give the machine a very good strength.
The Minimoog to a keyboard of 44 keys with velocity, pitch bend and afterpressure.
There is only one analog monophonic synthesizer, so rather like solo or looking for effects and complex modulations by adding other modules. Provided many connections it can also be a very good basis for control is modular.

The three oscillators are very stable, nothing to do with the old model.
A noise generator, two Moog filters + one stereo VCA, a good ability to allow patching modulation worthy of a mini modular. 10/10

More Features Minimoog OS:
Oscillator Module
- Three VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillators) with waveform continuous variables and ultra stable.
- 2 rate control vary the frequencies of the oscillators 2 and 3 over a range of + / -7 semitone in accordance with Oscillator 1.
- 3 octave selectors allow you to adjust the frequency range of 6 octaves of the oscillators.
- WAVE 3 controls provide continuous monitoring of the waveforms of oscillators triangle, sawtooth, square, rectangular.
- 1-2 SYNC switch synchronizes the waveform of oscillator 2 to the frequency of the oscillator 1 to the effects of stamps.
- 3-1 FM switch provides linear frequency modulation of oscillator 1 with oscillator 3.
- 3 KB CONT switch disconnects Oscillator 3 keyboard, allowing it to operate in drone.
- 3 FREQ switch lowers the frequency of the oscillator 3 to be used as LFO.
Mixer Module
- A mixer 5 inputs can combine audio sources prior to filtering.
- Input Level allows you to adjust the levels of the oscillator, noise, and external audio input signal.
- 5 Input switches allows the player to switch between the audio input and output.
- The LED on the external level to adjust the level of the external signal.

Module Filters
- Dual mode filter module includes low pass filters and high pass. Dual mode low pass filter has two Moog lowpass resonant parallel. Highpass-lowpass mode has Moog lowpass filter in series with a highpass filter.
- CUTOFF control the frequencies of both filters.
- SPACING adjusts the spatial frequencies of two filters over a range of + / -3 octaves .* RESONANCE adjusts the resonance of both filters.
- KB CONT AMOUNT adjusts the opening and closing filter to each triggering note.

Envelopes Module
- Envelopes Module generates two ADSR (Attack Decay Sustain Release). Envelope Volume adjusts the overall volume.
- ATTACK determines the attack time of the envelopes.
- DECAY determines the time constant of decay envelopes.
- SUSTAIN determines the levels of sustain envelopes.
- RELEASE determines the release time constant envelopes.
- AMOUNT TO FILTER determines the opening rate of the filter.

LFO Module
- The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) generates a triangular waveform, square, Sample & Hold, and smoothed Sample & Hold
- RATE adjusts the LFO rate of 0.2 Hz to 50 Hz


UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple but you need to know can an analog synthesis.
For editing sounds and effects you can really spend time.

The experiment is the search for new sounds are in order.
Then the person looking after all the sounds of a button its really not the right place, no presets in the machine.

The creation of sound, it's you and it moog.10/10
Manual and clear but small and light not as safe an Andromeda A6, for example.

SOUNDS

In the 70's, the original Minimoog has changed the face of music with sounds that were really incredible an absolute must for many musicians.

And the Minimoog Old School is are equivalent for the 21st century.
The sounds are really incredibly realistic, bold and lively, it is pure Moog ...10/10

OVERALL OPINION

The control panel of the Minimoog ® Voyager ® OS can be tilted and
the integrated power supply accepts any voltage from 110 to 240 volts.
The price of the Minimoog Old School in this release and $ 2695.00!

Otherwise very good quality / price ratio even for a mono.

The pleasant feel, good finish!
Powerful bass, complex modulation sound organic, realistic
Still a beautiful machine !!!!! 10/10

I add that in April 2010 Moog Minimoog Voyager Old School is no longer in production, the series is limited to only 500 copies (+ 250 copies. Produced after 2010) is so rare!
