Hi guys.

I have spent the last few days doing a short teacher training course, and will have to deliver a micro teaching presentation, this coming Tuesday.

My subject is Oscillators, and I will be using the Voyager to illustrate their use and versitility. We have a deaf person in our group and to make the session interesting to her, I will be using my laptop as an oscilloscope. I am using the built in mic to pick up the sound, as opposed to running a line in to the computer - don't want to tempt fate by using too much technology!

Having tested this in my studio, I found that the raw waveforms didn't really resemble their associated icons (triangular was close, but more like a sin, sawtooth not sharp, square not sharp and rectangular nothing like it) and was wondering why? Is it because I am getting colouration of the soundwaves from the speaker cabinets and the room, perhaps? Is there something odd about my Voyager? Or is it an analogue, or other scientific issue?

Forgive my ignorance on this, but I don't want to look a fool next week!

Second question: Is the Voyager's ability to morph between wave forms a feature that is unique to it, or can all Moogs (and indeed any other synths) do this? I have come across a good few synths and don't recall seeing this feature before. Again, forgive my ignorance.

Any help greatly appreciated...It is better to be loved or hated than to be regarded with indifference.
I might look a fool, I might act the fool, but take me for a fool and I'll make a fool of you.
If the past is ill, make the future better.
