I recently got a Voyager, and it's amazing, but there seems to be a very annoying, basic problem with the controls - either I'm very dumb, or someone hasn't thought this through very well.

The main appeal of the Voyager to me, and I think lots of people, is the combination of real hands-on panel control or an analog synth, like an old Minimoog, but also the digital benefits of presets, memory, editing, and so on (I'm not really a MIDI person, but that, too). I'm used to turning knowbs and remembering settings, and looked forwrd to flipping between the panel settings and presets.

however, switching between full panel control and the presets is really and unecessarily annoying to do, and at least as far as I can tell there's no quicker way to do it. You have to hit three seperate buttons, one of them twice - and that's if you're lucky enough to have the Edit screen already on "real panel control." if it's not there, you have to scroll way up and down the menu by repeatedly pushing the +/- buttons, select real panel control, toggle over to "yes," and then hit enter.

that's crazy.

There shoud be ONE BUTTON to push to make this uttery basic, necessary switch between the "digital" and "analog" controls. One dedicated swtich, or one press of a button (or a one-time combination of the existing buttons, maybe).

So, is there this mystery switch or hack, or are the Moog folks just in need of a basic-design-concept ass-whuppin?

Right, I would like to see preset number 1 be the live panel preset.

-+That's a good idea.

I hadn't thought about this before, but it's a very good point.

sounds like a good idea.
