Hi all

These two glitches have been longstanding on my voyager, but I'm just asking again, hoping something has changed with time.

1. When I throw the 3 KB Contact switch to off for drones - while it does go down an octave as it's supposed to - it's slightly sharp. This sucks for live playing, if i suddenly need to go to drone mode, I have to quickly retune. Come to think of it, Osc 2 and 3 have to be slightly past dead center to be in tune with Osc. 1.

2. I really like to use On/Ext, turn off all the oscs and process other instruments through the voyagers magnificent filters, BUT - either decay or sustain, can't remember which one - has to be set all the way to the left (or all the way to zero), if not, a slow decay begins. I realized this during recording, when the guitar or piano, whatever, kept getting quieter and quieter. I sent my voyager all the way to the factory, they said nothing was wrong. Only after I got back from them did I get a note from moog saying that the decay, I believe, had to be set all the way down for this to work.

I'm wondering if newer voyagers exhibit this "feature" or glitch depending on how you look at it, or if ANYONE other than me has this problem. If you want to test it, just set it to on/external w/an osc on. If the signal gets fainter in 5-10 minutes, then you share my "feature."

Finally, somwhere, maybe on the first voyager forum, there was a post on how to make the LFO go slower than it's slowest rate. Not sure if you can do this with the VX, etc., but this trick was strickly with the v's mod busses. If anyone could enlighten me, it would be most appreciated.

Many thanks! brian

Yeah I think I have got a similar problem with the decay.

Sounds like you Voyger needs to be calibrated by a Moog tech.

I wonder if there is a way to speed the LFO up.

Hey corky burger, re: "Yeah I think I have got a similar problem...

Slowing down the LFO.

Same thing happens with mine, its sharp.

hey, I spoke with amos at the factory about Osc 3 going sharp in...

Amos must be talking about the tolerance of the resistor.
