Dual Lowpass Mode:
The Voyager’s Dual Lowpass filter mode features two
lowpass filters which are routed to the left and right
audio output, creating a stereo effect. The
CUTOFF
knob controls the frequency cutoff of both filters.
The filters can be set to the same cutoff frequency,
or adjusted to different cutoff frequencies using the
SPACING
control. When the two filters are set at
different cutoff frequencies and routed to two different
speakers, what you hear can be a fantastically swirly
and vocal sound – similar to a phaser effect. In Dual
Lowpass mode, the
RESONANCE
control affects both
filters identically.
Highpass Lowpass Mode:
In Highpass/Lowpass mode, the Voyager’s filters are
configured as a lowpass and highpass filter in series,
resulting in a bandpass filter. The output of the
bandpass filter is routed to both outputs. As with the
Dual Lowpass mode, the
CUTOFF
control changes
the cutoff frequency of both filters, and the
SPACING
control sets the frequency difference between the
highpass filter and lowpass filter. The spacing between
the two filters creates a variable passband. In this mode,
the
RESONANCE
control affects only the lowpass filter,
thus making for some distinctive and ususal filter sounds.
The Voyager has two voltage controlled filters (VCF’s) that can be configured either as dual lowpass filters
or as a combination of highpass & lowpass through a front panel switch. Additionally, the cutoff slope of
each filter can be changed in software, resulting in a wide range of unique and interesting sounds.
