Here it is
– the minimoog
Voyager
. Moog Music has put more than 30 years of
experience with analog synthesizer technology into the design of this instrument to
bring you the fattest lead synthesizer since the minimoog was introduced in 1970.
We’ve done away with the things that made 30-year-old analog synthesizers difficult
– the tuning instability, the lack of patch memory, and the lack of compatibility with
MIDI gear. We’ve kept the good parts – the rugged construction, the fun of
changing a sound with knobs in real time, and the amazing, warm, fat, pleasing
analog sound. The Voyager is our invitation to you to explore analog synthesis and
express yourself. It doesn’t matter what style of music you play – the Voyager is here
to help you tear it up in the studio, on stage, or in the privacy of your own home.
Have fun!
