I've got a few synths around and my favorite has to be my Moog Voyager. From some real nice presets one can twiddle and twist them into never before heard sounds of the ether. Or you can take a simple single oscillator tone and turn it into the tastiest sounds this side of Pluto.


You have a Voyager? Me jealous! I've recently got into the wonderful world of analogue synthesis via a Little Phatty, which I've grown to love dearly, but I'd love a Voyager.


I looked at the Little Phatty and its a nice machine but the Voyager is altogether another monster. It cost more obviously but tis worth it. Still I wish it had an onboard sequencer or at least an arpeggiator.


The arpeggiator on the LP is a welcome touch. And combined with the moogerfooger CP251 connected via CV it all gets a bit modular, which is nice. I've just recently got a Doepfer MAQ 16/3 sequencer which has made me come over all Tangerine Dream for the last few weeks.


Nice rig man! Can you plug the LP directly into the Doepfer or do you need something between them. Pretty sure the Doepfer works with either MIDI or CV and was wondering if it is possible to run without a laptop.



The Doepfer is MIDI or CV, although if you run the LP via CV there are tuning issues related to the voltage output by the Doepfer. You can compensate for that by tuning the LP, but it is simpler on the whole to run it all via MIDI. I've yet to start playing around with feeding the CV out from the Doepfer into the LFO or the S&H on the CP-251 to drive the Little Phatty - hours of fun!
