The following are some ways to use the VX-351 and VX-352 with the Voyager. Gather up some 1⁄4” patch
cords and try these suggestions:
1. Use the Mod Wheel to control the amount of both Mod Buss signals
This is a really useful way to use the Mod Wheel as a controller for more than one type of modulation. To
try this out, perform the following steps:
- Initialize the Voyager’s parameters by selecting ‘INIT. PARAMETERS’ in the Edit Menu. The
initialization preset has the Mod Wheel configured to modulate the oscillator pitch with
the LFO Triangle wave.
- Set the PEDAL/ON MOD BUSS controls as follows:
SOURCE
: Square wave
DESTINATION:
FILTER
SHAPING
: ON/PGM
AMOUNT:
5
- Using a patch cord, connect the VX-351 Mod Wheel output to the Voyager’s MOD1 Control Input.
- Play a note and move the Mod Wheel forward. You’ll hear both triangle wave modulation of the
pitch and square wave modulation of the filter fade in as the Mod Wheel is moved.
This is a useful patch that can be used on a variety of patches where you want two types of modulation to
fade in by using the Mod Wheel.
2. Mod buss signal modulates more than one destination.
This is a way to use one Modulation signal to control more than one destination.
- Initialize the Voyager’s parameters.
- Using a patch cord, connect the Mod Wheel Mod Buss output to the Voyager’s FILTER input jack.
- Play a note and move the mod wheel forward. You’ll hear the LFO triangle wave modulating both
the Voyager’s pitch and filter parameters.
A variation of this would be to insert an Attenuator between the Mod Wheel Mod Buss output and the
Filter Input. This way you can adjust the amount of modulation that goes to the filter.
3. Pressure controls Pedal/On Mod buss amount.
Just as you can use an expression pedal plugged into the MOD1 input to control the Pedal/On Mod Buss,
you can use another signal that varies in the same range to perform the same function. The Pressure signal
from the Voyager’s keyboard is a good example of this. Try the following:
- Initialize the Voyager’s parameters.
- Set the PEDAL/ON MOD BUSS controls as follows:
SOURCE
: Square wave
DESTINATION
: FILTER
SHAPING
: ON/PGM
AMOUNT
: 5.
- Using a patch cord, connect the VX-351 KBD Pressure output to the Voyager’s MOD1 Input.
- Play a note and press down the key you are playing. The Modulation of the filter should increase
as you add pressure, and disappear when you’re not pressing hard at all.
