Canoehead Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Hello all: I am thinking of hunting down a Voyager and wonder, aside from carefully playing all of the keys, checking tuning stability and turning the knobs, what should I be focusing on during a test drive? Thanks, Gord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canoehead Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Very true, McGoo! There was a Voyager for $2000 at a Toronto store listed late Thursday. It was sold by Friday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markyboard Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Check whether it has the expanded memory banks along with the latest after touch modification and version 3.5 firmware loaded. You can get specifics on the Moog site VGR Upgrades . Not that you have to buy one with the latest features but at least know what you are getting for your money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Wright Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 When you get one Gord, you should leave it with me for a while. I will make sure it's okay!

Doerfler Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I bought mine off eBay, wasn't worried. Voyagers are typically purchased by serious consumers, and few are gigged. Heed Marks advice and you most likely will be fine. $2000 Canadian is a buyers price, can see why it went so quickly. Hey Mark, what happened to your Avatar?

danimuschi Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I have one that I got 5 years ago... I have toured it extensively and i sits in its case and looks and plays like new. I wouldn't worry to much about it if it looks well taken care of and functions perfectly. They are very well built! Make sure that the panel light works (if its there) though. It's not that important, but it should give you a discount Make sure that mod and bender wheels are firm and works properly. Also the touchpad. I guess that these are the parts that would be most likely to malfunction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksoper Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 A couple issues I have with mine: the left channel of the headphone output has died. The other night I had a weird thing where, when I'd switch the footage of osc 2, the lfo would suddenly modulate pitch as though I had engaged the mod wheel. It only happened twice and only during the movement of the pot. Could just be fuzz in the pot. Other than that, it's solid and sounds fabulous. Good luck. 9 Moog things, 3 Roland things, 2 Hammond things and a computer with stuff on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
