Moog Music has a new way to store, organize, compile
and create Voyager presets -- the Minimoog Voyager Editor-Librarian
Software. This new software includes all the functions contained in
a Voyager preset on one screen.
Functions of the editor-librarian include: high resolution controls for creating
precise adjustments to your presets, a "Genetics" function for
mutation and morphing of presets, and the "Librarian" function which allows
the storing of a virtually unlimited number of presets, in user defined
categories. Through a MIDI connection, you can pull or replace single
presets or the entire bank of presets from the Voyager to your computer for
storage or editing. Writing presets to your Voyager's memory from your
computer is as easy as a click of your mouse.
Once presets for the Minimoog Voyager are in the computer all parameters are
displayed on the graphical user interface, including EDIT mode functions
like Pot Mapping, Touch Surface Destinations and Filter Poles.
"Genetics" is a tool used for automatic generation of Voyager presets.
Presets can be created randomly, or can be created as the "Children" of two
"Parent" presets. A user can select Morph, Mutate, Randomize, or Mix to
generate a bank of presets from the Parents. The outcome is a fast and fun
way to create unique and interesting sounds.
The Editor also allows
users to add a library in user-named categories for creating custom preset
banks. There's also a Voyager OS update function to simplify
the updating of the Voyager's firmware.
The Minimoog Voyager Editor-Librarian Software requires a Mac or PC computer
with a MIDI interface, and is available as a download from moogmusic.com
for $79.
