F – The Modulation Buss Section
Modulation is the heart of making interesting sounds with analog subtractive synthesis. The Voyager’s two
Modulation Busses open up a world of modulation possibilities that were not available on the original
Minimoog.
The Modulation Busses allow you to select a variety of modulation
sources, destinations, modulation controllers, and amounts. The
two Mod Busses are labeled MOD BUS 1 and MOD BUS 2, and
are identical in function. The control of each mod buss is selectable
instead of being tied to a particular controller, and six controller
options are available.
Each Mod Bus can select from six modulation sources, six destinations
and six controllers. One of the available controllers is the MOD
1 input on the back panel. This input can accept either a CV or an
expression pedal like the EP-2. When an expression pedal is used, the
result is a foot controller that functions just like the Modulation Wheel
to fade in and fade out the desired modulation. If nothing is plugged
into the MOD 1 input when ‘MOD 1’ is selected as the Controller, the
bus
AMOUNT
control sets the total modulation amount.
The diagram below shows the con guration of a single Mod Bus, but
the controls and selections for both busses are the same.
