Having sold all 600 units of the Minimoog Voyager Signature Edition, Moog Music is releasing the Minimoog Voyager Performer Edition. Priced at $2,995, the product is paneled in oak with a walnut finish and comes with 128 preset sounds. Blue backlit pitch and mod wheels are available for $149. Accessories include a lamp kit, a molded or aluminum ATA road case with the Moog logo, and a gig bag with the Moog logo. An extended warranty plan is also available stretching the standard one year warranty to three years for an additional $125.

The Minimoog Voyager is a monophonic analog performance synthesizer designed by electronics pioneer Robert Moog, creator of the original Minimoog, which rocketed the synthesizer into public consciousness in the 1970s. The new Voyager incorporates virtually all of the sound resources and functions of the original Model D Minimoog and has many new additional features, including a three-dimensional touch surface, a velocity-sensitive keyboard, MIDI implementation, extensive patching facilities, and many new panel features.

Other features include three wide-range, high-stability voltage controlled oscillators, one noise source, and one audio preamplifier for external audio signals. The sound modifiers are two Moog filters and one stereo VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier). Modulation sources are two ADSR (Attack Decay Sustain Release) envelope generators and one multi-waveform LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator). Control devices include a 44-key keyboard with velocity and after-pressure outputs, pitch bend and modulation wheels, a three-dimensional touchpad, and many control/pedal input jacks.

The Minimoog Voyager has a hinged, multi-position panel and a solid hardwood cabinet. The universal power supply accepts any power voltage from 100 Volts to 240 Volts.
