The Voyager is not without its limitations, to be sure...if you are looking for lush pads, realistic strings, samples, or the like, then it is certainly not the synth for you.
That doesn't make it bad, however. For a mono, it is incredibly versatile, the build quality is fantastic, but most important of all is what it draws out of you.
I pick this synth up more than any of my others because of the musicality it has. I don't exactly know how to explain it, and I know that is a vague quality, but this synth *feels* more like an expressive instrument than any other in my collection, and I find that the way in which I interact with it is markedly different. I'm not sure why that is, exactly.
Is it the same as a vintage Mini? I don't know. I've never been one to buy into the Moog hype (for a long time, I was a disciple of vintage Rolands), and have never owned a vintage Moog. I picked my Voyager up used, and it was certainly worth that price. This is far and away my favorite synth now.
It's an incredible joy to play, and I would be devastated to lose it.
