Signature #191 in Maple. If you can't justify the price don't buy it. However, if you take into consideration the quality of the wood, parts and craftsmanship it is well worth the price tag. This is not your run of the mill analog synthesizer. it is a work of art and it shows. Open it up and look at the circuit boards. Immaculate!
I have a $3500 Petros acoustic guitar and it's the best acoustic guitar I've ever played. Again, it's a high quality, hand built work of art. When you buy a Voyager you're not just buying a synthesizer, you're buying beautiful work of art.
It sounds great and totally replaces my old minimoogs in my book. I think that the people at Moog did an excellent job bringing the Minimoog into the 21st century. It IS something I use everyday.
Many people will say negative things about this synth because it is so expensive and only plays one note at a time. I know many people that have saxophones that cost 2 times what a voyager costs.
Today's synthesists are spoiled by cheap virtual analog synths and ROMplers that feature tons of voices, multitimbrality, on board effects, etc. If that is what you are interested in then the Minimoog Voyager is NOT the synth for you. If you are a keyboard player that needs a great mono synth for performance then it is the synth for you. This synth deserves 5 out of 5 across the board. Anyone giving it less just doesn't get it what it is about.
I hate it when people rate something that they've only touched in a store.
