Related Controls:
Release Switch:
The release time of the envelopes is set by their respective RELEASE control knob, but this control can also
be switched OFF. On the Voyager keyboard , there’s a dedicated RELEASE switch located in the left-hand
control panel for this. On the RME, the RELEASE function is switched on or off in software (in the PANEL
mode menu). The RELEASE function can also be activated by sending a MIDI CC message 64 (0-63 = OFF,
64-127 = ON) to either the Voyager keyboard or RME.
The Release function is actually a divider for the release time, so if the RELEASE
control knob is set to 10, the release of the envelopes will not be absolutely abrupt
with the RELEASE ON/OFF function switched off.
Additional CV Control (applies to all Voyager keyboards and the RME with the VX-352 CV Input Ex-
pander only):
Gate (Envelope Gate Input):
The GATE jack allows you to connect a footswitch or input a CV gate signal to remotely trigger both
Envelope Generators. This input triggers the EG’s only when the front panel ENV GATE switch is set to
‘ON/EXT’. If the ENV GATE switch is set to ‘KEYB’, any input on the GATE jack will be ignored.
Release:
The RELEASE jack allows you to connect a footswitch or input a CV gate signal. Pressing the footswitch
or applying a gate signal (+5V) enables the Release phase of both Envelope Generators regardless of
the setting of the RELEASE switch.
Rate (Rate Control Input):
The RATE jack is a CV input for external control of the Voyager’s envelope time constants, using either a
CV or expression pedal. The effective input range is-5V to +5V and effects both envelopes. A positive
voltage applied to the RATE jack will decrease the attack, decay
and release times from the envelope panel knob settings, and a
negative voltage will increase the attack, decay and release times
from the panel knob settings as shown.
The envelope AD&R parameters
will expand and contract based on
the voltage at the RATE jack.
