This is a very basic use for the VX-351/VX-352, but it demonstrates the fundamental concept of how to use
it: a source always goes to a destination. Using this fundamental concept, you can patch together additional
modulations and get as complex as you like.

VX-351 CV Output Expander - Description

The following is a description of the output signals and the various functions contained in the VX-351 CV
Output Expander.

TOUCH
This group of outputs is generated from the Voyager keyboard’s Touch Surface Controller. There are three
control voltages (X, Y, and A) and one gate signal.

X: This is the CV generated by left to right (horizontal) position of contact with the touch surface.
Y: This is the CV generated by up and down (vertical) position of contact with the touch surface.
A: This is the CV generated by the amount of area covered on the touch surface.
GATE: This is a gate signal generated by contact with the touch surface. When contact is made, the

Gate is ON and when no contact is made the gate goes OFF.

KBD
This group of outputs is generated from the Voyager’s Keyboard. There are three control voltages (Pitch,
Velocity and Pressure) and one gate signal.

PITCH: This is the CV determined by the note that is played on the Keyboard. It is the same voltage

used for determining the pitch of the Voyager’s Voltage Controlled Oscillators.

VEL: This is the CV determined by the velocity used to depress a key.
PRESS: This is the CV determined by how much pressure is exerted on a key after it is depressed.
GATE: This is the gate signal generated when a key is depressed.

WHEELS
This group of outputs is generated from the Voyager keyboard’s Left Hand Controller Wheels.

PITCH: This is the CV generated from the Pitch Wheel.
MOD: This is the CV generated from the Mod Wheel.

PEDALS
This group of outputs is generated from the MOD1 and MOD2 jacks on the rear panel of the Voyager.

MOD1: This is the CV generated from the MOD1 input. The MOD1 Input is a CV input on the Voyager

that determines how much of the PEDAL/ON Mod Bus Source goes to the PEDAL/ON Mod

Bus Destination. With nothing plugged into the MOD1 jack, the voltage that’s present at the

MOD1 jack is +5V. When a CV is plugged in to the MOD1 input, that voltage replaces the +5

Volt signal at the MOD1Input. The Voltage that appears at the MOD1 Input is duplicated at the

MOD1 output.

MOD2: This is the CV generated from the MOD2 input. The MOD2 Input is a CV input on the

Voyager that is an external modulation source for the Mod Busses. With nothing plugged into

the MOD2 jack, the voltage that’s present at the MOD2 jack is +5V. When a CV is plugged

in to the MOD2 input, that voltage replaces the +5 Volt signal at the MOD2 Input. The Voltage

that appears at the MOD2 Input is duplicated at the MOD2 output.
