I'm keeping mine. Way better than selling it for peanutz. It was too expensive to let it go for half price.

Dear Kevin, Martin and to all the others who want to sell their "loved-ones".

Once upon a time you went for it, you wanted to have the thing and now selling it ?

.... Why ???

Is it the money you might need, is it that you don't like the sound of it ?
Do you need more space for other things you might want to have and wil be selling too, again ?

Sell it and within the year you regret what you did and will try to get another one.

the main reason for me to consider selling it:

- too much time spent dealing with the why's and how's in regards to technical issues and problems and repairs in comparison with the time spent actually enjoying the unit
- too many features i don't need or use (touchscreen, potmapping)
- too many peripherals necessary to maintain it (manual is utterly useless; without these forums, i would have been lost in space), need breakoutbox, a pc for updates, expensive midi-usb cable, software for transferring OS. i am oldskool, not into computers. so yuck that.
- overall, fun-wise (i mean by sheer playability) not quite as inspiring as my fantom xa which has meshuggene sitar sounds that turns me into a guru in a heartbeat, sampling, an arpeggiator, funky drums, cool sounding oscillators and all sorts of fun stuff, or even my ex-rogue which blasted me into mars orbit. i am amazed i'd say this, but that's how i feel. yeah, the voyager isn't *fun*. it's like a chrushtchev. i want a seinfeld.

on the plus side, and this is the reason i am keeping it:
- the sound is beautiful

if you think you'd have to sell it for half price, that hurts.

if moog would bring us a smaller synth i'd probably want it. but i'd wait until the initial bugs are ironed out.

Reason for sale: Divorce

Moving from LARGE house with dedicated music room to tiny studio flat.

Need to be brutally practical - my fully loaded Triton Pro X gives me all the basics that I need in order to express my creativity via electronic sound creation/synthesis.

Anyway, a keyboard is a luxury to someone who 'got into this' at the age of 6 by jamming a fork into the guts of a Mullard transistorised radio to see what sounds could be coaxed out of it.

How dare you say those things about the Voyager! Just kidding, I honestly don't find the Voya as fun as playing with my Cwejman S1 Mk2. Yea, I can't save my patches, but I don't have to worry about OS updates. I don't even have to use the onboard Midi/CV converter. And it's fun patching those cables.

And sorry to hear of your split KB.
