The Minimoog Voyager or Voyager is a monophonic analog synthesizer, designed by Robert Moog and released in 2002 by Moog Music. The Voyager was modeled after the classic Minimoog synthesizer that was popular in the 1970s, and is meant to be a successor to that instrument. In an interview in 1998, Moog Music (then Big Briar) founder Robert (Bob) Moog announced that he planned to release an updated version of the Minimoog. The new synthesizer promised to have modern features, yet continue to be authentic to the original sound quality. The development process took several years, with a non-working concept model first shown to the public at the 2000 NAMM Show and garnering significant interest. The company offered a new synthesizer to the customer who came up with a name for the project. The Minimoog Voyager was officially released in 2002, and over its product lifetime shipped well over 14,000 units, slightly surpassing the sales figures of the original Minimoog. Late in the summer of 2002, Moog Music began shipping the new Voyagers. Over its product lifespan from 2002 to 2015, many variants were shipped, with a variety of cosmetic options including backlit front panels and wheels, custom cabinet woods and finishes, and custom-colored switches and other hardware (see below). Occasionally a new system software release is made available, which can be downloaded from Moog Music's website and sent to the Voyager via MIDI.
