That is some pretty strange product development, if you ask me....

It kind of makes me wonder if they are afraid to innovate- this Voyager XL seems to be basically a cobbled-together Voyager with CP-251 and XV-351 boxes, a 5 oct keyboard, and a ribbon. Buy all of that together and you would come in at about $1500 less and have essentially the same thing.
I would think that using the Little Phatty (gawd, I despise that name....!) technology to come up with an analog polysynth would be something more people would be interested in.

Well to be honest, this is a weird design. Somehow it doesn't quite look right to me.
I already have a Select Series Voyager, the CP-251 and VX-351 and I am very happy. I don't see how 1500 dollars extra cost can be justified for the Voyager XL. You get 1,5 octaves more, more wood and a couple of things here and there (like more waveforms for the LFO).

Now that's too bad, if anything if I had to do it all over again I would have started with the Voyager OS, I played one at NAMM and enjoyed the immediacy of it that I hadn't experienced since I sold my MiniMoog D back in '82. As it stands, I still have my 2003 Performer after selling off pretty much everything else.

If you want "real analog" (which does have its place of course!)
For that much you could get a nice synthesizers.com modular, and be able to do a lot more with it. and buy(or build) lots of other cool modules as needed.
oh but its not moog!
