>so do i understand correctly that the voyager is really a viable substitute 
for the mini?

  I have been "researching" Minimoogs for many years; my website (currently 
neglected due to a book project) will detail many of the changes to Mini's 
over the years. There are probably AT LEAST 30 different "original" Minimoogs 
out there! In which case, I would say the Voyager IS a "viable substitute". 
Especially better for performers and programmers. These are also the realm in 
which the Andromeda EXCELS. It is FUN to play as a musician and lose YEARS 
time just fiddling with sounds!

***  Interesting (I hope) anecdote. I was talking to Bob Moog one day about 
how much I love the original Minimoog. I said "It only does a few things, but 
it does them so well. I like its limitation". He said - When we released it, 
they said keyboard players won't get it - they were the nontechnical guys in 
the band. They hauled around a simple Rhodes and a Hammond, no pedals, no 
tricky amp rigs.

Things have changed! Look at your Andromeda!
