One of The Best Sounding Analog Polysynths of All Time
The Voyetra Eight is a rare, polyphonic 8 voice analog rack synth developed in New York in the early 80s that many people regard as one of the best sounding analog synthesizers ever built. Not even the Jupiters can compete with this thing in terms of sound. The patches are huge - wide open, and lush, with thick bass, juicy resonance, unique DC source modulation (which makes it sound like the circuits are dying in the most beautiful fashion), linear FM and classic sync. 

It's been used by people like New Order, the Eurythmics, Neon Indian and Dennis Ferrer

    Voyetra was a company that was a precursor to Cake. We used the first Voyetra and then Turtle Beach sequencer/digital recorder program when we started up.

    I did not know they were a precursor to Cakewalk!

    By that I mean they were into digital recording and editing before Cake existed.

    I remember Voyetra, too, I think I had a product of theirs, before Cake, after which the rest is history....

    I used Voyetra's Sequencer Plus Gold. First sync'd to a Tascam 80-8, then later to Alesis ADATs.
     
    In fact I still have the installation files and ran it under XP to get some MIDI exported.
