In November 2001, Moog Music (then Big Briar) announced that they 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 company offered a new synthesizer to the customer who could come up with a name for the project.
 Early in 2002, they announced that the synthesizer would be named the "Minimoog Voyager".

Late in the summer of 2002, Moog Music began shipping the new Voyagers.
 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.
 Recent software versions allow complex internal patching of control voltages, a very powerful and convenient feature for the user.
 Also available is the VX-351 Voyager Expander, an external box that is wired to the Voyager featuring 25 control-voltage outputs for physical CV patching.

Recent versions of the Voyager software expand the original 128-patch memory to 896 patches by implementing seven selectable banks, A to G, with 128 patches each.
  The current model (2007) has most of the patches pre-programmed in groups corresponding to earlier software releases.

In September 2015, Moog Music announced that after 13 years of production and over 14,000 units sold, sales of the Voyager would be discontinued.
