The filter is obvious so I didn’t even want to have that in the equation. I wanted to look at the raw building blocks, the oscillator waveforms. These are my results.
FYI – Download the uncompressed .wavs for proper comparison.

The original test has the  filters set to wide open on both synths. I don’t think the original ever fully takes the filter out of the picture.  So with some further knob twiddling I have found if you add a little resonance  on  the voyager the wave shapes get pretty damn close.  I’m thinking the voyager just has a wider filter range.
