Description
The Moog Messenger is a monophonic analog synthesizer designed for musicians and producers seeking the classic Moog sound with modern flexibility. Featuring two variable waveshape voltage-controlled oscillators a shapable sub oscillator and Moogs renowned transistor ladder filter with multi-mode resonance compensation the Messenger delivers powerful bass soaring leads and rich analog textures. With 32 semi-weighted keys velocity sensitivity and aftertouch it offers a highly expressive playing experience. The built-in 64-step sequencer arpeggiator and 256 patch slots provide extensive creative control. MIDI USB-C CV/Gate and analog clock connections ensure seamless integration into any setup from home studios to professional touring rigs. Compact lightweight and deeply musical the Moog Messenger brings legendary synthesis into a new era of accessibility and performance. Classic Moog sound with enhanced flexibility The Moog Messenger delivers the unmistakable warmth and character of analog synthesis powered by two voltage-controlled oscillators and a shapable sub-oscillator. With wavefolding capabilities and continuously variable waveshapes these oscillators allow for dynamic timbral exploration from deep growling bass to bright harmonic-rich leads. The Messenger’s Moog transistor ladder filter has been refined with multi-mode selection and resonance compensation ensuring thick full-bodied tones across low-pass band-pass and high-pass settings. Whether dialling in smooth sweeps resonant peaks or aggressive filter modulations the Messenger provides unparalleled control over sound shaping. Expressive and performance-ready Designed for musicians who demand responsiveness the Messenger features a 32-key semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and aftertouch. This allows players to infuse their performances with subtle dynamic expression adding depth to filter sweeps modulation and articulation. For hands-on control the Messenger includes pitch bend and modulation wheels making it easy to shape sounds in real-time. Its intuitive layout ensures effortless navigation perfect for both live performance and studio production. Extensive sequencing and sound design capabilities With 256 user-patch slots and a built-in 64-step sequencer the Messenger provides deep programmability. Each patch can store its own sequence enabling quick recall of complex melodic patterns and rhythmic modulations. The onboard arpeggiator further expands creative potential transforming simple notes into evolving musical phrases. For additional modulation the Messenger includes two loopable ADSR envelopes and two LFOs with selectable waveforms. These tools allow for intricate shaping of amplitude pitch and filter movement making it an incredibly versatile synthesizer for sound design. Seamless integration with modern and vintage setups The Messenger is equipped with MIDI In/Out USB-C and six CV/Gate connections providing compatibility with both digital and analog gear. Analog Clock In/Out ensures tight synchronization with modular setups while pedal inputs for sustain and expression allow for even greater real-time control. Featuring both a 6.5mm main output and a dedicated headphone output the Messenger is ready for any performance or recording environment. Whether used in a home studio professional setup or live rig its connectivity options make it an adaptable and future-proof instrument.
