A new method of sonic experimentation, communication, and connection has arrived. Say hello to Messenger, a next-generation analog synthesizer that celebrates classic Moog circuitry and introduces modern features to shape the future of sound design.

Messenger is a new Moog monophonic analog keyboard synthesiser designed for the electronic musicians, producers, sound designers, sonic tinkerers, and analog dreamers of today and tomorrow. Engineered to open new portals of art and expression through sound, the instrument is ready to be a trusted creative companion for any musical genre or style at any point in your synthesis journey.

If you're new to synthesis, welcome. You're exactly where you need to be. Messenger's intuitive layout with clearly labeled controls invites immediate hands-on exploration and encourages a deeper understanding of how to shape and sculpt sound. For experienced synthesists and sound designers, Messenger is packed full of innovative twists on beloved analog circuitry, blending the iconic, raw Moog sound with flexible, modern features designed for use on stage or in the studio. This synthesiser has two oscillators with wavefolding functionality, a sub-oscillator with continuously variable waveshapes, dual looping ADSR envelopes, 32 semi-weighted full-size keys with velocity and aftertouch, and the legendary Moog ladder filter augmented with resonance bass compensation, multiple filter slopes, and true multimode functionality. Messenger's 256 on-board presets allow for immediate saving and recall of your favorite sounds. An intuitive arpeggiator and expression / sustain pedal inputs make this an indispensable live tool, while its unique sequencer with probabilistic controls and modular connectivity set Messenger up to be at the core of your studio or home setup.

Craft soaring leads and deep, rumbling basses. Create delicately textured pads and flowing arpeggios. Build beats with custom kicks, snares, and toms. Explore dense drones and inharmonic metallics. Pay attention to how these sounds impact the way you hear the world around you.

Timeless and Intuitive: Messenger builds on the DNA of Moog's most iconic and prolific monosynths - Minimoog Model D, Voyager, Grandmother, Subsequent 37 - and puts a new spin on a familiar format with innovative circuits and timeless analog sound.

A Legend Reborn: The legendary Moog transistor ladder filter gets some new tricks up its sleeve. A unique pole-mixing design allows the ladder filter to preserve bass frequencies as resonance is increased via the RES BASS switch while keeping its sonic legacy intact. Low-pass mode adds a 2-pole filter slope in addition to the classic Moog 4-pole low-pass filter slope.

Inspiration at Your Fingertips: 32 full-size semi-weighted keys with velocity and aftertouch, a robust metal panel, 256 presets, and knob-per-function controls mean Messenger is endlessly playable and ready to bring to your next gig.

Compositional Powerhouse: Effortlessly record sequences of up to 64 steps, integrate chance operations, and introduce random fluctuations and parameter recording. Experiment with a plethora of arpeggiator patterns and cascade notes into infinity.

Sound Design and Modulation Playground: Two loopable ADSR envelopes, two LFOs, and expanded frequency and audio rate modulation options via Oscillator 2 provide a wealth of modulation options and deeper assignable possibilities.

Comprehensive Connectivity: Messenger integrates seamlessly into any studio or live setup with six analog control voltage (CV) patch points, an external audio input to the filter, expression and sustain pedal inputs, and 5-pin DIN MIDI in / out as well as MIDI over USB-C.
