Moog Messenger Monophonic Analog Synthesizer

Full Description

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.
