Messenger: A Next-Generation Monophonic Analog Synthesiser from Moog
Messenger is Moogs latest innovation in monophonic analog keyboard synthesizers, fusing classic analog circuitry with forward-thinking features. Designed for modern musicians, producers, and sound designers, it delivers the iconic Moog character with a contemporary edge.
Compact yet powerful, Messenger features dual oscillators with wavefolding, a sub-oscillator with continuously morphable waveshapes, two looping ADSR envelopes, and a 32-key semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and aftertouch. At its core lies an enhanced version of the legendary Moog ladder filter, offering multimode functionality, resonance bass compensation, and variable filter slopes.
Whether you're sculpting soaring leads, ambient textures, or thunderous basslines, Messenger is a versatile creative instrument suited for both studio sessions and live performances.
The Full-Featured Moog Monosynth: Intuitive, Timeless, Evolved
Messenger carries the lineage of Moogs most revered monosynthslike the Minimoog Model D, Voyager, Grandmother, and Subsequent 37and reimagines the format with modern circuitry and classic analog warmth.
A Classic, Reinvented
For the first time in a Moog instrument, the renowned ladder filter includes selectable high-pass and band-pass modes alongside a novel RES BASS switch, which lets users choose between the traditional ladder response or a low-end-preserving mode when resonance is increased.
Designed for Instant Inspiration
Equipped with 32 full-size semi-weighted keys with aftertouch and velocity, a rugged metal chassis, 256 preset slots, and a knob-per-function interface, Messenger is built for expressive performance and immediate creative flow.
A Sequencing and Composition Powerhouse
Easily craft and store sequences up to 64 steps, integrate probability and randomness, and automate parameter changes for dynamic soundscapes. A versatile arpeggiator opens endless melodic possibilities.
A Playground for Modulation and Sound Design
Explore deep modulation capabilities with dual looping ADSR envelopes, two LFOs, and audio-rate modulation via Oscillator 2offering expanded sonic flexibility and creative potential.
Built to Connect
Messenger fits seamlessly into any setup, offering six CV patch points, an external audio input, sustain and expression pedal jacks, and full MIDI implementation via 5-pin DIN and USB-C.
