Introducing Moog Messenger

Moog Messenger is a next-generation monophonic analog keyboard synthesizer that merges iconic analog warmth with forward-thinking design. Built for musicians, producers, and sound designers alike, Messenger brings a powerful, modern twist to beloved Moog circuitry, delivering an immersive and expressive experience in a compact, performance-ready package.

Powerful Oscillators and Iconic Filter Design

At the heart of Messenger are two oscillators with wavefolding functionality and a versatile sub-oscillator offering continuously variable waveshapes. The legendary Moog ladder filter returns in a reimagined form, now featuring multiple filter slopes, true multimode functionality—including low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass modes—and a unique RES BASS switch that allows users to preserve low-end presence even at high resonance settings.

Expressive Playability

Messenger’s 32 full-size, semi-weighted keys with velocity and aftertouch provide a dynamic and responsive playing experience. Whether you’re performing live or sculpting sounds in the studio, the keyboard’s tactile feel and expressive range make it a joy to play.

Modulation and Sound Design Flexibility

Equipped with dual looping ADSR envelopes and two LFOs, Messenger opens up a deep modulation playground. With audio-rate modulation via Oscillator 2 and a broad range of assignable routing options, users can craft anything from subtle textures to bold, evolving soundscapes.

A Compositional Powerhouse

Messenger doesn’t just sound amazing—it inspires composition. Users can record sequences of up to 64 steps with parameter automation, apply randomization and chance operations, and experiment with a wide variety of arpeggiator patterns. It’s a tool built to spark creativity and expand musical boundaries.

Hands-On Control and Preset Power

With a durable metal chassis and a knob-per-function interface, Messenger delivers immediate, intuitive control over every sound-shaping parameter. It includes 256 user preset slots, so you can quickly recall your favorite sounds on stage or in the studio.

Seamless Studio and Stage Integration

Messenger is designed for modern workflows, offering comprehensive connectivity to fit into any setup. It features six analog CV patch points, an external audio input routed through the filter, expression and sustain pedal inputs, traditional 5-pin DIN MIDI In/Out, and MIDI over USB-C—ensuring smooth integration into both hardware-based and DAW-centric environments.

A New Classic in the Making

Drawing from the legacy of iconic Moog instruments like the Minimoog Model D, Voyager, Grandmother, and Subsequent 37, Messenger redefines what a modern monosynth can be. It’s timeless yet innovative, approachable yet deep—ready to meet the needs of today’s creative minds and tomorrow’s musical pioneers.
