Moog Messenger Monophonic Analogue Synthesizer

'iconic Moog sound and modern capabilities'Moog's Messenger is a cutting-edge monophonic analog synthesizer that reimagines classic circuits with modern innovation. Designed for musicians, producers, and sound designers, it merges the legendary Moog sound with flexible features tailored for today’s creative workflows.

Despite its compact size, Messenger delivers massive sonic depth, powered by two oscillators with wavefolding functionality and a sub-oscillator featuring continuously variable waveshapes. Its dual looping ADSR envelopes and 32 semi-weighted full-size keys with velocity and aftertouch provide expressive control, while the iconic Moog ladder filter—enhanced with resonance bass compensation, multiple filter slopes, and true multimode functionality—ensures rich, dynamic tone shaping.

Perfect for crafting soaring leads, atmospheric textures, and deep, rumbling bass, Messenger is a versatile and intuitive instrument built for both stage and studio performance.

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 RebornIn a first for Moog, Messenger features a twist on the legendary ladder filter which, in addition to high-pass and band-pass responses, will toggle between preserving low end when resonance is increased or the traditional low-pass ladder filter response via the RES BASS switch.

Inspiration at Your Fingertips32 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 PowerhouseEffortlessly 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 PlaygroundTwo 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 ConnectivityMessenger 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.
