Messenger is a next-generation monophonic analog keyboard synthesizer from Moog.Packed full of innovative twists on beloved circuits, it blends the iconic Moog sound with flexible, modern features for todays aspiring and professional musicians, producers, and sound designers.

Delivering massive sound in a compact package, Messenger features two oscillators with wave folding 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.

Equally suited for crafting soaring leads, delicate textures, and deep, rumbling basses, Messenger is a dynamic and approachable creative tool ready for the stage or studio.

TIMELESS ANDINTUITIVE
Messenger builds on the DNA of Moogs most iconic and prolific mono synthsMinimoog Model D, Voyager, Grandmother,Subsequent 37and puts a new spin on a familiar format with innovative circuits andtimeless analog sound.

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

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

SOUND DESIGN ANDMODULATION PLAYGROUND
Two loopable ADSR envelopes, two LFOs, and expanded frequencyand audio rate modulation optionsvia Oscillator 2 provide a wealth of modulation options and deeperassignable possibilities.

INSPIRATIONAT 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 readyto bring to your next gig.

COMPREHENSIVECONNECTIVITY
Messenger integrates seamlessly into any studio or live setup with six analog controlvoltage (CV) patch points, an external audio input to the filter, expression andsustain pedal inputs, and 5-pin DIN MIDI In/Out as well as MIDI over USB-C.
