New Moog Muse Details

Some new details on the upcoming Moog Muse have been shared online and have been added to this post. They appear to be from a Norweigan shop, and appear to be legit, however, we won't know for sure until Moog officially announces the Muse, of course. Some slightly larger pics have been added there as well, however, they are still pretty blurry. They do, of course, give you the gist of it. Click here for the update.

A note on leaks: please note MATRIXSYNTH does respect embargos, and only shares what has already been leaked online as once the news is out, the news is out. This is a synth news site and synth leaks are news. Not keeping up-to-date would essentially make the site irellevant. If you are a manufacturer, my recommendation is to NOT release images or details to anyone, including shops, until you are ready to formally announce the product. The majority of leaks come from online shops that either fail to keep things private, or leak it on purpose to get pre-orders in ahead of others. This is one of the reasons I do not link to shops that leak gear, as it only encourages them.

Please note as a courtesy to sponsors and supporting members of the site, I will reach out if I do spot a leak, prior to posting. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out.

Update: some details shared online follow. It appears to be a translation from an online shop that had it listed with an MSRP of 47380 Kroner which currently comes to $4,384.62 USD. Note I have no way of verifying the price or the following is legit, so take it all with a grain of salt. Also all but the 1st pic have been updated with slightly larger versions, but they are still pretty blurry.

That said, here's the info shared elsewhere online:

"Meet Muse, an eight-voice analog bi-timbral polyphonic synthesizer — the culmination of over 5 years of dreams, design, and passion. Muse is an intuitive and powerful instrument built on the rich history of Moog that simultaneously gazes boldly into the future. This studio or performance centerpiece is driven by eight analog voices, each with two VCOs, modulation VCO, dual VCFs, and a stereo VCA — all with that...

We've selected the very best of vintage Moog circuits to create Muse – inspired by Moog Voyager oscillators, MF-102 Ring Modulator, CP3 Mixer, 902 VCA module, and a 904A Filter. With 16 banks of 16 patches, you'll encounter beautiful pads, organic FM plucks, attention-grabbing leads, subterranean basses, stage-oriented key splits, as well as 2 banks reserved for your own sonic discoveries.

CP3-style saturating mixer per-voice with Ring Mod, Noise, and either clean or saturated mix; Dual discrete transistor ladder VCFs per-voice with switchable routing configurations; Stereo discrete transistor VCA per-voice per patch.

Dual discrete transistor ladder VCFs per-voice with switchable routing configurations; Stereo discrete transistor VCA per-voice based on the Moog 902 Module. Dual ADSR envelopes per-voice with variable curves, looping, velocity response, and assignable to any destination; Two LFOs with unique waveshapes, dedicated Pitch LFO, and 16 per-voice triggered Random Generators - all routed via 16 modulation slots per-timbre, per-patch

Bi-timbrality and Voice Control: two independent timbres per-patch can be stacked or split across the keyboard; Advanced arpeggiator with rhythmic programming, expanded patterns, and generative behavior; Chord Memory with programmable per-key chord shapes; 64-step sequencer with Clock Division, Transport controls, Sequence chaining, Step editing, Modulation capabilities, and memory capacity of 16 banks of 16 sequences...

61 key semi-weighted full size Fatar keybed with velocity and channel aftertouch.

Diffusion Delay™: a hypnotic stereo processor inspired by golden era vintage digital rack delays with a unique and powerful set of diffusion, multi-tap, and filter behaviors. Craft complex echoes and diffused tonal smears that add dimension and depth to any patch. In addition to Muse's creative immediacy, the powerful arpeggiator invites you to generate melodic ideas with compelling patterns and rhythms. With Muse's sequencer, you'll unravel unique patterns and gestures — further develop these discoveries with parameter recording, probabilistic editing, and much more; 16 banks of 16 patches for a total of 256 patch memory"

via this listing

"Vintage Minimoog Model D in good condition overall with a road case and manual. Ive had many Model D’s over the years and this one is a good one - strong filter and stable oscillators! It idles quietly and all functions work as they should. The cabinet does have lighter spots due to case interior foam rash over the years and said spots were lightly sanded by the previous owner. The bottom MDF panel is in very good condition with no off-putting flakey stuff going on which is a common occurrence with vintage Model D’s. The road case has new foam and both latches are fully functional. These are classic synths that are still being used in music today."

AN UNEXPECTED PATH FORWARD

Labyrinth introduces a classic West Coast sound into the Mother Ecosystem experience rich analog synthesizer history in both surprising and recognizable sonic textures. Two generative sequencers bring to life sounds that bloom over time, letting you control their evolution and scale, then play them off of each other for striking polymetric melodies.

With parallel analog signal paths, this adventurous instrument shines when adding color to the steady backdrop of a drum pattern or bassline.

GENERATIVE SEQUENCER
The beating heart of Labyrinth is a robust dual sequencer, which uses chance calculations to generate two unique eight-step paths which twist and curve around one another.

SONIC WANDERING
A parallel voice processing path with a voltage-controlled blending allows you to morph sounds over time.

VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED WAVEFOLDER
A fresh interpretation of the Moog sound via a voltage-controlled wavefolder. Two oscillators drive duophonic melodic counterpoints, metallic FM tones, and analog synthetic drums.

Moog's semi-modular lineup expands to include the Labyrinth, a generative synthesizer that brings you two parallel sequencers, two oscillators, and endless possibilities. Based around a core sine VCO and a triangle Mod VCO, these sound sources have independent level controls, as well as a Ring Mod and Noise level control that all feed a saturating mixer that can add a touch or grit. From the mixer, we have the switchable option to go into a voltage controllable wave folder then into a classic Moog filter, the opposite with our filter going into the wave folder, or have both of these run in parallel.

The heart of the Labyrinth is the sequencer section. A dual 8-step sequencer gives you interactive quantized melodies that can affect various parameters, based on the labeled trimmers. These sequencers send out both notes CV and triggers and with a Trig Mix you can get rhythmic interplay that is quite satisfying. Each sequencer has a Length settings and a Bit Shift when adjusts the position of activated steps. The Bit Flip and Corrupt parameters present gives you more randomness and serendipity allowing you to create evolving patterns.

As with all of their semi-modular synths, Moog gives you access to 32 patch point patchbay with 12 outputs and 20 inputs. This gives you the option to self-patch and integrate it into your existing Eurorack ecosystem. Moog's Labyrinth is the perfect expansion to your existing system or a great starting point as an entry to modular synthesis, especially for those who are looking to get expressive rhythmic patterns quickly.

How To Care For Your Pet Minimoog

video upload by foleytronics fx repair

"This could be your 1974 Mini, completely done up by us. It has a new walnut case, NOS Pratt Read keyboard, new knobs, plus a full recap and calibration. This unit has the coveted old oscillator board, which we lightly modified to improve tuning stability between octaves. This is my favorite Minimoog I’ve ever played, but it is sadly FOR SALE as you apparently cannot pay your mortgage with them or feed them to your children. If interested, drop us a line: peter@foleytronics.com

The Carousel is Tom’s, we modified it to have individual outputs for each instrument. It pairs nicely with Chris’s other AMS 15-80s. Yes, the Carousel is normally quite noisy.

Axel F : Theme From Beverly Hills Cop : Recreated on Vintage Synthesizers

video upload by Luke Million

"I'm revisiting one of my favourite movie themes of all time composed by Harold Faltermeyer with a full length cover of The Theme from Beverly Hills Cop - 'Axel F'.

In the original, Harold used a Jupiter 8, JX-3P, Moog Model 15 and DX7 paired with a Linndrum.

I have stayed close to the original but have incorporated some other of my favourite synthesizers to give it my own flare.

Synths used in order of appearance:

Roland Jupiter 8
Oberheim OB8
Moog Multimoog
Roland Jupiter 4
Sequential Prophet 5
Roland Juno 6
Yamaha DX7 Mark II
