"The Moog Messenger is here—and it’s the most affordable Moog synth with a keyboard ever made. In this video, I walk you through everything you need to know: the analog wavefolder, looping envelopes, modulation matrix, built-in sequencer, Res Bass feature, and more. I’ll show you how it sounds, how it works, and how it stacks up to other synths under $900. Whether you’re buying your first analog synth or just curious about Moog’s newest direction, this review has you covered."

"The new Moog Messenger upholds the brand's tradition in architecture, sound, and… price. At 849 euros, it’s hardly the most affordable monophonic synth on the market, but it’s an appealing choice for those seeking a Moog. It blends original Moog tradition with some newer features for a variety of sounds.

In the Messenger, you’ll find options like bass compensation when increasing resonance, wavefolding, continuously variable waveforms in the oscillators, FM between oscillators and to the multimode filter, a sub-oscillator that stands out with its variable waveform (almost a third oscillator), looping envelopes… With presets, a sequencer, and an arpeggiator, but without effects or polyphony, it left us particularly impressed with its robust and intuitive bass sound creation and transformation.

Wisely, Moog only teased partial details of the new Messenger two days before Superbooth 2025 kicked off, drawing a big crowd to their booth. Eight units were available to try in Berlin, where we got to showcase it. What do you think?

"Seclude yourself and let the music sweep you away. Seek to become newly aware of yourself, the world of nature around you, the people near you. And If you feel it, express yourself.

Introducing Sirin: Analog Messenger of Joy, a new instrument for creative expression that oscillates in the higher octaves of experience.

Sirin is a limited-edition synthesizer module created in celebration of the Moog House of Electronicus and based on the legendary Moog Taurus sound engine. Presented in the familiar compact form of the Moog Minitaur, Sirin is the first instrument in Moog’s Taurus family of bass synthesizers designed to generate pitches far above middle C, with an extended frequency range that reaches notes up to D8.

In this video, Nick Sanborn (Sylvan Esso, Made Of Oak) explores the power of sound using Sirin and DFAM analog synthesizers. Sanborn weaves multiplexed patterns of sound waves--translating the thoughts and feelings of the collective individual into a shared musical experience.

With the exception of the DFAM’s percussive analog backbeat, all sounds in this video came from Sirin. Nick Sanborn uses the free downloadable Sirin Editor Librarian software to automate and recall parameter settings as he layers multiple monophonic tracks from Sirin.

A limited production run of 2500 Sirin will be produced by the employee-owners at the Moog Factory in Asheville, NC--after which no more will be available. Sirin is available for order right now at www.mooghouseofelectronicus.com (US Only--For international orders, please reach out to the Authorized Moog Distributor in your region)."

"Messenger is Moog’s latest analogue monosynth, filling a hole left in the company’s lineup left after the Subsequent 25 was discontinued earlier this year.

Despite a simple, understated look, Messenger is a deceptively complex monosynth with a sound that more than lives up to Moog’s sonic heritage. But it enters a competitive monosynth market with a price well above some competitively equipped instruments.

Does Messenger have enough to say to justify its price tag? We explore its capabilities to find out…"

"Quick acid test with the Moog Messenger.

You couldn’t achieve this sound without the Res Bass as the bass is lost when you increase the Resonance so a big thank you Moog for adding this!"

"Inspired by the announcement of the new Moog Messenger, I set out to craft a track using my Teenage Engineering OP-XY, built entirely from Moog synthesizer samples.
Analog soul meets digital precision — warm, vintage tones reimagined through a cutting-edge portable synth.

This entire piece was composed on a moving train, using the Obscura 76 sound pack — a collection packed with dark textures, retro character, and the unmistakable vibe of classic Moog gears.
The result is a cinematic, introspective soundscape that blends ambient music, experimental electronica, and the freedom of mobile music production.

🎧 Best experienced with headphones."

"Moog's Sirin Analog Messenger of Joy synth is based on the sound engine of the legendary Moog Taurus—the foot pedal-operated synthesizer first released in 1973 and re-fashioned for the limited run Taurus III in 2010. But Moog's latest creation takes the deep low-frequency tones of its stellar predecessors as its start, and then continues to climb...take a look."

Yep... Don't shoot the messenger.

via nickb2009 on this VSE post:

"We believe this may be a candidate for the worst use of a Moog Modular V "softsynth" and possibly violates Arturia's Terms & Conditions on the proper use of their software.

But imagine the scene, it's December 25th 1968 and Wendy Carlos has dropped in at Bob Moog's house with her latest album 'Switched On Christmas'." [link to blasphemy - enter at your own risk]
