"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."

Moog Messenger demo @ Superbooth

video upload by Hispasonic

Click CC for subtitles.

"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?

Introducing Moog Sirin | Analog Messenger of Joy

Published on Jan 24, 2019 Moog Music Inc

"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)."

It’s great… but is it worth two Bass Stations?: Moog Messenger review

video upload by MusicRadar Tech

"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…"

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!"

Luke Million Studio Tour Update July 2025

video upload by Luke Million

"Following the Studio Tour Video I made last November, here is an update with recent acquisitions and changes to my workflow in my Studio.

Some highlights are the Moog Messenger, Arturia DrumBrute Impact 1984 Edition, Synido TempoPAD C16, Aly James Lab Vprom 3.0, Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro, Modartt Pianoteq 8 and some Franklin Audio Devices.

The biggest change is in my 2nd Studio where the B Team is kept. I have connected those synths to a Franklin Audio SS-6 Switchable Input Stereo DI which then sends audio to my Universal Audio Volt 476 interface connected to a Macbook Pro Laptop.

You can view the original Studio Tour Video here -"

A Nice Song for Summer

video upload by Hologram Electronics

"What can you create with just a monophonic synth, a guitar, and some Hologram effects pedals?

This track is an exploration of that question — a study in restraint, sound design, and the textures that emerge when you limit your tools and lean into the process. The core instruments here are the Moog Messenger, an electric guitar, and carefully chosen chains of effects.

Every element in this track — aside from the recorded acoustic drums in the first half of the medley — passed through Chroma Console, shaping and coloring the sound along the way, from subtle crunch and stereo widening to melting delays and cavernous reverb."
