"We went deep on the Moog Messenger, the latest affordable monophonic analog synth from Moog Music. Lachy takes it for a spin—exploring the huge sounds, flexible CV/midi options, lush filters, and the sequencer/arpeggiator that takes inspiration from the Moog Muse. Whether you're making basslines, modular jams or experimental sequences, this thing delivers.

"In this artist spotlight, @HarveySutherland puts the new Moog Messenger to work, first in his studio, then inside the iconic SynthTemple.

From classic filter sweeps to real-time modulation, motion sequencing, and CV/gate control over iconic modular gear, the Messenger proves itself as an intuitive, expressive synth built for modern musicians.

🎛️ Features explored:
• New take on Moog's classic ladder filter & analog tone
• Creative sequencer with parameter locks
• CV/gate out to modular system
• Compact, portable design with full-size keys and after-touch

Shot across two sessions, this video captures the musicality, immediacy, and performance potential of the Messenger."

MOOG Messenger Sequencer, Arppegiator, & Spectravox Feedback

video uploads by Moog Music

Playlist:

1. Messenger | Sequencer Functionality

Messenger features a deep generative sequencer with functionality inspired by Muse. With features like Note Pool paired with Note Probability, Gate probability, and the ability to store a unique sequence per-patch, Messenger’s sequencer provides an intuitive way to build up complex melodic sequences that can spin off into new permutations at the touch of a button.

2. Messenger | Arppegiator Functionality

Messenger features an extremely flexible arpeggiator with functionality inspired by the arp found in Muse. With the ability to chose both traditional or newer advanced note movement patterns, program rhythms, and the option to store a unique arp style per-patch, Messenger’s arpeggiator is a powerful tool for music composition and developing new song ideas.

3. Messenger | Spectravox Feedback

In this video we look at how to use Spectravox and Messenger together to create feedback tones verging on the edge of destruction.

Spectravox is a flexible signal processor which adds lots of sonic character to any signal we patch into it. Using a basic sound from Messenger we can add distortion and saturation using Spectravox's pre-amp section as well as deep modulated phaser tones with its ten filters. Messenger's control voltage output allows us to control parameters of Spectravox (in this case the Spectral Shift LFO rate) using Messenger's keyboard. Later, we look at tying Spectravox and Messenger together in a feedback loop - patching the headphone output of Messenger to the Program input of Spectravox, the Program output of Spectravox to its Carrier Input, and then the output of Spectravox to the External Input of Messenger. With careful balance of the EXT IN/FB control and various parameters on both Spectravox and Messenger, a whole new world of gnarly and nonlinear feedback tones opens up.

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?

Exploring OXI ONE: Lazy Ambient Jam w. Moog Messenger, Vermona Perfourmer, Prophet 12 & Eventide

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"'Sunday Excursion' is a relaxed ambient jam built entirely around two sequences from the OXI ONE.
No composition. No arrangement. Just hands-on exploration and letting the hardware talk.

🔁 SEQUENCING

The OXI ONE runs two independent sequences:

Sequence 1 – Rhythm / Pulse
– Matriceal mode for controlled randomness
– Drives a Moog Messenger mono synth
– Acts as the rhythmic backbone of the piece

Signal chain:
Moog Messenger → Klark Teknik KT76 → Korg DL8000R → TC Electronic Fireworx

Sequence 2 – Melody / Texture
– Linear mono mode with probability-based notes
– Drives a Vermona Perfourmer in round-robin poly mode
– Each voice slightly different for subtle movement and width

FX:
Vermona Perfourmer → Eventide Eclipse

🎹 LIVE PLAYING

On top of the sequences, chords and textures are played live on a Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 12.
The patch is a slow, restrained pad with a simple overtone structure.

FX:
Prophet 12 → Eventide H9 (Blackhole)

This is not a 'track.'
It’s a documented session exploring how the OXI ONE interacts with a few quirky synths and late-90s / early-2000s rack FX.

If you’re into hardware sequencing, probability, and letting small variations do the work, you’ll probably find something useful here."

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…"
