"My notes unedited:
----Probably cant change----
Lfo mode / pitch decouple on osc 2 would be goated
Mod wheel as a mod source(expression source with nothing in the jack?)
Pitch wheel as a mod source
Lfo 2 as an signable mod source
Gate prob should work on the arp page as well
Maybe note prob as well, but thats mostly covered by arp modes
Ratchets would've been a huge buff to the sequencer

----Probably could change----
F env mod to osc wave is almost a useless range
Velocity curves could use a tweak, maybe that's preference
Any modulation to pitch, (i feel) needs a more generous taper for low amounts
Noise can get way too loud.. Am I crazy?
Pressing 1-16 in note prob should do something clear that note? Deactivate it?"

Moog Messenger Presets for Ambient, Electronica and Techno: Caterpillar Sound Pack (Demo)

"In this video, we're exploring the Moog Messenger — a compact, all-analog monophonic synth that brings a modern, expressive twist to the classic Moog sound. With two variable-waveshape oscillators (including wavefolding, sync, and FM), a sub-oscillator, and noise generator, it covers everything from fat, vintage basses to sharp, experimental textures.

"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."

Muse | Moog Influence on Matt Johnson of Jamiroquai's New Solo Album | Jazz Cafe London

video upload by Moog Music

"Join ‪@MattJohnsonskeyspace‬, the eclectic, funk-driven keyboardist of Jamiroquai, at the Jazz Cafe in London as he dives into the Moog instruments that helped shape his upcoming solo album.

For Matt, the Muse is more than a synth, it’s an instrument that talks back. With deep modulation possibilities and an assignable macro knob for expressive, on-the-fly control, Muse lets him program in advance and still play with complete spontaneity.

Alongside Muse, Matt’s Moog collection includes Messenger, his original Minimoog, the Moog One, and the Voyager — each adding its own character to his signature sound.

We love being a part of this musical journey."

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."

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 -"

"Watch ‪@mylarmelodies‬ bring Messenger to life with a fully stacked Moog semi-modular ecosystem in this live improvisation captured at this year's Superbooth show in Berlin.

Blending expressive analog tones with modular precision, this set highlights Messenger’s dynamic ability to draw out deep and delicate textures from DFAM, Mother-32, Subharmonicon, and Labyrinth. From evolving sequences to sweeping filter movements and modulations, the performance showcases the instrument’s potential for both nuance and power."

Moog Messenger Synthesizer Chiptune Duophonic No external Software needed

video upload by James Dyson

"A quick video showcasing the Parameter Sequencing you can do with Moog Messenger.
Tuning which ever steps you want differently to get Duophonic sound then on free Steps adding Filter/FM/Noise to suit. Pre plan what you want before hand as there is only 1 Parameter which can be changed per Step.
Hope someone finds this interesting and of use, if so I may do more of 'these' types of videos.
Cheers James Dyson/JD Soundsets"

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…"
