Under the Desk Sequencing Sessions - Episode 1

video upload by Alba Ecstasy

With the Moog Messenger.

"As the title suggests, Under the Desk Sequencing Sessions is intended to be a series of live recording sessions, directly on the floor, under my mixing desk!
I mean... half of the gear will be under the desk! I can't fit in there!
I will use minimal gear and most of the episodes will be just sequences. Or not. Why?
Why not!
Bust mostly because it is comfortable and reminds me of the days when I didn't had proper stands and a desk! Simple times!

Enjoy them!

Bad Gear - Santa Says NO!!!

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools.The best Christmas presents are the ones you buy for yourself - especially when you’re a synth nerd.

Speaking of which, today we are going to talk about Moog Messenger. This 2025 analog mono is a prime candidate for shameless self-gifting: Gucci-like brand identity that reminds you of simpler times, a price tag that hurts just right and features that help you convince yourself that the Moogs you already own are not enough.

But believe me: Santa says NO!!!

Ty Dolla $ign | Find Your Sound | Moog Muse & Messenger

video upload by Moog Music

"When Ty Dolla $ign walks into the studio, anything can happen.

Before trends or templates, Ty explains that Moog synthesizers were the sound behind the records that shaped him — and the instruments he dreamed of finding underneath the Christmas tree.

For Ty, finding your sound isn’t about chasing something new. It’s about spending time with the tools that speak to you, learning them deeply, and allowing your own voice to emerge. It’s a process rooted in curiosity, patience, and the belief that when you listen closely enough, the message becomes clear."

"Christmas Card 6" featuring NI Una Corda, Moog Messenger, OB6, Take 5, OB-X8

video upload by Tim Grogan

"I started doing these musical Christmas Cards because I was inspired to create something different from the old classic Christmas tunes. I prefer to hear/visualize a wintry scene and to try to encapsulate the wonder of what Christmas felt like when I was a kid and I think the instrumental form keeps it a bit more open to interpretation. I found it to be a really satisfying way to focus on that feeling and write and it felt good to offer an alternative. Here's Christmas Card 6, in the spirit of that."

Moog SPECTRAVOX - Part 1 - The Synth Within It?

video upload by Alba Ecstasy

"Without reading the user manual, I hooked up the Moog Spectravox to the Moog Messenger (cv, gate and clock) to see what can I get.
The result speaks for itself, but I'll comeback for more, since I know it can do a lot more!"

"And please, lower your volume, Spectravox has a tremendous output! Any distortions you hear is because the recording looks like a brick! (I had the audio monitor lowered and everything seemed fine, until I saw the recording...)"

Moog Messenger - Ambient Sequence

video upload by Alba Ecstasy

"After a couple of 'unboxing' posts, I’ve been asked, by my friends, if it can sounds in my Berlin School style, or can make some ambient sounds.
So, here it is, on my second day with the Moog Mesenger, my sequencing style, PART ONE. I already made a few custom patches, (and updated it to the latest firmware - and now my volume knob works also for the main output! 0_o), so it’s gone rain with demos of it!

How does it feel? Like a Moog, of course: sturdy metal enclosure, no flimsy knobs, great keybed.
🎹 Want some ambient patches?! 👉 https://www.albaecstasy.ro

My opinion: grab one while the price is low, you won’t regret!
At least, Moog never drop in value!
Tell your wife, your girlfriend, your mother, that is an investment!"

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.

"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?"
