"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?

MAGNOLIA, one of the HIGHLIGHTS of Superbooth

"We went inside the Frap Tools booth at the Berlin Superbooth to explore the Magnolia, a polyphonic synthesizer that has caught everyone's attention.

Magnolia stands out for its unique architecture, with two oscillators that break with convention: a through-zero oscillator that allows analog linear FM, evoking the classic timbres of Yamaha's FM synthesizers, but in a 100% analog format. It also features a more traditional oscillator with octave controls, variable waveform and a wave folder to add richness and timbral complexity. Want metallic sounds or subtractive textures? Magnolia dares to do both.

This synth also impresses with its polyphony and bithermality, allowing everything from dense sounds in dual mode to splits and morphing between presets. Each voice features two independent filters (low pass and high pass), extensive modulations with synchronizable LFOs, dedicated envelopes and an effects stage that includes analog distortion and digital slots for delays and modulations (still under development), as well as a built-in sequencer and expressive controls such as aftertouch, expression pedals and modulatable panning.

In this video you will hear sound demos that show the versatility of the Magnolia, from expansive stereo leads to vibrant textures with delayed vibrato. We also tell you details about its release, scheduled for late 2025 at an estimated price of 3995 €.

Korg Berlin Phase 8 Finally Ready For Production | Superbooth 2025


video upload by Thomann Synthesizers

"At Superbooth 2025, Korg Berlin unveiled the finalized design of the Phase8, an innovative electro-acoustic synthesizer that merges mechanical sound generation with electronic control. This instrument features eight independent electromechanical voices, each utilizing a tunable metal resonator struck by an electromagnetic actuator, allowing for dynamic and expressive sound creation.

The Phase8 offers advanced sound-shaping capabilities, including envelope control, waveshaping, tremolo, and audio modulation. A built-in sequencer with polyrhythmic capabilities enables complex rhythmic patterns and evolving sequences. Connectivity options include MIDI in/out (via mini jacks), CV input, sync in/out, USB, and a single audio output, ensuring compatibility with various setups"
