Messenger is a next-generation monophonic analog keyboard synthesizer from Moog. Packed full of innovative twists on beloved circuits, it blends the iconic Moog sound with flexible, modern features for today's aspiring and professional musicians, producers, and sound designers. Delivering massive sound in a compact package, Messenger features two oscillators with wavefolding functionality, a sub-oscillator with continuously variable waveshapes, dual looping ADSR envelopes, 32 semi-weighted full-size keys with velocity and aftertouch, and the legendary Moog ladder filter augmented with resonance bass compensation, multiple filter slopes and true multimode functionality. Equally suited for crafting soaring leads, delicate textures and deep, rumbling basses, Messenger is a dynamic and approachable creative tool ready for the stage or studio. 32 semi-weighted full-size keys with velocity and aftertouch for responsive feel and dynamic control Two continuously variable-shape VCOs and unique hybrid wavefolders, sync and FM capabilities Sub-oscillator with continuously variable waveshape for added bass weight White noise generator for interesting texture and depth Moog transistor ladder filter with unique pole-mixing design for 4-pole low pass, 2-pole low pass, band pass and high pass responses Resonance control with resonance bass compensation switch to preserve and punctuate low end External input to filter, feedback and VCO FM of filter cutoff for expanded audio processing Dual loopable ADSR envelopes with velocity responsiveness and multi-triggering Variable shape LFO1 with sync, reset and independent modulation bus for pulse-width modulation, dynamic wavefolding, filter FM and more Triangle-wave LFO2 tied to MOD wheel and routable to multiple destinations Pitch wheel, octave transpose and variable response glide 256 preset locations with 240 factory presets organized into 16 categorized banks Save up to 256 sequences of up to 64 steps each and add probabilistic generative behavior and parameter recording Unique configurable arpeggiator with multiple pattern modes and rhythmic programming   Timeless and intuitive Messenger builds on the DNA of Moog's most iconic and prolific monosynths – Minimoog Model D, Voyager, Grandmother, Subsequent 37 – and puts a new spin on a familiar format with innovative circuits and timeless analog sound. A legend reborn In a first for Moog, Messenger features a twist on the legendary ladder filter. In addition to high pass and band pass responses, it will toggle between preserving low end when resonance is increased or the traditional low pass ladder filter response via the RES BASS switch. Inspiration at your fingertips 32 full-size semi-weighted keys with velocity and aftertouch, a robust metal panel, 256 presets and knob-per-function controls mean Messenger is endlessly playable and ready to bring to your next gig. Compositional powerhouse Effortlessly record sequences of up to 64 steps, integrate chance operations and introduce random fluctuations and parameter recording. Experiment with a plethora of arpeggiator patterns and cascade notes into infinity. Sound design and modulation playground Two loopable ADSR envelopes, two LFOs and expanded frequency and audio rate options provide a wealth of modulation sources and deeper assignable possibilities. Comprehensive connectivity Messenger integrates seamlessly into any studio or live setup with six analog control voltage patch points, an external audio input to the filter, expression and sustain pedal inputs and 5-pin DIN MIDI in/out as well as MIDI over USB-C.
