Moog Muse
Moog Muse
The Moog Muse synthesiser has arrived and brings fresh air to the world of analogue sound generation! With its purchase price the Muse certainly sits in the high-end class, but in return you get a lot with the 61-key synthesiser. This synth monster is perfect for anyone seeking an unparalleled sound and willing to go all in. With THAT control panel, though, this is certainly one of the easier challenges ;-)
The Muse is Moog's fourth polyphonic synthesiser and offers eight voices as well as a bi-timbral polyphonic architecture. It is the result of over five years of intensive development and passion. The synthesiser combines Moog's rich history with a bold step into the future.
Intuitive user interface
with one-knob-per-function!
What immediately catches the eye are the many buttons, toggle switches and knobs that recall the classic synthesisers of days gone by. This retro design awakens the mojo of yesteryear in producers and keyboard players and brings nostalgic feelings back into music production. It's not only a visual highlight but also a tactile experience. The intuitive user interface, designed according to the principle "one-knob-per-function" and featuring 44 rotary knobs, 16 faders and 129 buttons that offer endless possibilities for extensive hands-on experimentation, will boost your creative process.
Sound generation100% analogue!
The Moog Muse's sound generation is based on analogue technology and therefore offers VCOs, VCAs, VCFs and VCMs. With its three oscillators and a noise generator, one of which functions as a versatile modulation oscillator, the Muse opens up unforeseen possibilities for you. The modulation oscillator can be used as a modulation driver, assignable envelopes or a random generator and is routed via the 16 modulation slots per voice and patch. Two switchable VCFs (one switchable between high-pass and low-pass), two LFOs and an analogue ring modulator provide you with all the tools you need for creative sound design.
Oscillators & Ring Modulator
The analogue oscillators offer selectable triangle/sawtooth mixes, variable-width pulse waves, multiple octave settings, FM routing and amount as well as hard sync. An analogue ring modulator enables ring modulation between oscillators 1 and 2.
Modulation Oscillator
The modulation oscillator offers a selection of waveforms, an audio-range switch, keyboard tracking & reset, a unipolar switch and a variety of modulation options for pitch, filter, pulse width, VCA and panning.
Noise Generator & Mixer
An analogue noise generator and an analogue mixer with independent level control for the various oscillators, plus an overload control, round off the package.
Moog Transistor-Ladder Filter
The Muse uses a classic Moog transistor ladder filter. It offers switchable high-pass/low-pass modes, cutoff frequency, resonance and various routing options.
In addition, the Moog Muse has two envelopes which provide attack, decay, sustain and release with variable curves per stage as well as multi-trig and loop functions.
Diffusion Delay Effect
A morphable stereo processor, inspired by vintage digital rack delays of the '80s, delivers unique timbral changes with left and right delay times, feedback, character and mix controls, plus an analogue bypass switch, giving your sound a distinctive flavour.
Additional features:
Arpeggiator, Step Sequencer & Voice Control
Also on board are an arpeggiator and a 64-step sequencer. They provide additional creative possibilities, with the sequencer offering extensive modulation capabilities and storage capacity for 16 banks with 16 sequences.
The programmer allows easy browsing and editing of patches via the OLED screen.
And Voice Control enables mono or poly voice count per timbre, unison/mono, detune, timbre editing and voice-stealing configuration.
