Moog Muse
The Moog Muse is an eight-voice analogue bi-timbral polyphonic synthesizer with digital controls for flexible modulation, patch memory recall, advanced sequencing, and a robust build suitable for both stage and studio.
Design and Portability
Muse is an intuitive and robust instrument that draws on Moog's rich legacy while boldly looking into the future. Designed for ruggedness and portability, it fits seamlessly on stage and serves as the centrepiece of a modern studio.
Endless Exploration and Expression
Muse grows with musicians through years of exploration, starting from the first playful encounter with its knob-per-function panel. Its digital controls allow for flexible modulation capabilities, patch memory recall, and advanced sequencing. Each sequence operates independently of a patch, enabling on-the-fly modifications within the same musical concept. The sequencer offers parameter recording, probabilistic functions, and microscopic editing of each note, providing a vast playground for musical arrangements.
Unique Features and Capabilities
The Muse inherits sonic elements from beloved Moog designs, including vintage discrete modular-lineage oscillators, a saturating mixer, dual classic transistor ladder filters, and discrete stereo amplifiers. Performative controls and an intuitive layout with a knob-per-function interface enhance usability. The Muse also includes a powerful arpeggiator, sequencer, and chord memory, offering exponential musical inspiration.
Innovative Effects and Modulation
A unique diffusion delay effect is a hypnotic stereo processor inspired by golden-era vintage digital rack delays with diffusing multi-tap behaviour. The Modulation Oscillator provides a third oscillator or a powerful modulation driver, a dedicated Pitch LFO, assignable envelopes, and triggered random generators, all routed via 16 modulation slots per voice per patch.
Who's it for?
Professional musicians, producers, composers, synth enthusiasts, sound designers, and existing Moog users will find Muse an indispensable addition to their musical toolkit, blending rich, nuanced analogue synthesiser history with modern, innovative features designed to evolve and inspire for years to come.
