Moog Muse

The Moog Muse 8-Voice Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer is an ideal choice for musicians and producers seeking rich, dynamic soundscapes with vintage warmth. With eight voices and bi-timbral capabilities, Muse offers a versatile platform for intricate compositions. Its intuitive knob-per-function control panel ensures a seamless, hands-on experience, allowing for deep exploration of sound design.

The advanced sequencer, featuring parameter recording and microscopic editing, provides unparalleled creative freedom, making Muse an essential tool for both live performances and studio sessions. Incorporating vintage discrete oscillators, dual transistor ladder filters, and discrete stereo amplifiers, Muse blends classic Moog sound with modern features. The powerful arpeggiator, chord memory, and unique diffusion delay effect add layers of creativity to your music.

Equipped with 61 full-size semi-weighted keys with velocity and aftertouch, along with comprehensive controls like pitch and modulation wheels, Muse ensures expressive performance capabilities. Designed to be rugged and portable, Muse excels both on stage and as the centerpiece of your studio setup, delivering a rich, nuanced sound that evolves and delights over time.

Eight-Voice Polyphonic Sound
The Moog Muse’s eight-voice polyphonic sound engine allows for the creation of complex, layered textures and harmonies. Each voice is driven by vintage-inspired oscillators, providing the warmth and character that Moog is famous for. This level of polyphony ensures that your compositions have the richness and fullness required in modern music. With two selectable triangle/sawtooth mix oscillators and variable width pulse waves per voice, Muse offers endless possibilities for unique sound crafting.

Bi-Timbral Flexibility
Muse’s bi-timbral capability allows for simultaneous play of two different patches, expanding your sonic palette. This feature is perfect for creating intricate, evolving soundscapes or layering tones to add depth to your music. Whether performing live or working in the studio, this flexibility enhances your creative potential. The analog voltage-controlled modulation oscillator further broadens your sonic horizons, offering selectable waveforms and powerful modulation routing options.

Intuitive Controls
Muse’s knob-per-function control panel simplifies sound design, making it straightforward and intuitive. Each module has its own dedicated menu, ensuring easy access to all parameters. This hands-on approach facilitates quick adjustments and real-time manipulation, making Muse an excellent choice for live performances and spontaneous creativity. With 44 knobs, 16 sliders, 129 buttons, and an OLED screen, you have immediate access to all the tools needed to shape your sound.

Advanced Sequencing
Muse’s advanced sequencer is a playground for musical experimentation. Features like parameter recording, probabilistic functions, and microscopic editing enable the creation of intricate sequences with ease. Each sequence can be modified on the fly, independent of the patch, allowing for dynamic changes and endless exploration. This level of control is ideal for artists looking to push musical boundaries. The powerful arpeggiator, sequencer, and chord memory functions offer exponential musical possibilities.

Rich Modulation Options
Muse’s modulation capabilities are truly impressive. The Modulation Oscillator acts as a third oscillator or a powerful modulation driver, along with a dedicated pitch LFO, assignable envelopes, and triggered random generators. These are all routed via 16 modulation slots per voice per patch, allowing for the creation of highly complex and evolving sounds. Combined with analog voltage-controlled filters and amplifiers, your sound design possibilities are virtually limitless.

Performance and Portability
Designed to be rugged and portable, the Moog Muse is perfect for stage use but equally at home in a modern studio. Its 61 full-size semi-weighted keys with velocity and aftertouch provide a responsive playing experience, while comprehensive controllers, including pitch and modulation wheels, a macro knob, and various pedal inputs, ensure full expressive control over your performance. The unique diffusion delay effect, inspired by vintage digital rack delays, adds a hypnotic stereo processing dimension, further enhancing Muse’s versatility.
