Moog Music Muse 8-Voice Analog Bi-Timbral Polyphonic Synthesizer

The Moog Music Muse is a groundbreaking synthesizer that combines vintage character with modern technology. Featuring cutting-edge digital controls, an array of creative effects like Diffusion Delay and modulation, plus tools including an arpeggiator and sequencer, this versatile synthesizer does what other keyboards never could. Its flexible digital control surface is perfect for quickly dialing in precise parameter adjustments, while its rugged build quality makes it equally at home on stage or in the studio. Designed to inspire creative expression in performance and production, this innovative instrument is one of Moog's greatest creations.

CUTTING-EDGE DIGITAL CONTROLS

At the heart of the Moog Muse is an advanced digital control interface that provides unmatched control of your sound. The integrated OLED programmer, along with an expansive array of 44 knobs, 16 sliders, and 129 buttons, allows for dynamic interaction with every parameter, giving you granular control over tone, modulation, and effects. This state-of-the-art system bridges the analog warmth that Moog synthesizers are known for with modern digital responsiveness, making it easy to tweak presets or create custom patches with complex modulation. From tuning oscillators and waveforms to shaping your sound with filters and editing polyphony settings, these controls allow you to work fast and stay creative.

BUILT FOR STAGE AND STUDIO

Engineered with versatility in mind, the Moog Muse is designed to excel in both live performance and studio production environments. With 61 piano-size semi-weighted keys that offer rapid responsiveness and durability, this instrument delivers a tactile experience that can endure the rigors of touring. Industry-leading connectivity options—including dual back-panel CV I/O— ensure that the Muse integrates seamlessly with both traditional analog setups and modern digital rigs.

ALL NEW EFFECTS AND CREATIVE TOOLS

In addition to classic synth sounds, Muse also introduces a number of versatile new effects. The Diffusion Delay processor emulates the sound of vintage digital rack delays while providing independent controls that allow you to dial in everything from subtle echoes to expansive ambient textures. A robust modulation system features dual onboard LFOs and a dedicated voltage-controlled modulation oscillator with 16 modulation slots and five selectable waveforms. This configuration allows for precise adjustments of pitch, note envelopes, and other parameters to craft intricate chorusing effects or complex evolving textures.

ADVANCED SEQUENCER AND ARPEGGIATOR

The Moog Muse features innovative sequencing and arpeggiator engines for building lush rhythmic and melodic landscapes. Its arpeggiator operates via built-in or external clock inputs with intuitive front-panel Direction and Octave Range controls for immediate adjustments. The Muse’s Programmer interface offers customizable rhythms with adjustable gate length and probability settings, while the dedicated sequencer supports 16-, 32-, 48-, or 64-step patterns with Play, Record, Advance, and Reset controls. Enhanced adjustments through the Programmer panel ensure precise gate length, velocity control, and seamless sequence saving, capturing every creative nuance.
