Muse – Revolutionary Analog Synthesizer from Moog

Muse is a powerful and intuitive instrument that combines the rich history of Moog’s legendary synthesizers with a bold vision for the future. This polyphonic synthesizer, driven by eight analog voices, each with two VCOs, a modulation VCO, dual VCFs, and stereo VCAs, serves as the centerpiece of any studio or live performance. Muse delivers that unmistakable, kinetic analog sound that fills the space with life and energy.

Inspired by classic Moog circuits, Muse blends the best of vintage analog designs with modern digital controls, offering musicians, producers, and sound designers a comprehensive array of sound-shaping tools. It brings together legendary Moog components like the Voyager oscillators, MF-102 Ring Modulator, CP3 Mixer, 902 VCA module, and the 904a Filter into a single instrument.

Polyphonic Power and Creative Control

Muse offers 16 banks of 16 presets, including lush pads, organic FM plucks, punchy leads, deep basses, and stage-ready key splits. Two banks are reserved for your own sonic explorations. Modern digital controls allow for powerful modulation capabilities, dedicated macro control, customizable envelopes, and multiple LFOs, enabling endless creativity. Working with Muse is a journey, and the relationship between the synthesizer and the musician deepens as new sounds are discovered.

Built for Stage and Studio

Muse was created for contemporary musicians, producers, and sound designers who demand intuitive control during both live performances and studio sessions. The 61-key Fatar keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch, along with pitch and modulation wheels and a programmable Macro knob, offers seamless interaction, making Muse an inspiring instrument for any musical scenario.

Hypnotic Effects and Powerful Composition Tools

Muse features the Diffusion Delay™ processor, inspired by vintage digital rack delays, offering unique multi-tap and diffusion effects that add depth and dimension to any sound. With the powerful arpeggiator and 64-step sequencer, Muse allows for deep editing and generative capabilities, enabling you to explore new rhythmic and melodic possibilities. Each step in the sequencer can be finely tuned, and patterns can be chained together for limitless creative expression.
