Meet Muse, an eight-voice analog bi-timbral polyphonic synthesizer — the culmination of over 5 years of dreams, design, and passion. Muse is an intuitive and powerful instrument built on the rich history of Moog that simultaneously gazes boldly into the future. This studio or performance centerpiece is driven by eight analog voices, each with two VCOs, a modulation VCO, dual VCFs, and a stereo VCA — all with that recognizable, kinetic analog quality.
Muse represents a melting pot of classic Moog designs paired with forward-thinking controls in one complete instrument. We’ve selected the very best of vintage Moog circuits to create Muse – inspired by Moog Voyager oscillators, MF-102 Ring Modulator, CP3 Mixer, 902 VCA module, and a 904a Filter.
With 16 banks of 16 patches, you’ll encounter beautiful pads, organic FM plucks, attention-grabbing leads, subterranean basses, stage-oriented key splits, as well as 2 banks reserved for your own sonic discoveries.
Explore and express yourself endlessly with cutting-edge digital controls for powerful modulation capabilities, dedicated macro control, customizable envelopes, and multiple flexible LFOs. Shaping sound with Muse is a pleasure — the synthesizer and synthesist grow as one as the adventure continues for years to come.
Muse was created for, and by, modern musicians, producers, and sound designers who appreciate performance-oriented controls, intuitive knob per function layout, and “More” menus for every module. Built for stage and studio with a 61-key Fatar keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch, a left-hand controller with pitch and mod wheels, and a programmable Macro knob makes the experience of interacting with Muse inspiring, intriguing, and innately playable.
A hypnotic stereo Diffusion Delay™ processor was inspired by golden era vintage digital rack delays with a unique and powerful set of diffusion, multi-tap, and filter behaviors. Craft complex echoes and diffused tonal smears that add dimension and depth to any patch.
In addition to Muse’s creative immediacy, the powerful arpeggiator invites you to generate melodic ideas with compelling patterns and rhythms. With Muse’s deep sequencer, you'll unravel unique patterns and gestures — further develop these discoveries with parameter recording, generative/probabilistic functions, and detailed editing of every note in the sequence — Moog Muse is a limitless canvas of musical exploration.
Key Features:
