The synth carries the DNA of other iconic Moog monosynths, such as the Minimoog Model D, Voyager, Grandmother, and Subsequent 37. Hear it in action below:

Speaking with MusicTech in a cover interview about the Messenger, Erik Norlander, Moog’s Director of Keyboard Product Development, said the goal was to create “a compact analogue synthesiser that has all the mojo of Moog’s glorious past, along with some cutting-edge new features for the present… [all] in an accessible package that’s within reach for all musicians.”
Moog president Joe Richardson further added: “The Messenger is going to be the beginning of a new category of instruments. It’s much more universal than the other gear we’ve got. You should expect to see more of that going forward.”
In other Moog news, you could be in with a chance of winning a Minimoog Voyager XL that has been signed by musician and tech innovator, Thomas Dolby. The Bob Moog Foundation has launched a fundraising raffle for the synth, which has the serial number 0745 and is in excellent physical and technical condition.
All you need to do is buy a ticket for your chance to win, and all proceeds will benefit the core projects led by the Bob Moog Foundation. You’ll need to be super quick, though – the raffle comes to an end at 11:59 pm (ET) today, 23 February 2026. Get your tickets now.

A multi-platinum recording artist and producer, PinkPantheress – real name Victoria Beverley Walker – is also nominated for two further awards on the night: Artist of the Year and Dance Act. Aged only 24, Walker has cultivated quite a following and achieved remarkable success even in her early 20s, with over a billion streams and multiple charting songs.
“As the first woman to win this award, I’m grateful to be recognised,” says PinkPantheress. “My music production is the thing I’m proudest of, and I’ve worked really hard at it, so I hope this inspires others to pursue their passion.”
“PinkPantheress is both an inventive and instinctive voice in British pop right now,” says Stacey Tang, Chair of the 2026 BRIT Awards Committee and Co-President of RCA Records at Sony Music UK. 
“As a producer, she’s precise and playful, building bold, boundary expanding sounds that travel beyond the UK. She’s quietly reshaping what modern pop can be, and in doing so, opening the door for a new wave of female producers to step forward. Celebrating her at the BRITs is both timely and significant.”
The BRIT Awards will take place on Saturday, 28 February at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, UK. Hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall, the show will be broadcast live exclusively on ITV and ITVX.
The night will see a string of performances from a star-studded lineup, including Harry Styles, Olivia Dean, Ejae, Wolf Alice, Rosalía and more.
The event looks promising for Olivia Dean and Lola Young – who are each nominated for five different awards, while singer-songwriter Sam Fender is nominated for four awards.

You can get Behringer’s LM Drum for less than £300 right nowBehringer’s LM Drum is currently reduced over at Thomann, and you can get your hands on it for just under £300.
Launched in 2024, this drum machine is not just a modern take on the LinnDrum. It captures the essence of “a hundred legendary ’80s drum sounds”, according to Behringer itself, including those designed by Roger Linn such as the LM-1, LM-2, LM9000 and more.
[deals ids=”1wgU2bgcwUVcCfc0TgVoCy”]
The LM Drum landed just after its launch of its Wave synth, and offers 16 voices with trigger pads for each, plus a mixer with volume and panorama controls. It features 109 sounds in total, and has tuning controls for snare, toms, and congas, and a control for hi-hat decay.

It has an assignable analogue filter (low-pass/high-pass) with controls for cut-off and resonance, a wave designer, and a 64-step sequencer with poly meter, step repeat, note repeat, real-time triggering, track mute, and track solo.
Remind yourself of all it has to offer with the videos below:

Behringer’s Wave synth is also reduced at Thomann right now. Inspired by the classic PPG Wave Hybrid synthesiser from the ’80s, this budget take on the classic arrived back in 2024 after four years of development, and replicates the unique architecture of the PPG Wave 2.2 and 2.3, known for their wavetable synthesis capabilities.
The original can be heard across multiple classic records as it was embraced by huge artists like Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Rush, Gary Numan, and Tangerine Dream. Behringer’s Wave is an eight-voice multi-timbral hybrid synth equipped with 16 digital oscillators, each of which can draw from 30 original factory wavetables.

Abbey Road launches its first-ever in-house built sampled instrument in collaboration with British fashion brand Charles Jeffrey LoverboyAbbey Road Studios has partnered with British fashion brand Charles Jeffrey Loverboy on a free-to-download virtual instrument, The Big Nessie.
Marking Abbey Road’s first-ever fully in-house built sampled instrument, The Big Nessie lands to coincide with Loverboy’s spring/summer 2026 collection, and enables producers to “experiment with raw, textural sounds”.

READ MORE: Inside Abbey Road Studios’ new collection of rare and vintage instruments: “We wanted not just the digital version of this gear, but the original”

Samples for the Big Nessie were designed using Abbey Road’s ‘Curve Bender’ philosophy, which essentially allows engineers at the legendary studio to capture sounds, process them using the vast array of vintage gear and acoustic spaces available, and turn them into playable digital software instruments.
“There are many beautiful examples of how music and fashion have seamlessly fused together over the years, but this feels like the first time these creative worlds have come together to present a music production creative tool,” says Abbey Road’s Head of Audio Products, Mirek Stiles.
“Working with Charles Jeffrey was a truly inspiring experience that took both Loverboy and Abbey Road out of their comfort zones to make a fun and quirky sampled instrument for the creative community across the globe.”
Credit: Abbey Road Studios/Charles Jeffrey Loverboy
Stiles says the samples for The Big Nessie were captured at both the Loverboy workshop in Somerset House and Studio Two at Abbey Road, calling them the “perfect environments” to design Abbey Road’s first in-house built sampled instrument.
Abbey Road Studios is not just a music icon; it’s a cultural hub, a laboratory of dreams,” adds Charles Jeffrey.
“Loverboy has always aligned itself with institutions that celebrate culture, from the British Library to the V&A. Partnering with Abbey Road, a place that fosters innovation and creativity, felt like the perfect fit as I explore new dimensions in music and fashion.”
Charles Jeffrey Loverboy’s spring/summer 2026 collection is called Prepared Piano, and is a “love letter” to its partnership with Abbey Road.

The best budget synthesizers to buy right nowHardware synthesizers may seem like an untenable luxury to many producers. The most coveted synths generally start at a price of four figures, with vintage models pushing into the tens of thousands. You’ll certainly need a big bank balance or a good line of credit for a Yamaha CS-80! But fret not, producers and performers — there’s a wide choice of affordable synths that will cost you less than an iPhone.
There are some true gems to be had at this end of the market, with instruments that sound much more expensive, and that are far more versatile, than they deserve to be at the price. Here are our favourite budget synths, and why they might be right for you.

Best overall budget synth: Arturia MiniFreak
Arturia MiniFreak. Image: Simon Vinall for MusicTech
[products ids=”2nnzxmFz93FhW1SOWP8y7l”]
The MiniFreak is an advancement of Arturia’s original MicroFreak, boasting a second multi-engine oscillator to pump through its authentic analogue filter stage, six voice polyphony, digital effects, and a real (albeit mini) keyboard in place of the touch-sensitive pads of the MicroFreak.
The oscillator engines are key to the synth’s sonic versatility. As I explain in my review: “Many of these engines operate almost like multi-oscillator synths in their own right, so by stacking two such engines the range and versatility of the MiniFreak’s voice is more than doubled [compared to MicroFreak].”
Additionally, the synth comes with a license for MiniFreak V, Arturia’s software emulation of its own synth. This integrates tightly with the hardware synth, which can act as a controller for the software (or, indeed, vice-versa).
As I conclude, “The MiniFreak is a small instrument whose unassuming exterior hides a behemoth of a synthesizer. It’s tough to believe the richness and character you can coax from such a compact, almost cute, instrument.”
Best value synth: Behringer Model-D

Behringer’s Model-D is a desktop monosynth with no built-in keyboard, but its looks, features and layout are a direct facsimile of the legendary Moog Minimoog’s control panel, albeit on a smaller scale. Being a lookalike would be pointless if the unit didn’t sound anything like the real thing but, as demonstrated by popular synth YouTuber Starsky Carr (amongst others), the sonic differences between Model-D and Minimoog are astonishingly slight.
Given its affordability, Model-D’s build quality is nowhere near as robust as a genuine Minimoog. But this is nonetheless a bona fide analogue synth, with the depth and richness of sound to prove it — not to mention the same tuning and calibration headaches!
As well as being one of the best value monosynths on the market, Model-D also brings one of the most revered and desirable synths ever created into easy and affordable reach of the masses, whilst delivering a sound and hands-on experience that’s infinitely more satisfying than a software emulation.
Best budget polyphonic synth: Dreadbox Nymphes
Dreadbox Nymphes. Image: Dreadbox
[products ids=”6N0nSpevC7oEwOFGAyd4v9″]
Dreadbox Nymphes’ compact design boasts a six-voice synth based on a single VCO, with additional sub-oscillator and noise generator. The filter section packs both a 24dB/octave resonant low-pass filter and a 6dB/octave high-pass filter, a configuration that’s not dissimilar to the original Roland Juno synths. Modulation is furnished by a pair of ADSR envelopes and a pair of LFOs.
This architecture gives Nymphes, according to Jono Buchanan’s review, “multiple sonic personalities, with rasping basses, ethereal pads, spiky, wonky melodies, blunt sounds perfect for sequencing, and a host of options for electronic percussion”.
All controls have a secondary function accessed by holding down the Shift button, and there are other parameters that can only be accessed via a slightly awkward menu-based system. It’s a solution that saves on cost but that needs adapting to. Nevertheless, as Jono tells us, “if you’re looking for a compact, self-contained hardware synth with a spirit of its own, Nymphes has plenty to get excited about.”
Best budget modular synth: Behringer 2600

[products ids=”7suIojdVClfrm8zXtsKDQ5″]
The Behringer 2600 shares the looks, extensive hands-on controllability, and re-patchable modularity of the vintage ARP 2600 that inspired it. However, it isn’t an exact sonic match to the original; as synth YouTuber and owner of both an original ARP 2600 and all three Behringer variants, Ralph Baumgartl, puts it, the Behringer’s sound isn’t as “brutal, untamed and raw” as the ARP.
It still sounds awesome, though, as I can attest to personally, my own 2600 sitting nearby as I write this. Its sound is simultaneously fat and edgy in a way that only an analogue synth can be, and with three oscillators, each pumping out multiple waveform shapes simultaneously, it can sound utterly huge.
Sonic accuracy isn’t really the point, though. What makes Behringer’s 2600 so good is that, as Baumgartl puts it, the synth has “all the essential synthesiser modules in one single box”, all of which can be patched and routed in whatever way you see fit. This makes the 2600 an ideal starting point for exploring modular synthesis or a powerful addition to an existing modular rig.
Best for beginners: Korg Minilogue XD

[products ids=”4lhKV7DzshO4KhTmvjvAWf”]
We described the original Korg Minilogue as “A pretty wonderful product, full of great analogue character, and a joy to use”. The overhauled Minilogue XD — in the words of Andy Jones’ review, a “souped-up Minilogue” — adds new digital elements to this already tasty recipe.
The most significant addition is Korg’s Multi Engine, taken from its Prologue synth, which allows different sound generation models to be loaded. There’s a choice of a versatile noise generator and a Variable Phase Modulation (VPM) engine, which, as Andy explains, “brings FM oscillation to Minilogue, so expect some more edgy metallic and fast attack sounds”. But it’s also possible to load custom models as User models too, the synth comes with a Wavetable User model to get you started.
In conclusion, Andy tells us “[Minilogue XD] stands out in a competitive area as a synth which is both big in sound and flexible.[…] [T]here are few other synths – expensive, cheap, big or small – that offer as much instant fun, drama, education and attitude.”
Best affordable FM synth: Korg Volca FM 2

The original Korg Volca FM was an homage to the era-defining Yamaha DX7, with the same six-operator design, the same set of 32 algorithms, and the same suite of parameters. In fact, Volca FM can even load original DX7 patches.
The updated Volca FM 2 retains all of these features and comes packed into the same fun-sized enclosure as its predecessor, but it also contains updates that make it a much more capable and satisfying instrument. The most important change is a doubling of polyphony from three to six voices, giving the synth a far wider range of uses, but there’s also a reverb and improvements to the synth’s 16-step sequencer.
But what’s most pleasing about Volca FM 2 is that it packs the unique sound and powerful capabilities of FM synthesis into an ultra-portable unit, allowing you to explore FM and make cool sounds and sequences whenever and wherever you feel like it.

Meshtastic Does More Than Simple CommunicationMeshtastic has been experiencing a bit of a renaissance lately, as the off-grid, long-range radio text messaging protocol gains a ton of new users. It’s been used to create mesh networks in cities, during disasters and protests, in small groups while hiking or camping, and for search and rescue operations. Although it’s connected plenty of people together in all of these ways, [GreatScott!] wanted to put it to work connecting some computing resources instead. He has a garden shed that’s too far for WiFi, so Meshtastic was used to connect it instead.
This isn’t a project to bring broadband Internet out to the shed, though; Meshtastic is much too slow for that. All he really wanted to do here was to implement a basic alarm system that would let him know if someone had broken in. The actual alarm triggering mechanism is an LED emitter-detector pair installed in two bars, one of which sends a 12V signal out if the infrared beam from the other is broken. They’re connected to a Heltec ESP32 LoRa module which is set up to publish messages out on the Meshtastic communications channel. A second module is connected to the WiFi at the house which is communicates with his Home Assistant server.
Integrating Meshtastic devices into Home Assistant can be pretty straightforward thanks to the various integrations already available, but there is some configuration to get these specific modules working as an alarm. One of the pins on the remote module had to be set up to watch the light bar, and although sending the alarm message out when this triggered worked well, the received signal never passed through to Home Assistant until [GreatScott!] switched to using the RadioLib library an an MQTT integration instead. But with perhaps more configuration than he planned for out of the way, [GreatScott!]’s alarm is up and running. Meshtastic projects often balloon into more than we had originally planned though, in more ways than one. You can follow along as our own [Tom Nardi] attempts to connect all of New Jersey with this new protocol.
