The Messenger was first announced in May last year, and was described by Moog as marking a “significant evolution” in its synth lineage, introducing “new sonic possibilities and enhanced playability”. It was even rated a near flawless 9/10 in our review.

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.”
