Moog Muse

Moog Muse is an 8-voice, bi-timbral, analog polyphonic synthesizer, featuring a 61-key semi-weighted keyboard with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch, 2 x VCO, modulating VCO, 2 VCF and stereo VCO, 16 banks of 16 patches, 2 LCO, Pitch LFO, a built-in 64-step sequencer, 16 sliders, 44 knobs, 129 buttons, Pitch and Mod wheels, USB, MIDI.

The refreshed architecture features digital controls as well as a robust analog section based on classic schematics of the Moog Voyager oscillators, MF-102 Ring Modulator, CP3 Mixer, 902 VCA module and 904a filter to give you unlimited sound possibilities.

The instrument has factory sounds spread across 16 banks of 16 patches, featuring magical pad sounds, FM, piercing leads, and powerful basses. You can also create your own presets and save them in 2 banks for user settings. With a large number of knobs, filters, and envelopes, you can create endless sound variations for your music. A powerful arpeggiator can significantly diversify the set tone.

Muse has an intuitive and user-friendly interface that is perfect for experimentation in studio work and for convenient live performances at concerts.
