Moog Muse
Tuotenumero 1086267Analog synth, 61 keys, 8 voices, 44 knobs, 16 sliders, 129 buttons, two oscillators, 64-step sequencer, incl: IEC cable
Meet Muse, an eight-tube analog polyphonic synthesizer – the result of five years of passionate work. Muse is an intuitive and powerful instrument, built on Moog's rich history while looking to the future. This central part of your studio or stage is powered by eight analog voices, each with two oscillators, a modulation oscillator, dual filters and a stereo amplifier.
Muse is inspired by components such as Minimoog Voyager's oscillators, MF-102 Ring Modulator, CP3 Mixer, 902 VCA module and 904a filter. With 16 banks of 16 sounds each, you can explore many different possibilities. From pads and organic FM picks to leads and dark basses, there's something for everyone. The digital controls give you unlimited possibilities to shape your sound with powerful modulation options, customizable envelopes and flexible LFOs. Muse features a 61-key Fatar keyboard with velocity and aftertouch, a left-handed pitch and modulation control, and a programmable macro button. A hypnotic stereo delay effect also lets you create complex and fascinating soundscapes.
- Full-size semi-weighted Fatar keybed with 61 keys with velocity and channel aftertouch
- Diffusion Delay: a hypnotic stereo processor inspired by vintage golden era digital rack delays with diffuse multi-tap behavior
- Dual analog VCOs per voice derived from Minimoog Voyager circuitry with wave mixing and programmable analog FM
- Analog modulation oscillator per voice with pre-routed destinations that can be used at audio speed as a third audio oscillator
- CP3 style saturation mixer per voice with Ring Mod, Noise and either clean or saturated mix
- Dual discrete transistor stages VCF per voice with switchable routing configurations
- Stereo discrete transistor VCA per voice based on the Moog 902 module
- Dual ADSR envelopes per voice with variable curves, looping, velocity response and assignable to any destination
- Two LFOs with unique waveforms, dedicated Pitch LFO and 16 per voice triggered random generators - all routed via 16 modulation slots per timbre, per patch
- Bi-timbrality and Voice Control: two independent timbres per patch can be stacked or split across the keyboard
- Advanced arpeggiator with rhythmic programming, extended patterns and generative behavior
- Chord memory with programmable chord shapes per key
- 64-step sequencer with sequence chaining, parameter recording, probabilistic editing and much more
- 16 banks with 16 patches for a total of 256 patch memories. Muse ships with 224, leaving two banks reserved for user patches
- 16 banks of 16 sequences for a total of 256. Muse ships with 224, one designed for each of the factory patches with two sequence banks reserved for user sequences
- Analog CV and clock inputs/outputs, sustain pedal input, expression pedal input
