Meet Muse, an 8-voice analog bi-timbral polyphonic synthesizer - the culmination of over 5 years of dreams, design and passion. Muse is an intuitive and powerful instrument that both builds on Moog's rich history and at the same time looks into the future. This natural centerpiece both in the studio and on stage is powered by eight analog voices, each with two VCOs, one modulation VCO, two VCFs, and one stereo VCA.
Muse combines discrete oscillators sourced from the Minimoog Voyager with a mixer that adds harmonic saturation, two transistor-based ladder filters, and discrete stereo VCAs, all inspired by the circuitry of Moog modules.
The controls are designed for performance, with one knob per function, and "More" menus for each module. A powerful arpeggiator, chord memory, and a polyphonic sequencer provide full editing possibilities and generative experiences for your musical expeditions.
A hypnotic Diffusion Delay™ processor in stereo, inspired by digital rack units of yesteryear, completes the Muse. With diffusion, multi-tap, and filter parameters, it lets you build complex echoes and atmospheres that give your sound several new dimensions and depth.
- 61 key semi-weighted full size Fatar keybed with velocity and channel aftertouch
- Diffusion Delay™: a hypnotic stereo processor inspired by golden era vintage digital rack delays with diffusing multi-tap behavior
- Dual analog VCOs per-voice derived from Minimoog Voyager circuits with wave mixing and programmable analog FM
- Per-voice analog Modulation Oscillator with pre-routed destinations which can be used at audio-rate as a third audio oscillator
- CP3-style saturating mixer per-voice with Ring Mod, Noise, and either clean or saturated mix
- Dual discrete transistor ladder VCFs 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 waveshapes, 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, expanded patterns, and generative behavior
- Chord Memory with programmable per-key chord shapes
- 64-step sequencer with sequence chaining, parameter recording, probabilistic editing, and much more
- 16 banks of 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
