Moog Teases Messenger Synthesizer Debuting At Superbooth 2025 (Sneak Preview)
Ahead of Superbooth 2025 – kicking off in Berlin on Thursday 8 May – Moog has shared a cryptic teaser video that confirms the company will be releasing a new synthesizer: Messenger.
The video is a surreal experience that depicts unidentified workers visiting the forest to install microphones in the ground, before we’re shown a Severance-esque scene in which more creepy corporate types get their Jackson Pollock on, while one plays the new Messenger synth. (If the Severance connection seems a little random, cast your mind back to the fourth episode of the show’s latest season, in which Miss Huang somewhat inexplicably plays a Moog Theremini.)
“A new mode of communication has arrived,” reads the caption for the video. “A carrier of universal language, a catalyst for human connection, a machine for deeper meaning. This device translates ideas into actuality. It exists in a space where experimentation meets expression, where the sights and sounds of the natural world intersect with notions of the cosmic beyond.”
Based on what we can see in the video, the Moog Messenger is a compact monophonic synthesizer, featuring two oscillators, a sequencer, arpeggiator, a 32-note keyboard and a hands-on, knobby interface.
Judging from the image below, it looks like there’s also a multimode filter onboard with four modes, an arpeggiator and a 64-step probabilistic sequencer.
“Keep on listening,” the caption reads. “We’ll have more to share with you soon.”
We’ll have full official details on the Moog Messenger when they are announced May 8th.
