The all-new Moog Messenger: a tour with synth legend Erik Norlander of Moog

Moog Messenger is something new. Because that’s the first major product entirely developed under new owners inMusic*, that might make you nervous. But this synth is full of surprises—and could be the Moog synth your rig has been missing. Moog’s Erik Norlander, Director of Keyboard Product Development, walked us through the synth. I think it might wind up being his biggest hit since the Alesis Andromeda.

Free Manifest Audio Percotone is a delicious percussive monosynth

Noah Pred has a fantastic free treat out on Manifest Audio for Ableton Live and Max for Live. Percotone is monophonic, expressive, playable, and full of tonal, pitch-mangling delights. It’s just the thing for sneaking in some quick sound experiments in the waning days of the year.
