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.

Moog just posted an all-star art and tech panel; all that and an Oberheim

It’s not every day you get to see this lineup – Moog Music meets the Bob Moog Foundation with Michelle Moog-Koussa, Lisa Bella Donna, Suzanne Ciani, Brian Kehew, Steve Dunnington, King Britt, and Rory Kaplan. Moog just posted the video from NAMM last month. And speaking of the Moog Foundation, they’ve also got a big raffle going – and, surprise, it’s for an Oberheim synth, not a Moog.
