Designed for modern musicians, producers, and sound designers on stage or in the studio, the Moog Muse is an analog bi-timbral polyphonic synthesizer that's driven by eight analog voices, each with two VCOs, a modulation VCO, dual VCFs, and a stereo VCA. Muse represents a melting pot of classic Moog designs including Moog Voyager inspired oscillators, MF-102 Ring Modulator, CP3 Mixer, 902 VCA, and a 904a Filter.

The performance-oriented controls, intuitive knob per function layout, and simple yet deep menu functions create a user experience second to none. The 61-key Fatar keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch includes a left-hand controller with pitch and mod wheels and a programmable Macro knob that makes the experience of interacting with Muse inspiring, intriguing, and innately playable. There are 16 banks of 16 patches with a broad selection of sounds from beautiful pads, organic FM plucks, massive leads, and subterranean basses. What's more, the keyboard can be split and layered allowing you to craft and play with two sounds simultaneously.

The Muse is a limitless canvas of musical exploration. The integrated arpeggiator and 64-step sequencer allow you to generate melodic ideas with compelling patterns and rhythms. Further develop your ideas with parameter recording, generative/probabilistic functions, and detailed editing of every note in the sequence. The hypnotic stereo Diffusion Delay processor is reminiscent of the golden era vintage digital rack delays with a unique and powerful set of diffusion, multitap, and filter behaviors.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this be used with Sennheiser G3 Wireless Lav systems?

A: No it cannot. The tip wiring is different and this is a headphone not a microphone. The G3 receiver has no headphone monitoring output.

Q: 2. How does it sound when you use the 3.5mm jack to record with a cavalier microphone?

A: You can connect a clip on mic to the 3.5mm jack, for more isolated dialog. You would get less background sound with a lavalier microphone.

Q: 3. can this take 64gb sd card?

A: Compatible Memory Cards: microSD (32 GB Max)

Q: 4. Why is this said to be a mono unit, but in the specs it has 2 times for stereo?

A: Hi Geoffrey F,This digital recorder supports both MONO and STEREO. MONO for standard quality of recording and STEREO for high quality.Thanks,Joffrey

Q: 5. Will It Record From 3.5mm Input Jack?

A: If you use a microphone designed for a recorder, yes. A microphone for a smartphone won't work.

Q: 6. Is there a manual gain control?

A: You can manually adjust the input sensitivity of the microphones to change the level of the recording.

Q: 7. can I record my song whether with live band or doing self karaoke. will the sound quality be good?

A: It would work, but unit is designed for conversation, not music. Frequency range isn't wide enough for quality music recording. Also, dynamic range is limited.

Q: 8. I am a nature photographer and would like to use this recorder to record bird vocals. Will this recorder pick up sound from 25 to 50 yards away or is it strictly for close range use. I realize it would depend on the volume of the sound, so would it be useful for my purpose?

A: This product would not be sensitive enough for this application in my opinion.

Q: 9. Is this Mac compatible?

A: Hi Debra, Yes, it's compatible with Mac. -Jen

Q: 10. can you convert the audio file to a text file? PDF?

A: Possibly. This would require third-party speech to text software: Dragon Speech Recognition from Nuance.
