Exploring the Moog Muse

[@lonophonic117]

This synth by Moog is SO vintage sounding yet with the still signature elements to it. What a synthesizer. I’m glad you’ve introduced me to this upcoming poly legend!!

[@aloraliquid]

Got mine on Friday, and very much looking forward to incorporating it into my music! Nice playing! :)

[@Twobarpsi]

I have always loved the Moog sound!

[@MacXpert74]

Very nice! I really liked how you showed some realtime sound design with a focus on classic polysynth sounds. Most demos of the MUSE focus on the sounds that can be made with more complex modulations that it can do, which is also cool. But it's also nice to hear it really does the 'bread and butter' sounds very well too!

[@auralplex]

Bread and butter is boring.

[@MacXpert74]

@@auralplex Not if you know how to play and make good music. Your comment is like saying a piano or guitar are 'boring'. Maybe in your hands, but not for people that know how to play them! 😉

[@EchoKraft]

Wow ! Sounds amazing! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@DankePlace]

Thx for the shout out.

[@zacharycartwright1188]

Finally! It's so hard to find longer videos of people just playing around with synths, not explaining anything or preforming a song in particular, just improvisation

[@ultramet]

So strange to see a new synth that just blends in aesthetically with all of your vintage gear. Sounds like a…well like a ….Moog. 👍🏼

[@alancalvitti]

same sound as past 50y

[@elektronzer3809]

Absolutely Badass. I own one myself and can only dream of what you do.

[@NicolasMelis]

sounds great 🎹👌

[@christopherprice3226]

Nice tweeting demo. Got mine last Sat. Not sure what to think. Factory patches all over the place. I guess i will have to program to find sweet spots

[@VelvetTubeShaper]

Got one comming soon. Backordered but gonna be here after Christmas. Yaaaa😊

[@MagnitudePerson]

Muse sounds good with its thick bass. and analogue feel

[@quinnzender]

Great demo! I love how immediate the panel design is. It really reminds me, oddly, of the immediacy of a Juno.

[@VelvetTubeShaper]

I have one on order. Going just under my Juno60 that I bought new in 83. Can't wait to enjoy these 2 synths together sharing a stand in my studio.❤

[@darwiniandude]

Amazing sounds you've coaxed out of it, well done :) So nice to have a modern Moog poly out there now.

[@BplusK]

Oh man I really want!!!!

[@googlingthevoid]

Excellent! Can’t wait to get mine. 1:50 THUNDEROUS

[@samprock]

Now I understood more of Muse than thousand and one reviews! To the point. TNX Fits right in LM collection. I want to hear a song with 😊

[@DankePlace]

It's a great synth, offers more than what people expected. Not my type of synth but none the less, still does some nice things.

[@MrSNEAKFREAK96]

What’s your type of synth?

Фантастика из другой галактики, очень завораживает!

[@payt01]

That sounds awesome! Your Matriarch back there is looking a bit worried and sad though, so I hope you give it some love too :)

[@lukemillionmusic]

Don’t worry. The Matriarch will still get some love 😊

[@PietroTaucher]

Sounds like 8 Rogue in one, nice Q/P too amybe not an american moog but still great soundwise. Thinking of buying it, thank you for the demo (much better than official demos from Moog website)

[@dEadnAstyrEcords]

Hope you do an exploration into the sequencer sometime? We're very Avant Garde, and the Muse seems to be perfect for being very Artistic, experimental, and improvisational. Thanks.😀

[@WesterlandVentures]

Please do a tour of your equipment if you haven’t done one already. I want to know some of the models

[@curatolo1]

If you're taking requests or suggestions, please consider doing a synthesizers of Jamiroquai video. There's not much out there showing how they got all of the sounds of the first couple of albums, the Toby period. Thanks in advance, I'm really really enjoying your videos

[@Nicko-eb9kr]

my dream is to get one of these moogs. But so pricey.

[@timothydahlin5321]

Waiting for the short where you keep coming up on this synth ;-).

[@arp807]

Sounds good. Can you make a cover of HOME - Resonance? With using all of your synths with this one, it'd be great!

[@TheSoundtec]

No one on youtube is talking about an external "Hardware" controller. EVERYONE is talking about software controllers. Comeon beat them to it! Thanks

[@kostis2849]

My Good Sir, would you consider covering the Greek Italodisco hit "Lost in The Night"? I believe it is of interest.

[@beherid5111]

Sounded a little like Daft Punk Tron 40 seconds in.

[@charlessalas5294]

I want one

[@RonWinesMusic]

Wow! Great demo! It's funny that it's a Moog because, to me, it sounds like the offspring of an OB-Xa and a Prophet 5. 🤔🤣

[@lukemillionmusic]

It definitely stands up to my P5 and OB8!

[@kvmoore1]

I currently have a Prophet 10 and Polybrute and have been wanting to add an OB-X8 ever since it came out. However, I just have not been able to afford it. When listening to this Muse and the way it sounds, it seems a lot more versatile than the OB-X8. It also seems like it's very capable of making OB-style brass and string sounds too. Of course, I don't expect it to sound exactly likevan Oberheim because of the differences in the filter design and oscillators, but at least get close enough. Perhaps not being able to afford an OB-X8 for the last couple of years was actually a blessing in disguise. Maybe "THIS" is the synth that's a better alternative. Also, I do think the OB-X8 as well as the classic OBs from Oberheim are a bit plain aesthetically with very few features considering the overall price (and huge size) of these ynths, despite how good they sound. The Muse has the sound and the features (and looks too) at a more affordable price point. This full-featured keyboard is the same price as the "module" version of the OB-X8 and it sounds incredible!!!! WOW!!!! I want a Muse now. I can't wait to actually get a chance to play one first hand at a store to hear it in person.

[@claytonlevibrown]

perhaps you could make another video where you play the grandmother as a bassline and the muse with hp filter on the top of the sound to show how the audio blends together.

[@iSirTaki]

would like to hear your opinion so far.. thx!

[@lukemillionmusic]

I’m very impressed so far. It covers all the usual polysynth duties and can go much further!

[@justinb9387]

love the look of it , doesnt sound great though ... ever since Bob stopped actually designing them they dont sound as good , i think the last one bob designed was a moog module , i forget its name , i used to have it , it sounded nice ... but this ... i bet its very expensive , does look very nice though , glad to see such a nice looking moog.

[@karlsmith2451]

Reminds me of the Roland Juno 60, fat sounds.

[@flynlr]

gonna order one. have wanted a Moog since the 70s affordable and kind of a best of to boot /

[@SolidtraxNL]

Great that you share your first impressions and sounds. Some questions if that is allowed: Would you say that the delay alters the sound (thins it out a bit?). What do you think of the noise floor? Is that on par with the excellent Moog Voyager?

[@lukemillionmusic]

I’m liking the delay so far and I don’t think it thins the sound out. There is bit of a noise floor but nothing like my vintage synths 😂

[@SolidtraxNL]

@@lukemillionmusic thank you for answers Luke!

[@ijmball123]

How would you compare the Muse and the Matriarch?

[@lukemillionmusic]

They are two different beasts, but I am feeling that the Muse may be a polyphonic Matriarch on steroids!

[@jarjar45123]

@@lukemillionmusicwhat i love about matriarch is the slightly saturated grittiness, very organic and smooth top end. Versus the sub37 that sounds more brassy and nasal to me. How does this fit into that spectrum do you think?

1:55 - 2:00 is my fav track :)

[@evanwyatt9971]

Hey dude just wondering what the experience of muse is like in comparison to the matriarch. Like specifically the keybed?

[@claytonlevibrown]

this synth is about to put all the other synths people use to shame. well done new moog.

[@electrowayne2918]

I've already put 2 of my vintage synths up for sale to help pay for this. Lol! Sweetwater will have stock by September. Going to get in line. All I'll need is this, My prophet 5 and my Dx 7. I was going to get the OBX-8..but this is much more interesting to me.

[@edenhunter9904]

Not so. My Jupiter X is better at all the polybrass you heard in this demo.😊

[@autoy]

How do you find the envelopes, specially vs very fast/snappy polys you have like JP4, Juno60 or Prophet5? Thanks for the demo.

You don’t have to know how to play, just use your ears and press keys. If it sounds good, record it.

[@augustleo7434]

Very Brassy

[@Kouros-t6d]

It's nice to see a synth that looks like a musical instrument and not like a toy (montage...fantom...nautilus etc...)

[@X22GJP]

Toys…riiiigth, whatever. They are different instruments with different capabilities and target audiences. The muse can do things that Montage and Fantom can only dream of, just as Montage and Fantom can do things that muse will never do. Comparing a synth to a workstation is chalk and cheese and shows a level of immaturity and fanboyism on your part. Well done.

[@Kouros-t6d]

​@@X22GJP You have completely MISUNDERSTOOD what I meant! I know very well that are 2 different categories of instruments but AESHETICALLY the new workstations SUCKS and looks like keyboard TOYS without any wood and full of flashing lights , the last workstation that looked like a REAL instrument was the Korg Kronos.

[@MrCaliforniaD]

I don't find it to sound like a Moog. It sounds good, but it could be a Novation Summit or something like that.

[@TheSnowLeopard]

Very nice, I am jealous as I could never afford $6500AU for one of these, given my disability...

[@auralplex]

[@aumenarys]

So, what is the difference between this and the previous version ? (I don't play synth)

[@chris-rich01100]

It's quite surprising that this Muse appears only a year after the change of owners of Moog Music, imo this synth is not a musical product as would have been designed and manufactured by Bob Moog, but as a financial product intended to bail out the cash flow of the new company, because the buyout, paying salaries, paying off debts must have cost money, so cash is needed immediately, all that remains of Moog is the sticker on the front panel. Imo this Muse looks like a marketing product intended to replenish the coffers. Sad.....

[@BullyMaguire4ever]

It was being designed for 5 years so it was designed by the old team, bro.

except all the synths you mentioned have sonic character, where as the PB has the weakest oscillators of all the synths you mentioned and leans heavily on its FX section to make it sound decent, where as the others don't.

[@MaxZorin8]

@@DankePlace Untrue.

@@MaxZorin8 seems like the general consensus disagrees with you.

[@nalaeel219]

At this point in time not many people would need another poly synth. This sounds like the rev2. Polybrute 12 and many others. Nothing special to go blow $3500 bucks on.

[@DankePlace]

This sounds nothing like a Rev 2 nor a PB, you could not be further from the truth. How does a ladder filter sound like a Curtis or a Steiner. I mean when you're wrong, you're just wrong.

[@gforce7four]

​@dankeplace you do realize there is more to a synth sound than just it's filter right? I agree, it does sound like a rev2 and that's perfectly fine. The rev2 is a gem.

@@gforce7four No it sounds nothing like a Rev 2, I would know, I own one.
