1. Moog Subsequent 37
The Subsequent 37 is a paraphonic analog synthesizer that builds upon the award-winning design of the ultra-powerful Sub 37 Tribute Edition. Its control panel is home to 40 knobs and 74 switches, placing a vast array of analog sound-design tools and onboard sequencing options immediately at your command. The Subsequent 37 improves upon its source through the implementation of a number of user-requested sonic and functional enhancements. Each enhancement maintains the magic and character of its predecessor while also providing access to new dimensions of sound and improved playability.
The Subsequent 37 mixer section has double the headroom of that in the Sub 37 Tribute Edition. This provides access to a new range of classic clean tones in both mono and duo performance modes. Leveraging the mixer's newfound flexibility, gain-staging in the Ladder filter has been reshaped to boost harmonic saturation and analog compression, resulting in an overall richer low end. Completing the sonic evolution of the SUBSEQUENT 37 is a re-tuned Multidrive circuit that extends well beyond the grit and growl of the original Sub 37. In addition to the sound engine augmentation, each Subsequent 37 comes with an upgraded keybed for improved playability, a high-powered headphone amplifier strong enough to drive the most demanding headphones, and a software plugin/editor for both Windows and Mac platforms.
2. Moog Messenger
Messenger is the new analog synthesizer of the latest generation from Moog: monophonic, compact, and featuring a semi-weighted keyboard with 32 full-size keys. It is packed with innovative features and combines the legendary Moog sound with flexible, modern functions for today's musicians, producers, and sound designers.
The Messenger boasts two oscillators with wave folding capability, a sub-oscillator with continuously variable waveforms, loopable ADSR envelopes, 32 semi-weighted full-size keys with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch, as well as the legendary Moog ladder filter, which has been enhanced with bass compensation at high resonance levels, multiple filter slopes, and multimode functions. The Moog Messenger is the perfect instrument for shaping sounds on multiple levels, from impressive leads to sophisticated, ethereal textures and powerful, deep basses. It is a dynamic, creative instrument that is accessible to everyone and performs excellently on stage as well as in the studio.
The Messenger is built on the DNA of the most legendary monophonic synthesizers from Moog, such as the Minimoog Model D, Voyager, Grandmother, Matriarch, and Subsequent 37. A simple and intuitive metal panel, 256 presets, and knob-per-function controls make the Messenger extremely playable and perfect for live and studio use. Two loopable ADSR envelopes and two LFOs provide a variety of modulation options, along with a 64-step sequencer for each preset and a dynamic arpeggiator that is always at hand. The Messenger can be seamlessly integrated into any setup with six CV patch points, an external audio input, inputs for expression and sustain pedals, a 5-pin MIDI DIN in/out, and MIDI over USB-C.
3. Moog Grandmother
Do you need a conveniently portable USB MIDI controller with a keyboard that is still musically playable? Do you want to control several sound modules but don't really have space for a large keyboard? Do you have analogue equipment, perhaps even a modular system that you want to control with CV/Gate? Would you like a step sequencer with polyphonic features that can control all your favorite equipment, whether modern or classic? If only there was a single device that combined all these functions...
It's the touch...
KeyStep can do all that and more. We started with the development of our own "Slim Key" keyboard, which offers the best compromise between the space savings of mini keys and the musicality of a full-size keyboard. The compact size, sensitive touch dynamics, and aftertouch capability make KeyStep ultra-portable without sacrificing playability.
Next, we designed a new polyphonic step sequencer with 8 memory locations. Gate times and swing parameters can be modulated instantly, keeping your sequence fresh and varied. Your patterns can be recorded, overdubbed, and transposed in real time, while still allowing you to continue playing on the keyboard. There is also a flexible arpeggiator and chord play mode that guarantees many hours of playing fun time and time again.
...and the possibilities
These features alone make KeyStep the best portable keyboard controller on the market. But we have thought one level further and given KeyStep a variety of connection options: USB-MIDI, standard 5-pin MIDI input and output sockets, clock sync and DIN sync, CV/gate outputs, and a separate, freely assignable CV output that can be controlled via the modulation wheel, velocity, or aftertouch. KeyStep is therefore much more than "just" an excellent small controller: KeyStep is the perfect performance controller in a compact form.
KeyStep Black Edition is supplied with 3 CV cables for connection to your external synths and devices.
4. Moog Mother-32
The Mother-32 is a unique analog instrument that brings raw sound, step sequencing, and extensive interconnectivity to any electronic or modular ecosystem.

9. Moog Dfam
DFAM is the first addition to the Mother-32 family of synthesizers and offers an expressive, hands-on approach to creating percussive patterns. No patching is required, and no prior knowledge is necessary, allowing people of all ages to quickly start synthesizing new and unique rhythmic compositions.
Powered by a user-friendly analog sequencer, the emotional sound of DFAM begins with a white noise generator and two wideband analog oscillators that effortlessly switch between rhythmic pulsations, booming bass, and resonant bells. DFAM's distinctive voice is shaped by a classic Moog ladder filter, which offers two selectable modes: the Low Pass mode adds impact and dimension to any sound, while the High Pass mode allows for naturally expressive hits, peaks, and sonorous accents.
DFAM behaves similarly to a living organism, responding differently to various individuals. Three dedicated analog envelopes work dynamically with the sequencer to ensure that tribal toms come alive, industrial impacts evolve, and cacophonous chaos can be generated or tamed with a twist of a knob. Each DFAM comes with a package of Moog patch cables that unlock access to the 24-point modular patch bay. Use it to create new sounds or bizarre behaviors, synchronize multiple DFAM and Mother-32 units, or fully integrate your analog instrument into a modular Eurorack production environment.
