The Moog Messenger is a great monophonic analog synth. It features variable waveshaping oscillators, FM, a great-sounding multimode filter, sequencer, and arpeggiator, all in a compact size with a 32-note keyboard that sends aftertouch. And the price is not bad either! As an Omnisphere controller, it’s one of our new favorites: it’s easy to use, gives you access to two envelopes, two assignable LFOs, and multiple filter types, all in a cool, portable Moog synth. This one is hard to beat!
