Moog Messenger Preset Editor Released

Owners of the Messenger synthesizer will be pleased to hear that Moog has just announced the launch of a new dedicated software editor and preset manager. Simply named Messenger Preset Editor, the application is available for Windows and macOS systems, and offers full remote control of the synth’s parameters, along with a extensive preset management system.

Full Parameter Control & Real-Time Sync

The new editor fully replicates the instrument’s top panel, offering control over all of its synthesis parameters. It syncs with the hardware via USB, allowing users to shape their sounds on either the hardware or software, or a mixture of both at the same time. All changes are updated between the two in real time. The editor also provides direct access to parameters typically found within the synth’s menus.

A dedicated sequencer view provides graphical editing of the Messenger’s 64-step sequencer. This visual approach simplifies the process of creating and modifying sequences directly from your computer.
