The incredible Moog Muse! Moog's new megasynth 

Let me know which musical clips you like!

Matt - Please feel free to make every single synthesiser launch video from this time to eternity … the most enjoyable and informative possible every time … Watching you play is always a joy

The only man who creates practical musical patches and displays them in action.

Incredible. Matt you are a treasure to the RU-vid music community. I’d like to suggest a series where you demo the crappiest synths ever made and show us how good you can make them sound! That would be fun. Your musicality is so fantastically tasty. Cheers from Alabama

Best Muse vid is happening right here

This is hands down the best day one video to get a real sense of the muse imo - and I just spent two hours watching them all 😂

Thank you for this wonderful demonstration. ❤ Now in the middle of 50, It's hard for me to fully express, how glad I'm about the fact, I eventually can afford an 8 voice analog Moog synth. Never thought this would come true one day. It's a dream. The unit will be shipped in 8-10 weeks. 😊 Your groovy playing skills are a great inspiration for me. The MUSE sounds so mellow and rich and can be so nasty and expressive as well. I love its vast range, the many different tones it can produce. It will be the perfect addition to my Moog Matriarch. There are some heavy Ruyichi Sakamoto / David Sylvian vibes in this synth too. The design and layout is perfectly well thought out. And finally I'm glad, Moog is still in business and rocking. ❤ Cheers

This might be the best synth intro video I've ever seen - all the magical things beautifully demonstrated in under 14 minutes... I can do the detailed digging on my own. Thank you so much and thank you Moog for continuing to be inspiring dreamers of musical instruments. 🤟

I've been a synth programmer for many years. I know I only need to watch a 14min video from Matt to fully understand what the synth can do and how it can sound, in the right hands. I don't need to see any other launch videos, this is the one. Thanks for cutting through the waffle.

This is the best Muse video I’ve seen. The production, explainer demo, and musical content are all top notch.

Matt, I've never seen any synthesizer not being elevated by your brilliant skills, but this one seems like an extension of you.

9:19 so smooth! 10:42 portishead/goldfrapp vibes, very cool Love the use of the macro knobs. Lovely playing as always. I'm jealous...

Best demo of Muse I have seen. Matt’s demo’s are always the best and make you want to buy the keyboards.

Love the Birdland reference! Man you really play just so tastefully and musically, genuine joy to listen to.

Very cool! I like the sound from this new Moog a lot more than what I've heard from the Moog One. This synth really captures the classic Moog sound very well, while being 8-voice polyphonic too. Very tempting synth!

The solo at 9 minutes Matt. This synth is on another level!!

Matthew you make people want to buy the instrument and you’re very clear on its functionality. I hope they are SERIOUSLY PAYING YOU. Holla

Hey Matt. I just wanted to say, I LOVED this video. I love ALL your videos. I love seeing someone demonstrate synthesizer sound design and performance with real musicality and passion behind it. I appreciate you. ❤

Great video. Hearing this in context makes all the difference.

Thanks Matt for the video! ❤ Anyone who is interested, let me quickly highlight how this synth is unique or interesting IMO: - the LFOs, apart from the usual shapes, come with complex custom shapes (the "+" symbol above the waveform button) - in the dual VCOs there is a wavemix feature where you can set the balance of levels between pulse and triangle / saw (/which you can also mix freely!) - you can program a lot of generative behavior into the sequencer with gate, velocity and note chance / probability for more unpredictability - there's dual timbre addressing in the sequencer so it can play both timbres at once or only chosen notes for timbre A and B (which makes it more fun!) - in the mod matrix you can use functions to change the well-known shapes of sine, square LFOs into uniquely new ones, or create custom curves for envelopes / aftertouch response, etc. - the mixer allows for a clean mix of all analog sources but you can also use the overload slider to overdrive the signal like the classic Moog CP-3 mixer does - the delay works like vintage digital rack units in that it's highly configurable and can provide stereo delays with ping pong behavior, filtered multi-tap tape echo-style delays, or reverb + dreamy chorused-diffusion trails. Generally it's a sonic playground for time-based effects. Thank you Moog!!!

Bernie Worrall, Herbie and Stevie all playing sweet funk at the same time! This thing sounds beautiful, fat, funky and punky! Thanks Matt, another awesome demo ❤❤

You are a legend on the keys man . I like the Kate Bush cover of running up that hill 🙌

I'm a simple man, a new synth is released, I patiently await whether Matt will make a video on it, proving it's brilliance and yet again making me love his playing.

The Muse is in the right hands here! Greetings from Austria

I had countless notifications abut the Muse today. It would be uncivilized for me to watch those ones before yours. Great video, and thanks for being my inspiration to buying Moogs since the Moog One.

Classic Polymoog sounds, great delay effects, fat bass - and, presets! Sounds lovely in your hands as always, Matt

Amazing sounding and looking synth - surprisingly wide range of sounds too! Awesome demo video and cool playing!

Woo boy that sounds delicious. Matt, your jams and mini compositions on this video really raise the bar, and you were already putting amazing stuff down at all times. Really wonderful little performances here. Stunning as usual.👌🏻

Sounds wonderful. Seems like a very complete and fully realized machine, sound is up to the moog standard this time around. Glad we finally got a polyphonic moog available in this price range.

You really set the standard for how to demo a synth. It's difficult to put into words how amazing your videos are. If your demos were developed into full tracks and released, I would buy the records. Beautiful! Thank you ❤

I'd love new young disco-funk bands will born taking inspiration from how Matt plays this great genre of Music!

Oh the SOUND of this beauty in Matts hands! Nobody does it better. inMusic, if you are listening, if possible consider a poly aftertouch keybed for this baby. Make it an option & charge a bit more. Follow the UDO model with the Super 6 poly aftertouch keybed option. The Muse will FLY off the shelves---and you will be able to really take care of those "absorbed" NC Moog employees :) Job well done Moog and Matt for the fantastic demo!

that sound clip around nine minutes is heavenly. I wanna cry all over my toes burrito oh my god. it's making me want this synth a lot.

Nobody better to demo it❤

best video on the synth I have seen! love the musicality you bring when demonstrating it and highlighting how different features bring something unique to the sound! cheers

A legend on a new legend. Talk about making it come alive… whew! Yup, definitely the best Muse video out there

Always like seeing Matt's videos. He always does a synth justice when it comes to showcasing its abilities and he is a great player. Unlike too many other people who just noodle around.

Love your videos! Love the uploads! The synthesizer videos inspired me to look into them more, and there has been no looking back! Thank you so much Matt!

Matt’s always coming through with the smooth grooves.

Great Demo Matt! This sounds incredible!! 😀

I was wondering what you were gonna do with this thing. You always make them all sound so great.

Great demo, Matt! Love the jams, and synth sounds amazing.

Such a great demo, Matt. I was able to order one locally only hours after the official announcement. It's driving me crazy waiting for the 'Ready for Pickup' email from GC! This demo as sent my anticipation into overdrive.

09:19 Gave me goosebumps and chill through my spine.

Fantastic playing and so melodic. Thank you for sharing your talent. You make that synth sound amazing.

Couldn't wait to see it played properly here :) By the way Moog being the most affordable option is CRAZY! How time changes...

10:45 is so beautiful and otherworldly. I love how this synth fills in sonic spaces not covered by other synths.

Just bought mine coming friday! Based on Matts demo, first new synth in 5 or more years. As well as first Moog

The Muse sounds and looks great, awesome playing as always!

8:47 might be the best synth demo ever on RU-vid. Outstanding.

Beautiful sounds. Nice to see your blue 'All Day I Dream About Synths' top on, nice.

track at 8:49 is incredible, amazing work Matt

Best "synth demo" i have ever seen, this is work of art!!

9:10... thats baby makin music right there.... uhhhhhh

I really like this demo which is different from the rest of the myriad of demo’s. More classic sounding. I can appreciate experienced musicians who know how to program sounds…Thanks! Subscribed 😊

Let's go for THE Moog atmosphere.....maybe those warm 70's 'will' come back again...

Can we talk how GOOD this synth looks ???????? I’m melting in love……….. This synth is an INSTANT CLASSIC.

All of the musical clips are great! As usual! Thank you. I love you channel and your musicality.

Honestly, this is nothing my VPS Avenger 2 can’t sound like or do and actually this can do much less. I simply understand the magic of a true instrument under fingers but I don’t think in this time and age it is worth the money and time.

Thanx for sharing, love it!

Waiting for the $899 Behringer version in 2055

I just ordered mine. Can't wait to check it out!

Waiting for the iPad version at 4,99 $…

Brilliant sounds, brilliant playing and demonstration of a very nice synth! I'm happy for Moog, they seemed to really have nailed it this time! And at this price point, there's a good chance that this will soon become my first ever Moog Synth!

InMusic has done more to revitalize Moog over the past year than the previous owners did in the past 30 years. Both the Labyrinth and the Muse look to be excellent additions to their lineup, and it feels like they're making a serious effort to honor Moog's legacy and earn the trust of their customers. Hopefully they keep it up, but right now it looks like things might turn out much better than many of us predicted.

Sounds gorgeous😎👍🎹

Beautiful demo, but this synth doesn’t really standout in any way to my ears. There’s so many polysynths available with analog signal paths of similar build quality and price. Market is flooded

Best synth demos come from best players. Thanks Matt.

Yeah made in taiwan or china... no thanks bro!!

hearing the pieces in this video, I think the muse is very well named. Your musicianship and taste are incredible. truly an inspiration and among my favoriite synth and keys players, and likely, low key one of the most influencial of our generation. I hope moog sent you this synth free of charge, cause if anyone deserves it, you're showing the world that this person is you. much love, you're one of the people I hope to someday meet and jam with :)

Matt, you ARE defenitly the best synth-Reviewer ever, since you are talented and know what you are doing with the equipment. All others only hit some keys. YOU play the instrument like a professional.

Production quality on these vids has improved immensely! Stunning vid and demo!

Fantastic playing - best way to show off a synth.

Thanks Matt - fab demo. I was so chuffed to see you've already got one and really enjoyed the video and its musical snippets showing how capable the new synth is. And I loved the quick bit of Running Up That Hill especially. Very cool!

Matt, you’re the best in presenting synths. You literally made me buy the Moog One by just playing it (and also your preset pack). Thank you so much for your immaculate taste to everything you do❤

Oh man I couldn’t stop smiling when you press the keys. This is pure joy experiencing your talent 👏👏👏 thank you for sharing 💙

Matt you rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no one can do what you do! what sonic bliss and pleasure to hear you rock this Moog! Thank you for inspiring all musicians , Thanks for showing us how musical a synth can be! your talent is divine and your skills are beyond words !!!!!!!!

There are many videos out there TALKING about the Moog Muse. I came here because I want to hear it being PLAYED. And what a great player.

Absolutely WOW! Beautiful sound and all around package. Great, great demonstration, Matt. Thanks for a quick look and listen. Awesome 👏

Thanks for that, it's my favorite demo of it so far.

WOW! A great synth demoed by a great musician. A joy to listen to the machine, rather than someone talking about it. Thanks.

Congrats MJ ! Everyone needs sub to this fine, extremely talented gent.

Beautiful demo sounds! Thank you! And it seems to be far more direct and intuitive than the Moog One, yet very deep and useful. A magical synth for players and performers. The Moog One will remain a synth for sound design enthusiasts.

Thanks Matt, interesting synth for sure.

Great video. Good to see synths reviewed expertly and actually played. So many reviewers spend much time talking about functions, twiddle knobs and demonstrate sequencing or arp functions but never show what it can do musically as an instrument beyond a few slow chord changes, if they use the keyboard at all

Nobody does it better than Matt!!

Wonderful instrument and superb demonstration video! Thank you, Matt!

Ooooooo... Perfect review for a Matt Johnson. What a workout.

With Matt, you know there will be funk. ❤

I don’t know what is the most inspiring.. this gorgeous synth or your so lovely demos 😍. Many thanks Matt

Sounds like the final analog polysynth. Nothing comes after that. If only I had taken piano lessons in my youth to bring this marvellous instrument to life as well as you can.

This megasynth goes a new level in synth sounds! Every video is a lesson for keyboard music!

Dreamy playing and pads are so vital in polys. Thanks for playing those.👏🏻👏🏻👋🏼

Definitely got the wow factor. Excellent all round sounds coming ftom your incredible playing Matt. Greetings from New Zealand

You are the master of cool. Matt love how you can relate to new gear and show it at its best. Genius.

Great demos, sublime playing, powerful synth! When you split the keys before the end and played bass in the left was my fave part... @08:15...

Wonderful playing, Matt❤

Wonderful demonstration and insights, Matt. Fantastic video, great to hear a melodic playing showing the musical ways you could play this beautiful instrument!

Amazing. You can’t help but smile. It’s an incredible synth

You are really amazing thanks for sharing!
