We’ll explore every range of the spectrum, starting with the sub bass (20–60Hz) that gives you that chest-thumping feel, through the bass (60–250Hz) that carries the power and weight of your music, and into the low mids (250–500Hz) where warmth, tone, and muddiness often live. From there we’ll look at the midrange (500Hz–2kHz) where clarity and character sit, the upper mids (2kHz–4kHz) that shape attack and vocal sensitivity, the presence range (4kHz–6kHz) that adds bite and definition, and finally the brilliance band (6kHz–20kHz) that brings shimmer, sparkle, and air to your mix.
Along the way, we’ll listen to real examples, solo frequency bands, and share mixing tips to help you avoid muddiness, balance instruments, and bring out clarity.

It’s got the same engine as the Take 5 keyboard: two analogue VCOs per voice, the classic four-pole low-pass filter from the Prophet-5 Rev 4, and a really intuitive layout that makes sound design feel immediate. You’ve got variable waveforms, sub-octaves, hard sync, FM routing and a modulation matrix that lets you go as deep as you like. The onboard effects are lush too — reverb with tone shaping, delay, chorus, distortion and more — plus built-in overdrive for when you want a bit more grit.
With 512 preset slots, a 64-step sequencer and loads of arpeggiator modes, it’s spot on for both studio and live use. If you’re after massive analogue sound in a proper desktop unit, this one’s well worth a look.

The Moog Muse analogue synthesizer is destined to be the centrepiece of any studio or stage, from producers and musicians to people pushing the edge of sound design. The bi-timbral flexibility gives you dual-patch layering, for ultimate sonic exploration. Each of the 8-voices is powered by vintage-inspired oscillators, delivering the warmth and character that Moog is world-renowned for. Combined with the selectable triangle/sawtooth mix oscillators and variable with pulse waves per voice, the Muse gives you endless opportunity.
