Moog Music has announced the release of a firmware update for its latest flagship synthesizer, introducing key improvements that elevate the creative possibilities.

Firmware v1.2.0 for Muse introduces significant enhancements to the Chord mode, now allowing users to save up to 8 different key maps within the CHORD module’s KEY mode. This update enables musicians to store 61 unique chords across the keyboard and easily switch between multiple chord setups, even after the unit is powered down.

Muse represents the culmination of over five years of dreams, design, and passion from Moog’s engineering and product team. This studio or performance centerpiece is driven by eight analog voices, each with two voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), a modulation VCO, dual voltage-controlled filters (VCFs), and a stereo voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA), all with that recognizable kinetic analog quality.

Changes in Muse firmware v1.2.0

  • Chord Mode Enhancements: Save and recall up to eight key maps, providing expanded creative flexibility in the CHORD module.
  • MIDI Panic Feature: A new soft button in the MIDI menu sends Note Off messages to all voices, ensuring clean performance transitions.
  • User Interface Improvements: Enhanced language clarity in the Clock More menu and stability improvements throughout the system.

Muse owners can download the v1.2.0 firmware update by visiting the Moog Music website. The update process is simple and can be completed via Muse’s Disk Mode, with detailed instructions available online.
