Moog Music: Analog Drum Synthesis Meets Modern Sampling with Messenger & MPC Sample

Moog Music’s official channel kicks off a new series exploring the synergy between their Messenger analog monosynth and the Akai MPC Sample.

With a tongue-in-cheek review, AudioPilz cuts through the toy-like sheen to ask if this thing’s got teeth or if it’s just a plastic poser. Spoiler: it’s a bit of
