Complete Moog (Software) Buying Guide 2026
Moog (Software) at Blackout Audio is a digital-download catalog: one virtual analog synth plugin, plus a set of MoogerFooger plugins that are digital recreations of analog Moogerfooger hardware. Nothing here ships in a box. You get a license key by email and install it in your DAW. If you want analog-style synth sounds, start with Mariana. If you want classic Moogerfooger colour on tracks you already have, start with a delay, phaser, or another effect recreation. All prices in this guide are in CAD.
Best Virtual Analog Synth Plugin: Mariana
Mariana is $129 CAD. It is the only virtual synth in this Moog (Software) lineup. The other titles are effect plugins. If your first question is “which Moog plugin makes notes,” this is the answer.
The product page does not publish a long spec sheet in the brief we have. Treat it as a software instrument you download and authorize, not as a hardware synth and not as a Moogerfooger. You are buying a Moog-branded virtual analog synth plugin for sound design and writing, delivered as a license key by email with no shipping.
Best for producers who want one Moog software instrument before they start collecting effect recreations. $129 CAD is the top of this catalog. If you already have a synth you like and you only want Moogerfooger-style processing, skip Mariana and go to the delay or phaser below.
Best Delay Recreation: MoogerFooger MF-104S Analog Delay
The MoogerFooger MF-104S Analog Delay is $95 CAD. It is a digital recreation of analog Moogerfooger delay hardware, not a rack unit and not a pedal you plug into a wall. You install the plugin and run audio through it in your DAW.
Name tells you the job: analog-style delay colour as a software effect. That is the first Moogerfooger most mixers grab because delay is a daily tool. It is still a plugin. Do not read the word “Analog” in the title as a claim that you are buying hardware. You are buying a licensed digital recreation, delivered by email, priced at $95 CAD.
Best for anyone who wants Moogerfooger delay on vocals, synths, or buses without owning the original analog unit. If delay is not your first effect, look at the phaser pick next, or at the ring modulator and saturator in the rest of the lineup.
Best Modulation Recreation: MoogerFooger MF-103s 12-Stage Phaser
The MoogerFooger MF-103s 12-Stage Phaser is $83 CAD. Same rule as the delay: this is a digital recreation of analog Moogerfooger phaser hardware. Twelve-stage is in the product name. There is no extra I/O list in the brief, so we will not invent one.
Use it when you want movement and sweep on a synth, guitar, or bus, and you want that sweep to come from a Moogerfooger recreation rather than a generic stock phaser. $83 CAD undercuts the delay and sits in the middle of the effect prices in this catalog ($69, $83, and $95 CAD).
Best for producers who already have delay covered and want a modulation recreation next. If you need ring mod, filter animation, chorus-style movement, or saturation instead, those recreations are in the full lineup below.
Brand Overview
This buying guide covers the Moog (Software) catalog as sold at Blackout Audio, not Moog hardware synths. Every title here is a digital download. License key by email. No shipping. Instant delivery after purchase.
Two lanes. Lane one is Mariana, a virtual analog synth plugin at $129 CAD. Lane two is MoogerFooger: digital recreations of analog Moogerfooger hardware, sold as individual effect plugins. The recreations in this catalog are a ring modulator, a 12-stage phaser, an analog delay, a MuRF, a FreqBox, ClusterFlux, and a saturator. Prices for those effect plugins are $69, $83, or $95 CAD.
Do not mix this up with a Minimoog, a Mother-32, or a physical Moogerfooger pedal. Those are hardware. These listings are software. The analog character you are shopping for is modeled in the plugin. You still need a computer and a DAW.
Product Line Breakdown
Virtual Synth Plugins
Mariana is the synth lane. $129 CAD. One instrument plugin for analog-style sound design. If you came here looking for a Moog software synth, buy this before you buy effects. See the pick review above and the Mariana product page.
Delay Plugins
The delay lane is a single title: the MoogerFooger MF-104S Analog Delay at $95 CAD. Digital recreation of analog Moogerfooger delay hardware. First effect to buy if your mix already has a synth and you want repeats with that flavour.
Modulation Plugins
Phaser and ring mod live here. The MF-103s 12-Stage Phaser is $83 CAD. The MF-102S Ring Modulator is $69 CAD. Both are digital recreations of analog Moogerfooger hardware. Phaser is the more everyday modulation pick. Ring mod is the stranger, more metallic option.
Filter, Effects, and Saturation Plugins
The rest of the recreations fill specialist jobs. MF-105S MuRF is $95 CAD (filter). MF-107s Freqbox is $69 CAD and MF-108S ClusterFlux is $83 CAD (effects). MF-109s Saturator is $69 CAD (distortion/saturation). Same delivery model: digital download, license by email, no hardware in the box.
Who Is Moog (Software) For?
This catalog is for producers and mixers who want Moog-branded software, not a new piece of hardware to pack. You work in a DAW. You want either analog-style synth sounds (Mariana) or analog Moogerfooger colour as plugins (the MF-10xS recreations).
Bedroom producers can start with one $69 CAD recreation and add later. Session mixers who already own synths can skip Mariana and buy delay or phaser. Anyone expecting a mailed pedal or a USB synth should look at Moog hardware instead. These SKUs do not ship.
Free shipping at $199 CAD does not apply in the usual way: there is no parcel. You are paying for a license.
Full MoogerFooger Lineup
These five digital recreations did not make the top-three grid. They are still the rest of the analog-hardware recreation set. Open the cards, then read the short notes.
Best Ring Mod Recreation
The MoogerFooger MF-102S Ring Modulator is $69 CAD. Digital recreation of analog Moogerfooger ring-mod hardware. Use it for clang, metallic motion, and effects that a delay or phaser will not give you. Cheapest way into the lineup if you already have a synth.
Best Filter Recreation
The MoogerFooger MF-105S MuRF is $95 CAD, even with the delay. Digital recreation of analog Moogerfooger MuRF hardware. Buy this when you want animated filter colour, not when you need a basic EQ.
Best FreqBox Recreation
The MoogerFooger MF-107s Freqbox is $69 CAD. Digital recreation of analog Moogerfooger FreqBox hardware. A specialist effect at the low end of the CAD prices in this catalog.
Best ClusterFlux Recreation
The MoogerFooger MF-108S ClusterFlux is $83 CAD. Digital recreation of analog Moogerfooger ClusterFlux hardware. Same price band as the phaser. Add it when you want that recreation on a bus or a synth, not a generic chorus plugin with a different name.
Best Saturator Recreation
The MoogerFooger MF-109s Saturator is $69 CAD. Digital recreation of analog Moogerfooger saturator hardware. Drive, thickness, and harmonic dirt as a plugin, not a pedal on a pedalboard.
