Remember that Moog?
Dear Reader,
Hey, you do remeber the moog, don’t you? We finally got back to it.
The first totally easy to use moog, the Minimoog Model D, came out in 1970. Basically, before that Robert Moog produced the modular systems and the thermin. In 1972 the Sonic 6, Satellite, Modular System “12″, “921″, Oscillators debuted.
In 1975 the Taurus and the Polymoog were released. Robert Moog went on to produce several other products and started and sold several companies. Lastly, he produced thermins again.
His family decided to start The Bob Moog Memorial Foundation for Electronic Music, after he died in 2005. The goals of the foundation can be seen at
