About Moog
Moog are instantly recognisable and have been the definition of a ‘synth’ sound since their inception in the 1960’s. Founded by Dr. Robert Moog, the company revolutionized music by introducing voltage-controlled synthesis through the iconic Moog synthesizer, which involved multiple oscillators and filters, all within one unit.
Moog’s product lineup is incredibly varied, however the crown jewel in Moog’s analogue synthesizer range is the Minimoog Model D. Released in 1970, the Moog Minimoog Model D is the most iconic and sought after mono synthesizer of all-time. Often copied, but never replicated, the Model D made its way onto records by artists such as Pink Floyd, Herbie Hancock, Kraftwerk, Dr Dre, and Frank Zappa. The Minimoog Model D’s iconic, analogue sound continues to transcend genre.
Moog’s more contemporary offerings vary from the incredibly powerful Moog Subsequent 25 and Subsequent 37, MINITAUR Analogue Bass synth, Mother-32 synthesizer, as well as expanding into software with plugins such as the Moogerfooger and the Model 15 iOS app. Products such as the Matriarch, DFAM Drum Machine, and Subharmonicon semi-modular synths provide the Moog legacy with more signature innovative and iconic units. Of course, Moog also produce one of the world’s most iconic and interesting instruments, the Theremin and Theremini.
Moog effects processors and software extend creative possibilities. The hallmark MOOG sound, characterized by rich analogue tones, has left an indelible mark on pop music, film scores, and experimental music. Incorporating the "Moog sound" into mainstream and niche genres, MOOG instruments stand as a testament to innovation and artistic expression.
