The Bob Moog Foundation was created as a memorial, with the aim of continuing his life's work of developing electronic music.

The Mellotron, an electro-mechanical, polyphonic sample-playback keyboard was overtaken by the Moog synthesizer, created by Robert Moog in 1964, which produced completely electronically generated sounds.

This standard was popularized by ( if not created by ) Bob Moog in the 1960s ; it was widely adopted for control interfacing. One volt represents one octave, so the pitch produced by a voltage of 3 V would be one octave lower than that produced by a voltage of 4 V. Notable followers of this standard include Roland, Moog, Sequential Circuits, Oberheim and ARP.

Responding to pressure from Moog Music to create a portable, affordable ( the Minimoog was US $ 1, 495 upon release ) " performance " synthesizer, ARP scaled down its popular 2600 synthesizer and created the Odyssey, which became the best-selling synthesizer they made.

In 1964, Robert Moog created one of the first modular voltage-controlled music synthesizers, and demonstrated it at the AES convention that year.

Moog employed his theremin company to manufacture and market his synthesizers which, unlike the synthesizers created by Don Buchla ( the other prominent figure in the early history of the synthesizer ), featured a piano-style keyboard as a significant portion of the user interface.

George Harrison had also created avant-garde music as a solo composer ( in 1969 he released an experimental album using the then new Moog synthesizer called Electronic Sound ), and dabbled in the avant-garde with a couple of his Beatles compositions.

The Bob Moog Memorial Foundation was created after the death of Dr. Robert Moog in 2005, and officially launched in August, 2006.

In February 1997, with the legal right to the Coldcut name back, they released a double pack single " Atomic Moog 2000 " / " Boot the System ", the first Coldcut release on Ninja Tune.

Moog's first wife was Shirleigh Moog ( née Leigh ), a grammar school teacher whom he married in 1958.

The Moog synthesizer was one of the first widely used electronic musical instruments.

The first Moog instruments were modular synthesizers.

In 1971 Moog Music began production of the Minimoog Model D, which was among the first synthesizers that was widely available, portable, and relatively affordable.

In 1953 at age 19, Moog founded his first company, R. A. Moog Co., to manufacture theremin kits.

In 1999, Moog partnered with Bomb Factory to co-develop the first digital effects based on Moog technology in the form of plugins for Pro Tools software.

He also produced, in collaboration with first wife Shirleigh Moog, Mrs. Rockmore's album, The Art of the Theremin.

In 1968, Robert Moog developed one of the first solid-state musical vocoder for electronic music studio of University at Buffalo.

* The first Moog synthesizer is designed by Robert Moog.

Despite being more of a singer than a musician, Micky purchased one of the first 25 Moog synthesizers, the third Moog Synthesizer ever commercially sold.

Emerson first heard the Moog when a record shop owner played Switched-On Bach for him.

While other artists such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones had used the Moog in studio recordings, Emerson was the first artist to tour with one.

Emerson was the headliner of both the first and third Moogfest, a festival held in honour of Robert Moog at the B. B.

The Doors became the first group to use the Moog synthesizer on a pop record on 1967's " Strange Days ".

The first movie to use music made with a ( Moog ) synthesizer was the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service in 1969.

Jazz composer and bandleader Sun Ra used one of the first Minimoogs, a prototype lent him by Moog in 1969: " We loaned it to him and Sun Ra ’ s way of working is that when you loan him something you don ’ t expect to see it back.

Highlights of these include 1975's Timewind, 1976's Moondawn ( his first album to feature the Moog synthesiser ), 1979's Dune, and 1995's double-album In Blue ( which featured one long track called Return To The Tempel with electric guitar contributions from his friend Manuel Göttsching of Ash Ra Tempel ).

As the group evolved, McLaughlin adopted what became his trademark: a double neck guitar ( six-string and twelve-string ) which allowed for a great degree of diversity in musical textures, and Hammer became one of the first to play a Mini Moog synthesizer in an ensemble, which enabled him to add more sounds and solo more freely, on the guitar and the violin.

He played for the Oilers for 10 seasons, where he teamed up first with Andy Moog then Bill Ranford to form one of the most formidable goaltending tandems in history, winning the Stanley Cup four times in five seasons ( 1983-84 through ' 87-88 ).

Being a live album, sometimes Keith Emerson's voltage-controlled Moog oscillators went out of tune, due to humidity and temperature.

Analog Brothers is an experimental hip-hop crew featuring Ice Oscillator also known as Ice-T ( keyboards, drums, vocals ), Keith Korg also known as Kool Keith ( bass, strings, vocals ), Mark Moog also known as Marc Live ( drums, violyns and vocals ), Silver Synth also known as Black Silver ( synthesizer, lazar bell and vocals ), and Rex Roland also known as Pimp Rex ( keyboards, vocals, production ).

From the Snakes and Arrows tour onwards, Lee used a Roland Fantom X7 and a Moog Little Phatty synthesizer.

Pedal keyboards can operate the pedal tones of a MIDI organ, or can drive a bass synthesizer such as the revived Moog Taurus.

The album was recorded from April to July in 1978 using a variety of electronic equipment, including various synthesizers such as the KORG PS-3100 polyphonic synthesizer, Oberheim Eight-Voice, Moog III-C, Polymoog, Minimoog, and Micromoog, as well as the Korg VC-10 vocoder, KORG SQ-10 analog sequencer, and Syn-Drums electronic drum kit.

* Moog Rogue, an analog synthesizer from the 1980s

Robert Arthur " Bob " Moog ( ; May 23, 1934 – August 21, 2005 ), founder of Moog Music, was an American pioneer of electronic music, best known as the inventor of the Moog synthesizer.

While there, Moog developed the voltage controlled oscillators, ADSR envelope generators, and other synthesizer modules with composer Herbert Deutsch.

Unlike the few other 1960s synthesizer manufacturers, Moog shipped a piano-style keyboard as the standard user interface to his synthesizers.

Moog also established standards for analog synthesizer control interfacing, with a logarithmic one volt-per-octave pitch control and a separate pulse triggering signal.

Moog credited what he learned from the experience as leading directly to his groundbreaking synthesizer, the Moog.

The carrier signal came from a Moog modular synthesizer, and the modulator from a microphone input.
