Moog

Moog (pronounced “mohg”) is a legendary American synthesizer company founded by Dr. Robert Moog in 1953. Moog is widely credited with creating the first commercial synthesizer, the Moog Modular, and later popularizing the synthesizer with the iconic Minimoog Model D in the early 1970s. The Minimoog revolutionized music production by making synthesizers portable, user-friendly, and musically expressive, laying the foundation for electronic music and influencing genres ranging from rock and pop to jazz and experimental music. The unmistakable warm and fat sound of Moog’s analogue circuits became synonymous with iconic tracks and artists like Kraftwerk, Stevie Wonder, Pink Floyd, and many others.

Moog continues to innovate and produce instruments that honour its rich heritage while embracing modern technology. Recent offerings include the Moog One, a polyphonic synthesizer that offers a vast sonic palette, and the Subsequent 37 and Subharmonicon, which expand on classic Moog monophonic designs with new features and sequencer options. The company has also continued to produce reissues of its classic models like the Minimoog Model D and Modular Systems, allowing a new generation of musicians to experience the original Moog sound. Known for their build quality, unique sound character, and commitment to analogue synthesis, Moog synthesizers remain highly revered in the music community and are celebrated for their timeless influence on modern music.
