Interview with Bob Moog

Bob Moog
Dr. Bob Moog
during a recent
Sweetwater visit.

Voyager

Vintage Heritage! The MINIMOOG VOYAGER combines the sound of the original Model D Minimoog (from the early 70s) and new additional features, including a 3-D touch surface, MIDI IN and MIDI OUT and more!

More about the Voyager
Dr. Robert Moog started building theremins as early as his teenage years and started the R.A. Moog Company in 1954. A decade later he invented the first line of electronic synthesizers - to say simply that the rest is history would be too simple. Dr. Moog has a PhD in Engineering Physics from Cornell University and honorary doctorates from Polytechnic University and Lycoming College. His many awards include the Silver Medal of The Audio Engineering Society, the Trustee’s Award of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the Billboard Magazine Trendsetter’s Award, and Seamus award from the Society of Electroacoustic Music in the United States. He has written and spoken extensively on a variety of topics in music technology and has contributed major articles to Encyclopedia Britannica and the Encyclopedia of Applied Physics.

On a recent visit to Sweetwater, we had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Moog and ask him a few questions. While his new MINIMOOG VOYAGER was the focus of our interview, there are many insights to be discovered here; from his humble beginnings through to his view of the future of professional audio, we hope you enjoy gaining the perspective of the legendary Dr. Bob Moog.
