Title: Moog Synthesizer on Google
Post by: woe10 on May 23, 2012, 15:44:44 PM
If you go to www.google.com there is a Moog Synthesizer to celebrate the 78th Birthday of Bob Moog, the inventor of th Synthersizer.
Everything works on it with your mouse, the keys, the knobs etc. and you can record 4 tracks and play back on the Tape Recorder next to it. Wicked.

like it. At first I thought the URL you left was a bit vague but now I realise it's the Google Logo - for the day.
Think I'll dig out my old Emerson Lake and Palmers, Tangerine Dreams and errr ....Donna Summer.
Nice one.

Sorry yep, the Google Logo. Keith Emerson stil plays the original moog, about as big as 2 sideboards, the best .

I saw Emerson play with The Nice and ELP - I'm betting he doesn't wrestle with keyboards anymore - He probably wouldn't be able to get up if the keyboard was on top of him these days.

It was one thing to invent the Moog Synthesizer but it was Walter Carlos (now Wendy) who showed the world it's potential.The soundtrack for A Clockwork Orange is still one of the finest examples of electronic music in my opinion.

Google do this stuff from time to time, but it usually is only for the day.

HOWEVER, for PacMan's birthday they did this
