A new digital experience from Moog Music celebrates the historic synthesizer manufacturer’s 70th anniversary, re-release of its most legendary analog synthesizer, and electronic music pioneer Bob Moog’s birthday (May 23rd).

Drawing inspiration from ‘90s video games and websites, this interactive experience gives visitors access to the rich history of electronic music through the lens of the Minimoog Model D. Discover the amazing musicians, songs, stories, and sounds that have shaped generations of music through apps and activities inspired by this beloved synthesizer and the artists that embraced it.

Play the Sounds of Your Favorite Artists & Songs

Used by some of the most innovative musicians of our time, few instruments have been as impactful to the world of music as Minimoog Model D. Bernie Worrell used the instrument as a foundation of Parliament Funkadelic’s futuristic sound. Kraftwerk employed Model D on the pioneering concept album Autobahn, defining an entirely new genre of electronic music. Gary Numan replaced his live band’s guitars with Minimoogs, creating the prototype for industrial music. The classic sound of the Minimoog Model D can be heard on Bob Marley’s Catch a Fire, David Bowie’s Low, and Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, to name a few.

With this artistic rendition of the classic synthesizer, visitors can jump in and play an online version of the Minimoog that features the sounds inspired by generations of musicians. Featuring over 45 classic presets, users can record and share their own short musical creations using this interactive instrument. Make an original song that fuses the sounds of your favorite artists: bring the bass from Devo’s “Whip It” together with the lead from Bob Marley’s “Stir it Up,” backed by the kick drum from 10cc’s “I’m Not In Love.”
