Moog
Iconic synthesizer brand
Moog is a brand of electronic synthesizer, named after inventor Robert Moog, that became so influential it sometimes serves as a generic term for analog synthesizers.
The distinctive warm, rich sound of Moog synthesizers shaped electronic and popular music from the late 1960s onward: The bassline was pure Moog.
Pronounced to rhyme with "vogue."
