A limited-edition piece of synth history. This is the Bob Moog Tribute Edition Minimoog Model D. inmusic.to/3zeb8t5k In 1970, the Minimoog Model D redefined modern music-making. Loved for its analog tone and intuitive, straightforward design, this synthesizer helped influence the sound of legendary artists like @numanofficial, @flytetymejam, and @mmothersbaugh. This new edition of the timeless instrument honors that legacy and the visionary spirit of Bob Moog. To honor Dr. Bob Moog’s legacy and impact on modern music technology, $500 from each Bob Moog Tribute Edition Minimoog Model D sold will be donated directly to the Bob Moog Foundation. Video featuring: @mmothersbaugh @DEVO @numanofficial @flytetymejam @heavymellow @moogstress @danz_cm @synth_history @Moogseum and Lamar Mitchell 🎹 Learn more at inmusic.to/3zeb8t5k #Moog #BobMoog #Minimoog

From studio sessions to stages around the world, some instruments become an irreplacable part of the journey. 🎹 For @TheMidnightLA, the Moog Sub 37 is one of them. The band recently shared these photos from the Time Machines North America Tour, along with a note from Tyler Lyle: "When it came time to build out my own synth library, my first purchase was a Moog Grandmother because nothing else sounds like a Moog. That synth can do everything I want it to, but more importantly, it sounds like a Moog. So do my later additions, the Subsequent 37 and the Model D. My band has played these machines around the world, and we'll be playing one on stage tonight. Over the years, they have become trusted friends in my studio. There is no substitute for an original, and nothing else sounds like it. It was love at first 'Bwaaaamp.'"

The Minimoog's voice has traveled far beyond the world of synthesizers. In the closing bars of @gprokofiev's Synthesiser Concerto No. 1, it becomes the centerpiece of a powerful orchestral crescendo. 🎹✨ Featuring a stunning performance by Inna Faliks for #ClassicalMusicMonth.

POV: You're about to play one of the most recognizable intros in rock music. Jimmy McGorman of The @googoodolls shared this moment with us bringing Iris to life on the Moog Muse.

Wait until you hear “Fruit Salad, Yummy Yummy” on a theremin. 🍎 @thewiggles explore the history of this quirky instrument, from Leon Theremin’s original invention to a performance you probably never saw coming. 🎵 We’re happy to see it all brought to life on the Moog Etherwave Theremin! #Moog #TheWiggles #theremin

POV: someone said, “use whichever Moog you want.” 👀 This jam was built on the fly using Muse, DFAM, Labyrinth, a Minimoog, Moog modulars, and a stack of Moogerfooger pedals. Which one are you reaching for first? #Moog #jam #pov #synths

What does a synthesizer concerto sound like? 🎼 Check out this excerpt from the Synthesizer Concerto world premier by @gprokofiev - performed by Casa da Música + soloist Inna Faliks on a Minimoog Model D. In this section the Minimoog has a driving melody that references both early acid house and classical music. Inna adjusts the Filter to increase the drama, then at the end of the clip, the 1st violins produce an imitation of a synth pitch-bend, giving Inna time to reprogram the sound of the synth. Catch Synthesizer Concerto in our hometown of Asheville, NC with the @avlsymphony on Nov 14th & 15th, 2026. #Moog #synth #symphony

On this day in 1973, Manfred Mann's Earth Band performed on Swedish television's Opopoppa with the Minimoog Model D. This video offers a glimpse into the early days of synthesizers in rock music and a time when the Minimoog was growing its presence on stages around the world. #Moog #synthhistory #ManfredMann

July 10, 1970 — 56 years ago today, the Moog Model I-CA was shipped to Keith Emerson. That instrument would become one of the most iconic modular synthesizers in music history, helping define the sound and spectacle of progressive rock. Its legacy was later preserved by the late Gene Stopp, a beloved Moog engineer and synthesizer expert who dedicated years to restoring, maintaining, and recreating Keith Emerson's legendary modular system. Gene also led Moog's efforts to reintroduce our modular synthesizers years later, ensuring these instruments could continue inspiring generations of artists and explorers. Today we remember a landmark moment in synthesizer history and honor the people who helped keep that history alive. #synthhistory #Moog

What if a synth became your whole drum kit? 🎛️ We sampled the Moog Messenger into the @Akai_Pro MPC Sample and built an entire beat from those sounds alone. Would you try a setup like this? Watch the full video: youtu.be/D0XFL8AbJKc

Did you know Muse can do this? Generative sequencing, FM, and diffusion delay working together to create evolving bell patterns that just keep going… ⚡ What ideas does this spark?

She knew him as dad, the rest of the world knew him as Bob Moog. Michelle Moog (@moogstress) reflects on the first moments she realized the impact her father had on the world, from watching him on TV as a kid to witnessing the connections he made with people firsthand. Happy Father’s Day from Moog Music.

Bob Moog was always amazed at how tools like the pitch wheel evolved once artists and performers got hold of them. Steve Dunnington, engineer and VP of product development at Moog, shares the same philosophy that it’s our job to build the tools—yours to turn them into your own unique voice. 🛠️ #BobMoog #Moog #synthhistory

Happy Birthday, Bob Moog! 🎈 We love this story told by @mmothersbaugh of @DEVO, remembering a moment with Bob performing live on TV with his band—theremin locked in, going full theatrical… and sounding incredible doing it! Here’s to the inventor, the performer, and the joy he put into every instrument.

In 1964, voltage control gave the filter a new role: movement. 〰️ 〰️ Not just carving harmonics, but shaping how they change over time — a key step toward synthesizing familiar sounds, and a gateway to entirely new ones.

For @danz_cm, the Minimoog Model D has always been more than just a synthesizer. Years after parting ways with her Voyager, getting the chance to travel to Asheville and build a Minimoog at the Moog factory became a full-circle moment. “There’s something alive about it,” she says. “It’s not clinical sounding. It has this warm 70s tone that makes you feel like you’re creating something important.” Watch the full video here: youtu.be/A0NwoOAWz0w #Moog #BobMoog #Minimoog
