About the Minimoog
The first portable synthesizer. Designed by Bob Moog and Bill Hemsath. Three oscillators and a filter. Over 12,000 units sold. Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, and Bernie Worrell defined its sound. The fat bass tones are still unmatched by software. The most iconic synthesizer ever built.
