It was 1964, Dr. Robert Moog introduced the world to a conceptually new instrument, destined to mark the musical history and design of electronic instruments for decades to come. The Moog modular synthesizer was a set of electronic modules housed in a wooden structure capable of using voltage-control to create incredible sounds never heard before.
After his audio debut Engineering Society (AES) the spread and popularity of the Moog modular they were constantly growing. For musicians, Moog was soon synonymous with synthesizer. Keith Emerson, keyboardist of the band Emerson Lake and Palmer, adopted the Modular taking it on tour around the world and making it the most recognizable synthesizer of all time.
It's October 12th 2014, Moog is again Audio Engineering Society to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the historic synth by presenting a “new” Modular, faithful and passionate reproduction of what was Emerson. It is theEmerson Moog Modular System (EMMS), duplication almost painstaking of what Mr. Emerson's Modular was. All modules ofemms they are built exactly as the originals were in the Moog factory in Trumansburg, New York, in 1960: soldering of components on motherboards and manual assembly, traditional wiring. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary, Moog has published a mini-documentary which traces the path of Moog musical research, original materials and design through the words of engineers, historians and Bob Moog himself. “It is a dream that has come true for us to reproduce these instruments that have made the history and popularity of our company with sound and design faithful to the originals. What makes it even more special is the presentation at AES 2014, where visitors can try out the new Emerson Moog Modular System after 50 years, again ”he says. Brian kehew, historian Moog. The world's most famous synthesizer will be exhibited in module 1028 at the 137th AES Convention in Los Angeles on October 12, 2014. It is the first time it has been shown in public since the inauguration of the Moogfest 2014. Five will be built Emerson Moog Modular Systems Moog but of these only one is still available for purchase. You still have time to give yourself a gift! $150,000 dollars to book a piece of history !!
