About Moog

Moog Music, founded by Bob Moog in 1953, built the instruments that defined synthesizer sound. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, the company pioneered voltage-controlled synthesis and created the ladder filter that still shapes electronic music today. Every Moog synthesizer is hand-built in the US, using analog circuits that deliver warmth, punch, and character digital emulations can't match. The Minimoog Model D set the standard for monophonic synthesis in 1970. The Moog One represents the pinnacle of modern polyphonic design. Between those landmarks sits a range of instruments that balance classic architecture with contemporary workflow.

Moog - The Sound of Analog Synthesis

Semi-Modular Synthesizers

Moog's semi-modular line gives you patchable synthesis without requiring a full modular rig. The Mother-32 and DFAM (Drummer From Another Mother) are compact, self-contained instruments with internal signal paths and front-panel patch points. You can play them out of the box or rewire their architecture with patch cables. The Subharmonicon takes a different approach, using subharmonic generators and polyrhythmic sequencers to create complex, evolving patterns. These instruments work standalone or integrate into Eurorack systems. They're built for hands-on exploration, not menu diving.

Analog Synthesizers

The Minimoog Model D remains the reference standard for monophonic analog synthesis. Its three oscillators, 24dB ladder filter, and direct signal path create bass and lead sounds that cut through any mix. The Subsequent series refines that formula with extended range, increased modulation options, and modern build quality. The Moog One is a different beast entirely: an eight-voice polyphonic synthesizer with three oscillators per voice, dual filters, and a modulation matrix that rivals modular systems. It's the most powerful production synthesizer Moog has ever built, designed for players who need polyphony without compromise.

Modular Synthesizers and Cases

Moog's modular systems follow the Eurorack standard, making them compatible with thousands of third-party modules. The company manufactures powered cases in various sizes, from compact 60HP skiffs to full 104HP systems. These cases use Moog's proprietary power supplies, known for clean voltage regulation and low noise. The modular format lets you build a custom synthesis environment, one module at a time. Moog's own modules focus on core functions: oscillators, filters, envelopes, and utilities. They're designed to work together but integrate seamlessly with other manufacturers' gear.

Theremin

Moog builds the Etherwave and Claravox theremins, continuing a lineage that dates back to Bob Moog's earliest work in the 1950s. The Claravox is the most advanced theremin ever produced, with CV outputs, MIDI implementation, and onboard effects. It's a performance instrument and a modular control source. The Etherwave offers classic theremin sound in a more accessible package. Both instruments use the same principle: two antennas control pitch and volume through the player's hand position in space. It's one of the few instruments you play without touching.
