Moog synthesizer
The Moog synthesizer and other early designs of Dr. Robert Moog define the concept and, to a large degree, the sound of early synthesis.
Moog created his seminal modular synthesizer in the mid sixties, with the input of educator and composer Herbert Deutsch. Moog's modular synth defined the standardized blocks of music synthesis, including signal generating modules, like the voltage controlled oscillator; signal processing modules, like the voltage controlled filter; and control modules, including keyboards, low-frequency oscillators and sequencers.
Many of the ideas that originated in the first Moog synthesizers were repackaged in his later keyboards, including the Moog Minimoog, the Moog Taurus and the Polymoog.
Here are the most recent Synthtopia posts relating to the Moog synthesizer:

Klaus Schulze Live (1977)
This video captures Klaus Schulze performing live in 1977, during one of his early creative peaks.
It’s a fantastic video, wonderfully photographed. It captures Schulze performing on a wide variety of synthesizers, weaving together an extended synth jam that ranges from clangor to mellow textures to driving Berlin school sequences. As you watch it, it’s almost as if you’re peering over Schulze’s shoulder as he plays.

A Synth Tattoo Gallery
Synthgear has put together a gallery of synth tattoos, like this awesome monome tat and the Moog Minimoog tattoo, below.
If you’ve got an awesome synth tattoo, leave a link in the comments. If you’ve got a nasty photo of your half-naked hairy body sporting an irritated, splotchy tattoo, wait a week or two and take another picture.
And if one of these tats is yours, leave a comment with your synth tat story!
