"It wasn’t always like this. In fact, it was 50 years ago this year
that, in 1964, a man by the name of Bob Moog unveiled a synthesizer of a
very different sort. Called the Moog Modular, it is regarded as one of
the first. Though Moog wouldn’t officially advertise his creation as a
synthesizer until 1966, that’s precisely what it was—an array of
electronic modules that Moog designed, often controlled via keyboard,
and connected to one another with a bird's nest of cables that, somehow,
produced weird musical sounds unlike anything anyone had heard before."
A decent Moog retrospective.
