		Moog walked into an elevator on his way to his Ph.D. defense and immediately became obsessed with the resonant frequency of the elevator: ''Bob started jumping up and down on the floor (and) somewhere between the fourth and fifth floors he hit the right frequency.
		Moog took off in rock as extended keyboard solos in songs by Manfred Mann, Yes, and Pink Floyd became part of the progressive sound of the 1970s.

		When Moog (rhymes with "vogue") unveiled the Moog music synthesizer in 1965, his engineering skills combined with a bit of business luck to radically change the way music was made.
		Growing up in the '40s in Flushing, Queens, Moog suffered the usual cruelties boys inflict on the smarter, more introverted members of their tribe: "I was the class brain," he recalled in one of several e-mail interviews.
		The Moog was modular: You used patch cords to select your waveform (the sound's timbre) and frequency (pitch), and plugged in the interface -- a keyboard, instead of the binary code on paper that had defined the first RCAs.

	Moog, who engineered a new rock sound, dies at 71
		Moog (which rhymes with "vogue") was, as a teenager in the early '50s, intrigued by the theremin, a simple electronic instrument played by waving your hands near two antennas, one controlling volume and the other pitch.
		Moog was later uncomfortable with his status as a cult hero, a position he achieved thanks to another instrument he introduced in 1964.
		Moog began making theremins again through a new company, Big Briar, but in 2002, he reacquired the right to sell instruments under his own name, and Moog Music began marketing a new version of the Minimoog called the Voyager, a futuristic moniker befitting its space-age sound (and its stellar price).

		Discussing his relationship with technology and the inspiration that spawns innovation, Moog remarks, "It's something between discovering and witnessing." He goes on to explain, "I can feel what's going on inside a piece of electronic equipment," and there is nothing in his voice that convinces you otherwise.
		However, as Moog's life is bound up with the invention he is most famous for, very few aspects of the synthesizer go unanalyzed.
		Equally interesting is the series of conversations Moog has with his fellow synthesizer pioneers and contemporaries from the early days of the instrument, including Jean Jacques Perrey, Walter Sear, and Herb Deutsch, and the difficulties that came with launching a new instrument in a conservative marketplace.

	In the Mood for Moog
		Before Moog, synthesizers were big and expensive experimental devices found only in research laboratories where work went on to create music electronically.
		Moog made them smaller and cheaper so that musicians recording in studios or performing on stage could use them.
		Moog’s company currently sells theremins and electronic instruments such as the Moogerfooger, an analog effects device that can impart a wide variety of synthesizer processing to musical instrument sounds.

	Book on Moog
		When Trevor Pinch came to Cornell in 1990, as an associate professor of science and technology studies, he had no idea that Robert Moog, the inventor of the Moog synthesizer, was a Cornell Ph.D. (1964) who had fine-tuned and manufactured the first commercial synthesizers in a nearby Trumansburg storefront from 1964 to 1971.
		Moog is now a cult hero for all sorts of pop and electronic musicians, and the story of the synthesizer has not been fully told."
		Moog emerges as more that just an inventor, but a struggling entrepreneur whose business eventually tanked and was bought out by another company.

		When he left, the Norlin people, in their infinite wisdom, decided the right way to select the president of Moog Music was to hire an industrial psychiatrist and give intelligence tests to four people: Luce, Gullo, sales manager, Neil Smith, and marketing manager Herb Deutsch [who, incidentally, had been with Bob Moog from the start].
