	Synthesizer Information - moog synthesizer
		Synthesizers electric six synthesizer create sounds through direct manipulation of electrical voltages (as in analog synthesizers), mathematical manipulation of discrete values using computers (as in software synthesizers), or by a combination of both methods.
		Subtractive synthesizers use a simple acoustic model that assumes an instrument can be approximated by a simple signal generator (producing sawtooth waves, square waves, etc...) followed by a filter which represents the frequency-dependent losses and resonances in the instrument body.
		The Moog synthesizer even spawned a subculture of record producers who made novelty "Moog" recordings, depending on the odd korg triton le 76 note synthesizer - tritonle76 new sounds made by their synthesizers (which were not always Moog units) to draw attention and sales.

		Moog's synthesizer also boasted the voltage-controlled lowpass filter that came to be known as the Moog filter, capable of making a variety of full horn, string and vocal timbres.
		Moog's awards include the Silver Medal of the Audio Engineering Society; the Trustee's Award of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences; the Billboard Magazine Trendsetter's Award; and the SEAMUS award from the Society of Electroacoustic Music in the United States.
		Moog's newest project is an "interactive piano" that uses a touch screen the size of a laptop to take the place of sheet music.

		Moog and Scott maintained a social and professional relationship for 20 years — Moog's strong rapport with creative pioneers is a hallmark of his career.

	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.
		When it first hit the scene, the synthesizer was nothing short of revolutionary, and Pinch maintains that it is one of the greatest American inventions of the 20th century.
		Moog emerges as more that just an inventor, but a struggling entrepreneur whose business eventually tanked and was bought out by another company.

		One well known use of the synthesizer was in the 1971 movie A Clockwork Orange, in which Carlos wrote all the original music for the Moog, along with several Moog versions of classical music, creating a very eerie mood that was considered very successful at expressing the strange society of the movie.

		Bob Moog looked to the emitter resistance of balanced pairs of transistors -- the emitter resistance can be varied exponentially over a wide range and the symmetry of the balanced circuit cancels out most of the control signal and even-order harmonic distortion.
		Bob Moog probably noted that a filter for musical applications should have a steep slope (24 dB/oct in this case), should have the resonance adjustable without affecting the tuned frequency (and vice-versa), and that the resonance should be adjustable to oscillation.
		The biggest problem with a fully polyphonic synthesizer is the amount of circuitry required and the biggest problem with a custom chip is being able to manufacture it in sufficient volume to make it worth the development expense.

		The first synthesizers were modular, in that they were a group of modules that each performed a separate function.
		For the amplifier, the higher the control voltage, the larger the amplitude of the waveform was, and therefor the volume of the sound.
