	Robert Moog - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		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.

		While not the first synthesizer (such had been invented in 1955 by the RCA company), Moog's designs were very good.
		His synthesizers used real keyboards, a great advantage over competing models; the Moog III sported two keyboards (five octaves each) and a number of different ways to modulate sound -- pitch, timbre, decay, etc. Among early adopters of his instruments were The Monkees, and Wendy Carlos with Switched-On Bach.
		Moog was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme (brain tumor) on 28th April 2005, and died in August of that year.
