Analogue designs have gone in and out of favour several times now, but analogue has always been Moog’s focus, which makes sense given the company’s founding all the way back in 1963. But when Moog announced their semi-modular Mother-32 synthesiser back in (2015), few people probably guessed it was the beginning of a new line of products completely.
The fact that Moog is still improving and adapting is impressive already. It would almost be easier to compile a list of musicians that haven’t used a Moog than a list of Moog users, as the company’s DNA has been entangled with that of popular music since the early ’60s. Robert Moog’s early designs were among the first modular synths ever, and after Moog synths got into the hands of Bernie Worrell, Stevie Wonder, Sun Ra, and more, music history was changed forever. Instruments like the Voyager, Sub and Little Phatty and their now discontinued line of MF Moogerfooger pedals have already been much loved for years, but Moog surprised many with the announcement of the Mother-32.
