We should all change our pronunciations of his name as well to show respect. For those that don't know (and I've never heard anyone pronounce his name right) the correct pronunciation is 'Moag', like 'moat' with a 'g', and not like 'Moo'-g, like a cow would say it... Dude was a hogg though so I gotta give him his props, he really did change the music industry... I've heard some VICIOUS leads come off of his machines. R.I.P.I.J.

Damn. His contributions to music are priceless. I may be wrong...but I dont think the speakers that were available back when he created his instruments couldn't even handle the output properly. Way ahead of his time.....and the speakers.

I was fortunate enough to meet him at AES in Frisco last October. He was truly an engineer, through and through. Seeing him talking about the Voyager is definately one of my high points.

Found about this last night. Rest In Peace to the man. He'll always be remembered through his synths though. Even if people can't pronounce the name right.

i was wondering why I saw no thread on the siccness about this.. Dude was an innovation to musical science... An escalator in the evolution of modern music as to a stepping stone. RIP.

Rest in peace, Bob Moog!

I had a micromoog but I had to sell it to pay the rent. I'm planning on getting the voyager when I can afford it though.
