Welcome to the mini Moog factory!

This new digital experience celebrates synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog's legacy and the recent return of our beloved Minimoog Model D.

Drawing inspiration from ‘90s video games and websites, this interactive experience is designed to give you access to the rich history of electronic music through the lens of the Minimoog Model D. Discover the amazing musicians, songs, stories, and sounds that have shaped generations of music through apps and activities inspired by this iconic synthesizer and the artists who have embraced it.

Each facet of 

 was designed to bring visitors a joyful experience behind every digital door that leads to each new section of the site.

We are grateful to have had the opportunity to partner with multi-disciplinary, independently owned design studio 

 to bring this vision to life. Leading the project was Pentagram’s sound and experiential design visionary 

, who we previously collaborated with on the 

 back in 2016 for that year’s Moogfest.

With a passion for Moog synthesizers and the brand's legacy, Yuri was the perfect partner to celebrate the Model D's cultural impact. He and the hardworking teams at Pentagram and Counterpoint helped create an experience that allows visitors all over the world to discover the deep history and sound of the Moog world.



“Working on this web project for the past two years has been an incredible journey, as Moog has always been my top fascination. Their synthesizers' special sound and beautiful design hold a special place in my heart. I still vividly remember our first discussion years ago where we envisioned a web experience that celebrates the Minimoog Model D. Our goal was to craft a tightly interactive and fun experience that would capture the essence of Dr. Bob Moog and his team’s groundbreaking innovation.

Throughout the project, the collaboration has been tight-knit and extremely enjoyable. We have exchanged numerous ideas on how to make the introduction of this beautiful innovation both fun and captivating. I am grateful to everyone involved in this project for their hard work and dedication.

I invite you to visit the website and immerse yourself in the discovery of the Minimoog Model D—a true testament to the innovation and creativity of its creators.”

Sit back and watch the Minimoog in action. Grab your popcorn!

“Brian’s Back!” That was the word from Beach Boys HQ after it became clear within the group that they’re chief songwriter and spiritual flame Brian Wilson would be back in action in 1976. By mid-year they’re back in the Top 5 for the first time in almost a decade, and Wilson was able to return to the live stage with his bandmates just in time for the Bicentennial.

Things were trending so much in the right direction that Brian settled into the band’s Santa Monica studio to put together a record where he not only wrote most of the material, but where he played almost all the instruments himself - including the Minimoog the band had acquired.

“The Minimoog became our instrument of choice…that was our bass sound for a while during the Sunflower and Surf’s Up era.” singer/guitarist Al Jardine told Rock Cellar Magazine in 2013.

On the song “Roller Skating Child,” Brian places the Model front and center, where it is the most prominent sound on the track apart from the Beach Boys lockstep harmonies. The freedom Brian had to work extensively with synthesizers was a reflection of how appreciative Carl and Dennis Wilson were to have their brother back at the helm.

“The Beach Boys Love You was the most amazing recording. In a way it was Carl’s tribute to Brian. The title of that album is really The Beach Boys Love Brian. Carl wanted Brian to feel appreciated…(and) the Minimoogs are all over the place.”
