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

58 seconds into Prince’s acoustic demo of “I Feel For You,” and you know that you’re listening to a hit song. But not only did Grammy Award winner Patrice Rushen turn down the piece when it was offered to her, Prince also opted to not release the song as a single when it appeared on his second solo album.

Fast forward nearly half a decade and David Frank of The System has been called into an overdub session for a Chaka Khan – the soulful singer known for fronting the band Rufus. Frank had performed with Chaka prior to getting the studio call.

“I had played a little bit with Chaka Kahn before and I knew that she had done (a version) of ‘We Can Work It Out’ and it had a very elaborate Minimoog bass part (that) I had learned note for note.”

Frank took his Model D down to the famed Atlantic Studios in New York City to help with the cover of “I Feel For You” that producer Arif Mardin was working up for the next Chaka Kahn solo album.

“He brought me because I had worked with Scritti Politti. And (System guitarist-vocalist) Mic Murphy and I had written another song that was going to be on Chaka’s album called ‘This Is My Night,’ so he wanted me to play on ‘I Feel For You.’ He came up with a bassline and he just had me program and play it.

What Frank added to Chaka’s version of the song was a ripping performance that gave simultaneously gave Prince’s simple song a tight dance floor edge that was as funky as it was modern. The song gave new life to the singer’s career and would remain on the Billboard Hot 100 for 26 weeks – peaking at a career-high of number three.
