A tribute to the father of modern synthesizers: this is the theme of today’s Google Doodle dedicated to Robert Moog. Here’s how to operate it and share your jam session.
Another new Google Doodle, this time dedicated to the world of music but with a significant electronic component: on Wednesday, May 23rd, you can try your hand at playing the synthesizer dedicated to Robert Moog.
If this name doesn’t ring a bell for many, everyone has likely heard sounds derived from his invention: it was he, in 1963, who conceived a unique keyboard instrument capable of synthesizing sounds and giving them special effects.
The synthesizer then revolutionized music, launching the progressive music genre while also contributing unique sounds to pop and rock.
By visiting Google’s homepage, you can operate the synthesizer, clicking with your mouse cursor on the piano keys and adjusting the knobs that control mixer levels, filters, and other components.
After a few attempts to find the right rhythm, you can start a recording by pressing the button with the red dot on the right side of the Doodle.
To listen to the result, simply select the Play button, also on the right side.
It’s also possible to share the created track on Google+ or generate a link to use on other social networks, blogs, websites, or via email.
