Sweet.
Many modern bands are leading an analog renaissance e.g. Chvrches.

I used a phaser plugged into the keyboard, great sound..! Nothing like the Moog or Mellotron, though..
Thanks for the post.
Ah...Those were the days! :-)
Wow. Thanks for posting this. Three years after this event, I was a freshman in college and my boyfriend’s roommate had about one fourth of his small bedroom full of this stuff. I’m sending this to my husband and one of our best friends who did this stuff then too (although I didn’t know them until about two years later. Also to my two sons who are musicians and use old school electronics in their music.
“Thousand times less powerful than a mobile phone app”?
I sort of know what they were trying to say but ignorant people should not write articles and make stupid statements like this. There is no mobile app or digital keyboard that can sound like a analog modular. It is primarily the fat filters, VCFs. Some expensive keyboards approximate but not that we’ll in my opinion. Even the new analog minimoogs don’t sound as fat as the old ones. Something about the transistor ladders that is cool.
There is re-emergence of modulars that now compete with Moog. It is an expensive hobby. Many trance artists have them. Takes about 3K to get started. It’s on my wish list.
Emerson, Lake and Palmer, yea baby!
Outstanding! Thanks.
Isao Tomita made a lot of great stuff. Favorite albums were
Pictures at an Exhibition and the Bermuda Triangle.

The first song I ever recall that used a Moog was The Beatles’ ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer.’
Hard to even imagine there having been an analog synthesizer in these digital days.
The real pioneers of this, as musicians, were John and Wendy Carlos.
What’s funny is that to obtain a recording of “Switched On Bach”, it is normal to pay in the ‘double to triple digits’!!!!
I saw a Moog being demonstrated at a noontime concert at the University of Southern California around 1975. That thing was a monstrosity.
My daughter and I bought a Sequential Circuits Pro One (think Depeche Mode) a few years back from another musician. Hanging on to it for awhile.
