A Brief History of the Minimoog, 1970s

[Nv3n0m]

Genious

[CHanfordB]

makes the best sound ever!

[SuperHikerman]

sweet now do one about the emu sp1200!!!!

[RyouRan]

God, those two hands suddenly popping that mac into view really cracked me up. I love this video.

@WhoresOfBabylon: It's not US presenters only. Dutch voice actors pronounce EVERYTHING with a (mispronounced) English accent, especially oriental words.

[ttJinn]

0:36 I don't know who you are? Without a doubt, Microsoft Sam.

[Tweekerhead]

The pecking order is God, Moog, then Jan Hammer, then all the rest.

[cicerocezimbra]

RUSHHHHHHHH

[IAmBound]

This was at the top of the list when I searched "Funk" on youtube.

[Adoniram1986]

@IAmBound Really? In what country are you at?

[eexot]

Who would have thought......a promoted video that's interesting and relevant to my interest.

[kurfield]

In the begining God created the Synthpop

[pabdc99]

Moog? Spelled Moog but pronounce Mogue? Oddness.

[WhoresOfBabylon]

@pabdc99 Yep that`s American presenters for you I`ve heard it on other posts too ! someone should ask them what sound a cow makes ? they will say `Moo`, then ask them to put a `g` on the end of that, problem solved, maybe. You should hear how US presenters pronounce well known French phrases too, it`s shockingly dumb ! ! heh heh

[DX7Alex]

@WhoresOfBabylon I think that Moog Music, Inc knows how to correctly pronounce the name of their founder...

[kinstube]

N!!!CE

[rcmeyerson]

Anyone want to trade a moog liberation for my rhodes?

[fivequotes]

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

[goldmoogle]

[LDUKMusic]

Amazing. Truly truly amazing.

[iamyourfuture808]

This is cool film. 

[candyfunk]

Excellent documentation of such an influential creation ;O) Cheers for posting this

[FunnyVideoCollector]

Three people are guitar players that can't go to 11.

[TheElectroHoneys]

Great video BTW !

[tothestarsandback1]

[OhNoxius]

@thelilymoore Return To Forever. Chick Corea is the pianist.

[iamyourfuture808]

[newengland72]

6:45 Manufacturing Driven Production; A thing of beauty, a thing of the past.

[HelloNewYorkCity]

1971 was also when the clockwork orange was released as a film, with a score by wendy carlo's which used the moog modular.

[neogeo53]

God I wish I could do my work experience at Moog it would be so great!

[sardhouse76]

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mortifago]

Excellent documentary! I like the music you put in the background... i know the music is made by "Jojo Herman", can anyone tell me the name of that theme/song?

[studio7tahiti]

this is the ultimate vintage synth

got mine since 1996 and i love it

[fooloof]

Is Mr. Hemsath a storyteller or what? I would watch an entire DVD of him relating his experiences.

[FabHours]

i have a mini moog vst :)

[AlainHubert]

So, it's actually the brainchild of Bill Hemsath, that got approved by Bob Moog after ?

Interesting. Thanks a million, Bill!

[pleximanic]

Jan Hammer OWNS Mini Moog!

[studio7tahiti]

you rock Bill tks for the minimoog

[Norwidful]

Czeslaw Niemen also played the Moog Group of Polish "AEROLIT" and the American group "Mahavishnu Orchestra"

[Jesuselpacifo]

Could someone tell me where I could find a moog amp, like the one shown at 3:22 ?

Looks really cool.

[ultimatenerd22]

Who is that guy?

[MrGeorgePickering]

Great 'burns at 4:01, Dr. Moog!

[Aidanloveskeyboards]

@danceofthedruids I am jealous. Sure im 14, but that doesn't mean I cant have a moog. I may be getting an MG 1, though.

[AlainHubert]

@Aidanloveskeyboards

The MG-1 was my first "Moog" synth, and I loved it ! You won't be disappointed, if you can find one that had the dreaded "foam of death" already removed.

[danceofthedruids]

Very nicely done video history! Own two Model D's and three Voyagers plus most of the pedals and a signed Theremin .... awesome stuff and addicting. Linda said they went with my suggestion for a chorus pedal ... they did it and its a monster pedal! Peace!

[fooloof]

@danceofthedruids: what years are your Ds?

[freedumb2003]

Wow -- just wow

[djmusicjac]

i like 2.50 gary numan

[sregnathan]

best and informative....

[vierdiez]

Wow,wow,wow,wow!!!

[weednlogic]

Great video regarding the great works of Mr. Moog and his excellent staff of engineers, but failed to include much about the person that really put these synths to the greatest use in live performance. Keith Emerson of course. The greatest keyboard player ever. Thank you, Mr. Emerson for everything. Kent from Iowa.

[ysuzuki1773]

I like the Synthesizer and keith Emerson.

I have played like his playing style  for 30 years.

please show me from japan.

My name is SUZUKI. You will have a fun.

[RGAF1987]

So THAT'S where that sound from Bob Marley's "Stir It Up" came from!

[faketeak]

And of course Kraftwerk are also using a MkI ARP Odyssey. One of which we have.

[ShilohPepBand]

"Hello, you don't know who I am, and really, why would that matter when I am surrounded by such elegant machines such as these." lol

[NoobyGuyTing]

skrillex brought me here?

[MrUtster]

RIP bob moog mini Moogs and all moogs are awesome!!

[kaizokuhousou]

I also Love moog sound!!

[64mung]

Love the Moog sound!!!

[kingofkeyboards]

I want to see a feature length doc on this instrument although this was superb! :) Long live the mini!

[Synthiefrau]

the Minimoog is the best Synth over the world. I love my 78 Mini.

[ZugbruckMusik]

But did it go to eleven? Yes, yes it did.

[mima14031985]

Great video!

[WIDRMusic]

Anyone the first tune that plays in this video? I love it

[str3123]

1 person uses vst's

[hunkydoryorder]

Synth. key board back in 1990 would have set me back 900 punts/Irish pounds.. I was googling over and playing one every time I passed through a particular town hitch-hiking.

I'd be a more renowned individual now if it was a little more affordable. Alas.

[yumeganai]

Solid

[TomBrislinMusic]

1 person prefers a DX7.

[hiltonius]

@TomBrislinMusic muckraker! LOL

[Trondoc]

@TomBrislinMusic Who's that?

[TR0jAX]

@TomBrislinMusic Nah, he prefers a VST

[cprostudio]

great doc, i am proud to own my mini, voyager and prodigy

[fooloof]

@cprostudio: why do you have a mini and a voyager? and if you had to choose between, which?

[genshi86]

@cprostudio yes yes...we are all jealous.. lol nooo i seriousely am!!! no sarcasm.

[randomeddie]

Excellent post! I get all misty-eyed when I watch things like this. It's amazing how this assortment of tech geeks spearheaded an entire musical movement...

[carpeteria]

Nicely done. I could watch hours of that stuff, so feel free to make more on my behalf whenever you have the time. Thanks.

[Motojournalism]

It's all about the elbow patches.

[rongrantga]

I owned one back in the 70's. It sat on top of the Hammond B3. Ah the good old days!

[xxdyogas1]

Great it is my favorite instrument

[FaridYahyaoui]

THX for this Upload ! Great mini-doc :)

[baward]

This excellent film is the type of thing I hoped the 2004 'Moog' feature documentary would be - but wasn't.

[thehside]

Just like the Mini Moog, so much packed in so little space!

Awesome mini doc! :D

[thebenallen]

Wow, this was a really great mini-doc! Very heart warming for us folks that feel an intimate connection to these machines. Keep doing what you all do, someday I hope to own a Moog Voyager so that I may fly into space.
