Bob Moog is dead

[mdlbear]

Bob Moog didn't invent the synthesizer, as far as I know, (that honor arguably belongs to whoever invented the pipe organ with stops) but he had a tremendous amount to do with its modern development. I vividly remember the sound of "Switched On Bach", played by Walter (later Wendy) Carlos on a custom Moog synthesizer. He'll be missed.
