on 8/2/2008 Hi Dan, just thought you might want to know that "Moog" is pronounced "M-oh-g" (rhymes with "vogue" or "rogue"). Dr. Moog pronounced it that way himself, so out of respect we probably ought not alter his preferred pronunciation of his name. :-)

Nice series you got here... What other gear do you own? Interested in selling any of it?

Video Transcript

"My name is Dan Rapport. Today we are going to be talking about analog synthesizers. Two performance controls of the analog synthesizers and usually found on most analog synthesizers are the pitch bend wheel and the modulation wheel. The pitch bend obviously controls the pitch of the oscillators as we will hear an example of, and this particular keyboard can be controlled to go up a minor third, major third, up an octave, up two octaves, down two octaves, really whatever you want. The other control is the modulation wheel, which controls the settings in the modulation busses. In this case we have a sine wave LFO. "
