The Screen Savers: History of The Moog Synthesizer

[@frozinarosie]

Such a humble,kind,intelligent man.I had a heavy heart whilst watching this.Your legacy will continue to bring joy and teach people about the fascinating world of sound.Every time I have fun playing my keyboard,it's possible because of your life long dedication to all things analogue.Thank you Bob.

[@GNeuman]

God Bless, Dr. Bob..Thank you for your contribution to music, ground-breaking...I hope you're teaching those harp-playing angels the benefits of playing a Minimoog...

[@morbidmanmusic]

He was an atheist. Like most designers.

[@postingoldtapes]

Thanks for sharing this. I wish The Screen Savers was still around.

[@clavdig]

It's so nice to see Bob on TV still enthusiastic and loving telling us about them. It makes me sad that he would pass away the year after. RIP Bob, a gentleman and pioneer.

[@madamerotten]

What a fine, down-to-earth gentleman Dr. Moog was! May he rest in peace.

[@jjooyyll]

So grateful for the genius behind this cite. I found you because of the simple desire to understand the meaning of "theremin," a word new to me in a music review in my paper newspaper. Hello Google. I've been hearing theremins on soundtracks for decades. My first child was born in 1965, by the way.

[@acousvnt]

I'm glad this Screen Savers clip exists, because it's like a condensed version of the highlights from Bob Moog's interviews on the Moog DVD.

[@TheSwillMan]

"It's just fun to play. It just feels good. There's a connection between the player and the instrument which goes beyond something that can be explained with physical theories. It's in the spiritual world." That is the best ever explanation of why analog synthesizers are so appealing, and of course it comes from Moog himself.

[@ReDRuM868]

This was a great show, let TSS and Dr. Robert Moog RIP.

[@rockerzac99]

Dr.Moog was a genius, a pioneer, and a legend. Rest in peace, Mr.Moog, Rest in peace.

[@Breakbeats92.5]

I can't afford a real Mini so I got Arturia's Mini Moog VST. Hard to believe that a synthesizer this old is still so versatile.

[@zero2kx]

I miss TSS so much

[@planetX15]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. MOOG!!!!!! :)

[@Iofflight78]

I had a dream I died and the one thing I wanted to take with me was my synthesizers (sad I know). I'm still praying there are synths in heaven (or at least a synth harp) hopefully with Dr. Moog there his work will continue on...

[@4darin5]

Cool segment. Seems like a really cool show.

[@francislalan]

Full respect to this man. Period.

[@Tazz77]

Great clip. I certainly agree with what he said about digital synthesizers.

[@ScarletKnights]

The Screensavers was such an awesome show! They had cool informative segments like this all the time. I really miss TechTV. Once G4 took over, everything that was good on that channel was destroyed forever.

[@MEGAMANG]

OH MY GOD I REMEMBER THIS GEEK ASS SHOW

[@Ariamaluum]

The song "Good Vibrations" used a thermin.

[@HammondB200]

probably the coolest grandpa known to mankind

[@francogenio]

RIP Mr.Moog. you Revolutionized music.

[@Cambaudio]

He was the best. RIP Robert Moog.

[@macfrankist]

Thank you for "the Good techno," made with analogue synths!!!

[@Victheremin]

Dr. Moog was such a sweet person. Oh, and a genius.

[@douro20]

You can build a tube Theremin using components from a tube radio.

[@Cambaudio]

"Don't you go trying this at home now," : ) Miss Bob Moog, and TSS

[@L33tP1ckL]

RIP Doc, we miss you.

[@Breakbeats92.5]

Yes it is, but due to the nature of analogue circuitry the results from a vst may be unsatisfactory at times.

[@BornTV]

"They feel good to play." Jewel dropped Dr Moog. RIP!

[@CHESEABUN]

Dr R Moog=Pioneer!

[@Fantaz21]

very nice video

[@BobbyEaston]

I like that the interviewer keeps mentioning P Funk!

[@BobbyDuwitz]

this guy is, or was, so cool for a man his age. I wish he were my grandfather or something.

[@evanrkg]

RIP Dr. Moog

[@akryllic000love]

This is such a good video

[@Terribleguitarist89]

yea, didn't find that out till after I posted, my bad

[@buddyeagle]

R. I. P. Dr. Moog.

[@gordrum]

Dr. Moog, what a badass!

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Excuse me, but "Good Vibrations" actually used a _Tannerin_.

[@2real2btold]

does anybody remenber of hearing theremin sounds on scoobydoos cartoons on the scary moments.. lol moog love it.. simply the coolest. original stuff.. that's creativity.

[@vampin6]

I saw one of the guys from depeche mode using that thing on youtube!!! 6:00

[@TheKuinton]

What a genuinely nice guy!

[@23Henrich]

read an excellent book on Moog called 'Analog Days' by Pinch and Trocco

[@djmusicjac]

i love synthesizers

[@thejonlord]

RIP Mr.Moog

[@JamesPresley]

Arturia Mini Moog is fantastic.

[@RobotTickleFight]

bob moog is my hero.

[@JamesPresley]

I agree on that for sure.

[@marshallkiller]

Are The BEach Boys using a theremin in Good Vibrations?

[@shapehazy]

i need that stuff... fkn awsome

[@stelian95]

Not only that he was the father of the synth, but the father of electronic music. Kesha should be thankful for him . :))

[@giascle]

Why did he kind of dodge the question when asked what he's working on?

[@WARDISWARD]

R.I.P. robert moog

[@culturaleyes]

what an awesome episode. on a side note, this was back when tech tv-type programming was good. it's a shame they merged into G4 (which was also better at that time) and turned into this awkward trendy wannabe channel that is G4 today. nonetheless, I'm glad this video exists and thanks for uploading it!

[@kingklabe]

I have a few emulators and I love them but they are noting compared to the warmth of the real thing. MOOG= LEGEND!

[@fredturd]

ooh megamang...you can remember 2 or 3 years ago...what are you? seven years old?

[@GEOLEK]

RESPECT...

[@NationalSOCIOgraphic]

What a cool guy.

[@rohanhaggart]

was that rachmaninoffs vocalise he played on the theramin?

[@straightupwv]

I miss TechTV so much!

[@Caligula138]

i totally agree... "neat"

[@studio7tahiti]

RIP Bob Moog

[@gitarreundeffekte]

the master himself

[@GuidelineSalt]

I work right next door to the moog studios in NC, I envy not working there.

[@scarymcclary]

he's so awkward and awesome.

[@djraptorx]

Here's a fun drinking game, take a shot every time Patrick says "very cool." Sure to get you wasted.

[@CandyPants627]

Wow...That guy was cool.

[@Terribleguitarist89]

To my best knowledge they did...

[@igggnacio]

google should make a doodle for this guy

[@JoelMoralesEscobar]

hahaha! you noticed it too? Everything is 'Very Cool' right before another question

[@RodCornholio]

God I miss TechTV AND America's Talking (tv channel)

[@thiagotecnico]

Holy shit!!!! an Air Violin!!!

[@maxviviani9042]

your comment is so old!

[@beaverman3001]

Really miss the screen savers, shame crappy g4 ruined it :(

[@NeonFoxLetsPlays]

@stelian95 Kesha shouldn't be allowed anywhere NEAR a Moog.

[@TheJugglingJohn]

I miss eyedrops...

[@Trombonauta]

that's not synths, they're Theremins, I want one!

[@morbidmanmusic]

Both items where there. Therimin and a keyboard.

[@rexpearson]

If could have a dollar for every pixel on this video id have.....$1 ;)

[@Dulcimerist]

This guy was like the reincarnation of Nikola Tesla!!! I want to build a theremin now!!!

[@komapiro]

初音ミクがいるのもDr R Moogのお陰なのだね。 ありがとうDr R Moog

[@papahuge]

PHAT!!

[@ReturnOfTheStienway]

did not expect to hear rachmaninoff =)

[@amphitheatre]

I wish TechTV was still awesome. Or still existed at all.

[@jamaldominicbarr7379]

tech tv ruled!

[@papahuge]

cheaper solution get a midi controller and vst instruments on a computer, or get a Minimoog Voyager, its Phat :D

[@FlaminBean1234]

GEE WIZZ I can't speak today!

[@Pied777]

P Funk !!

[@stingintl]

WICKED!!!

[@victorandrada]

[@kagenooni]

Why are there 10 dislikes for this video? Trolls?

[@bmo_ri]

[@kybo61]

[@MEGAMANG]
