The Minimoog is a legendary analog synthesizer, first manufactured by Moog Music in 1970. Designed as a more portable and affordable version of Moog's modular synthesizers, it quickly became the first synthesizer widely available in retail stores. Its powerful sound, achieved through three oscillators and a distinctive low-pass filter, made it a favorite among musicians across genres, from progressive rock and jazz to disco, pop, and electronic music, fundamentally changing the landscape of music production and performance.
