Robert Moog, Synthesizer innovator dies at 71

Since no one has made any mention of this, I thought I would
go ahead and post it for those interested.  I strongly believe
his innovations in electronic music really paved the way for
how we use electronics and computers to produce and manipulate
music.

R.I.P. :-(

I beleive that Moog Prodigy was the name of the synthesizer that inspired Liam Howlett to name his band The Prodigy.

RIP Bob!

May they fit your casket with patch bays and rackmount you.

I believe the public memorial was today in Asheville.  I wonder
if they featured any "special" music for the service?

Probably... though it should be noted that the trademark Prodigy sound comes from three Roland W-30's
Oh, and I happen to have a W-30... :-D
