The Screen Savers: History of The Moog Synthesizer

Segments like this one are really what made TSS so great. Dr. Robert Moog explains his Moog synthesizer and the Etherwave Theremin, an instrument that you have to see to believe.

Thanks for sharing this. I wish The Screen Savers was still around.
"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.
What a fine, down-to-earth gentleman Dr. Moog was! May he rest in peace.
RIP Dr. Moog
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...

He was an atheist. Like most designers.
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.
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.
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.
This was a great show, let TSS and Dr. Robert Moog RIP.
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.
Dr.Moog was a genius, a pioneer, and a legend. Rest in peace, Mr.Moog, Rest in peace.
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.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. MOOG!!!!!! :)
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...
probably the coolest grandpa known to mankind
Yes it is, but due to the nature of analogue circuitry the results from a vst may be unsatisfactory at times.
"They feel good to play." Jewel dropped Dr Moog. RIP!
Dr. Moog was such a sweet person. Oh, and a genius.
"Don't you go trying this at home now," : ) Miss Bob Moog, and TSS
He was the best. RIP Robert Moog.
Full respect to this man. Period.
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.
RIP Mr.Moog. you Revolutionized music.
Thank you for "the Good techno," made with analogue synths!!!
OH MY GOD I REMEMBER THIS GEEK ASS SHOW
RIP Doc, we miss you.
Great clip. I certainly agree with what he said about digital synthesizers.
Cool segment. Seems like a really cool show.
this guy is, or was, so cool for a man his age. I wish he were my grandfather or something.
This is such a good video
I miss TSS so much
i miss TSS so much
R. I. P. Dr. Moog.
Dr R Moog=Pioneer!
The song "Good Vibrations" used a thermin.
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!
Dr. Moog, what a badass!
RIP Mr.Moog
What a genuinely nice guy!
bob moog is my hero.
I like that the interviewer keeps mentioning P Funk!
Not only that he was the father of the synth, but the father of electronic music. Kesha should be thankful for him . :))
R.I.P. robert moog
i love synthesizers
very nice video
I have a few emulators and I love them but they are noting compared to the warmth of the real thing. MOOG= LEGEND!
You can build a tube Theremin using components from a tube radio.
RESPECT...
Excuse me, but "Good Vibrations" actually used a _Tannerin_.
What a cool guy.
yea, didn't find that out till after I posted, my bad
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.
Arturia Mini Moog is fantastic.
i need that stuff... fkn awsome
I agree on that for sure.
RIP Bob Moog
Are The BEach Boys using a theremin in Good Vibrations?
I miss TechTV so much!
the master himself
he's so awkward and awesome.
Why did he kind of dodge the question when asked what he's working on?
read an excellent book on Moog called 'Analog Days' by Pinch and Trocco
google should make a doodle for this guy
i totally agree... "neat"
was that rachmaninoffs vocalise he played on the theramin?
I saw one of the guys from depeche mode using that thing on youtube!!! 6:00
Wow...That guy was cool.
To my best knowledge they did...
Here's a fun drinking game, take a shot every time Patrick says "very cool." Sure to get you wasted.
Holy shit!!!! an Air Violin!!!

your comment is so old!
God I miss TechTV AND America's Talking (tv channel)
This guy was like the reincarnation of Nikola Tesla!!! I want to build a theremin now!!!
I work right next door to the moog studios in NC, I envy not working there.
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
Really miss the screen savers, shame crappy g4 ruined it :(
ooh megamang...you can remember 2 or 3 years ago...what are you? seven years old?

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