I can remember being in Mrs. Voscanion's music class in 5th or 6th grade..can't remember which. She was way ahead of me in terms of coolness. Well, I was a kid and she was an adult. But she introduced me to Styx, and to the Moog synthesizer. I can remember a desk full of black boxes and patch cables and a speaker system and was like "WTH is this supposed to be?" . When she started to play, well, that's the first exposure to synths I ever had. I'm glad it was that. I mean, Moog synths are where it all began.

After reading the list of contributors to the 700 program library, and learning more about a contest Eric Persing's company started (he's a crazy synth programmer among other things) I decided to give it a whirl.
There are a lot of libraries out there that try to come close to this library, but you just can't beat sampled Moogs which are then further processed by Omnisphere's Steam engine. There is a lot.. I mean A LOT of inspiring patches in the library. I've been at a standstill with finishing TM2, but with some adaptations, Bob's tribute library may have saved my collective ass.
So they are going to open a museum in Asheville, NC and no doubt stock it with examples, vintage gear, and exhibits related to the instrument that all of us keyboard players, whether we know it or not, owe our careers to.
My submission is in. Now lets see if I did any credit to the Moog legacy.
Best,
