RIP Robert Moog, inventor of the synthesizer

http://www.cbc.ca/story/arts/national/2005/08/22/Arts/moog_dead20050822.html

Robert A. Moog, the synthesizer pioneer who invented the Moog, has died at the age of 71.

Moog had been diagnosed with brain cancer in April. He received radiation treatment and chemotherapy, but died Sunday at his home in Asheville, outside Raleigh, N.C.

Moog (which rhymes with vogue) created and marketed the first commercial modular synthesizer in 1964, while studying engineering physics at Cornell University.
