Brand New Google Doodle


Brand New Google Doodle
Just go to your Google page and play around with it.  It seems to be a large range of things to play with the keyboard.  The page is in celebration of the late creator of the Moog Synthesizer (Not to be confused with a Moogle from Final Fantasy). 
From CS Monitor, ((Google is using their homepage today to celebrate what would have been the 78th birthday of Robert "Bob" Moog, the inventor of the eponymous Moog synthesizer,  an electronic musical instrument that would change the sound of popular music forever. ))
Without him, there wouldn't other people inventing instruments like the Blaster Beam. Moog created his own version of the Theremin also. From Wiki, ((Moog constructed his own theremin as early as 1948. Later he described a theremin in the hobbyist magazine Electronics World and offered a kit of parts for the construction of theElectronic World's Theremin, which became very successful. In the late 1980s Moog repaired the original theremin of Clara Rockmore, an accomplishment which he considered a high point of his professional career.  ))

This has been fun to play around with! But eventually it reminds me that I have no musical talent whatsoever.

Nice, I think I played a few scales and tunes I remembered. I'll probably play around with this more.

I still play the pacman Google Doodle
