Rejoice Moog Synthesizer Fans! It's Really True!

When Moog Music announced that the synthesizer Genome Project had created a replica of Keith Emerson's famous Moog Modular system on April 1st of this year, we all thought that it was just another of their little jokes. After all, the past two April Fool's Day offerings were complete frauds. But we were punked again. They weren't fooling this time. From the horse's mouth....

"Moog Music unveils one of its largest engineering undertakings, the new Emerson Moog Modular System. On the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the Moog Modular, the first voltage controlled synthesizer, Moog Music is proud to honor Keith Emerson and his seminal collaboration with Bob Moog. Today, for the first time at Moogfest 2014, Moog Music reveals its three year effort faithfully recreating the iconic Emerson Moog Modular."

"In the intervening 50 years since the advent of the first Moog synthesizer, people have steadily come to appreciate the power and flexibility of the early Moog modular systems. Now in 2014, 60 years after Bob Moog started his electronic musical instrument company, with great respect for the tradition, design, and craftsmanship of the original Moog modular systems, Moog Music proudly announces the recreation of arguably the most famous synthesizer in history--Keith Emerson’s Moog Modular System."

It's really true. It's really here. It's really expensive.
