Talk:Minimoog

message: I'm doing a little research on the minimoog and the book "Analog Days" by Pinch and Trocco(2002) suggests that it was Bill Hemsath and Jim Scott, two engineers working for Moog in 1969, who developed the Minimoog. It also says that David van Koevering was resposible for the marketing of the Minimoog, not its invention. I understand that the release date for the Minimoog model D was 1970. Hope this is useful!

replies: text: Way after the fact - MoogMusic's website states the Minimoog (model D) was introduced in 1970. This would be understood as release date for sale to the general public. Hemsath had come with the prototype during his 'lunch hour' at Moog using bits and pieces of discarded items he found in the factorys attic. It is true that Van Koevering was the one who successfully marketed the Minimoog and became a vice president at Moog. Scott was also deeply involved with the Minis development, but so were many other engineers and employees at Moog. Pinch & Trocco suggest from the info they gathered interviewing these, and other folks, that it was truly a team of individuals that lead to the final version of the Minimoog.

message: Had the article on my watch list for a while and let this one slide but, finally... the Essential recordings section appears wholly subjective as it stands. I happen to agree with most of the selections and it looks like others do too since it hasn't been subjected to much editing, however calling anything an 'essential' recording is editorialising unless we can provide some backup citations from books or articles. I propose a one-month moratorium while anyone who's interested in keeping the section as it is finds at least one citation backing the 'essential Minimoog recording' appellation of each of the items otherwise the item, or the list as a whole, goes.

replies: text: I agree about the "Essential Recordings". I say dump it or merge it into "Usage". However, I don't think the usage list should completely go, I can't imagine it getting too incredibly long. --24.205.251.41 21:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Sources for these claims would be interesting.  Sources I'm familiar with, including Wikipedia itself. credit the EMS Synthi A and/or VCS3 for the synth sounds on Dark Side of the Moon and "Welcome to the Machine."  I've never seen any indication Rick Wright used a Moog 55 with Pink Floyd.  The Moraz claim seems iffy given that when he toured with Yes he used 2 regular Minimoogs and a custom double Minimoog onstage. Tim gueguen (talk) 06:06, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
