Explaining the basics of the Minimoog Model D reissue.

This is the Minimoog Model D raffled off from the Bob Moog Foundation in June of 2024. It is signed by Jordan Rudess.

I mispronounced "Minimoog" the first time. It's an old habit because, back in the old days we really didn't know how it was pronounced here in the midwest.
I may have also misrepresented the "decay" phase of the sound envelope. It actually kicks in after the "attack" phase. I said that it comes in when the envelope peaks.

Damn, that is the coolest raffle of all time! Congrats....

[@jginnever]

Thanks man. I agree!

Aww man, I was really hoping to win this one. I’d love to own a Minimoog, but after years of buying way too much music gear, I just can’t justify the spend (especially when I’m out of space)
Hope it brings you lots of joy!

I'm in the same boat. Got lots of equipment and nowhere to put it. But there's always room for a Minimoog.

I don't like to be that guy, but in Americanized pronunciation, Moog rhymes with rogue.

I mentioned the mispronunciation in the description. I actually pronounced it two different ways in the video.

@@jginnever I guess it just hit me badly. I understand subtractive basics well enough that the whole video might be surperfluous, but I when I heard that pronunciation, my knee jerked. I'm sorry if it seems an overreaction.
FWIW, my first experience listening to Moog equipment live (my father had a copy of Switched on Bach already) was when Chris Swanson gave a recital at my local high school auditorium with a three stack modular system. I wish I had a tape of that now as I was too young to give it the appreciation it deserved.

@@christopheroliver148 I'm a stickler for pronouncing Moog the proper way too. But, as I said in the description, no one around here really knew how to pronounce it when Bob Moog came into the spotlight. So I mispronounced it for a good decade or more before I heard the proper pronunciation. My old, improper pronunciation just comes out sometimes.
I bought the Switched on Bach album as soon as it came out. I don't know which I discovered first, that album or the movie "A Clockwork Orange". They were both done by Wendy Carlos. So I guess I've been coveting a Moog for more than 50 years now.
