\"\"<\/a>I know, horrible title, but I just could not resist.\u00a0 As you have been seeing all over the news, Google’s latest doodle is a working simplified Moog synthesizer.\u00a0 WORKING synthesizer.\u00a0 For those of us that are old enough, and were in bands, will remember playing with these at one point in time.\u00a0 My mirage digital synth even had a Moog mode to allow me to recreate many of these sounds.\u00a0 Awesome.\u00a0 Now you too can me a Moog’er by playing with this doodle.\u00a0 First a few tips to get you going. The synthesizer is fully functional including the oscillator, filter and envelope controls, and even supports multi-track recording.<\/p>\n

* FIRST: Click on the doodle to activate<\/p>\n

* To change the dial settings, click on the dial and move your mouse up and down, not left to right.<\/p>\n

* To play use the middle keys on your keyboard (a, s, d,f g, ..) for the white.\u00a0 This will start at C<\/p>\n

* You can play lower 4th using the top row of keys (q,w,e,r,…) The kit the lowest key, click on ‘tab’<\/p>\n

* The number will get you the black keys.<\/p>\n

You can use the Moog synthesizer to record and share as well.\u00a0 You can share your creations directly to Google+ or grab a Google short URL to share it pretty much anywhere online.<\/p>\n
