Spectrasonics launched a multi-faceted tribute to honor the legacy of synthesizer pioneer Dr. Robert Moog.
The company released a new Bob Moog Tribute Library created for Omnisphere, and kicked off a contest designed around the library, where participants enter to win the one-of-a-kind “OMG-1” hardware synthesizer created by Eric Persing.
Bob Moog Tribute Library
Produced by Eric Persing, the Bob Moog Tribute library features 700 new sounds for Omnisphere, Spectrasonics’ synthesizer virtual instrument. The sounds in the library were created by about 40 synth artists, remixers and sound designers, including Hans Zimmer, Vince Clarke (Erasure/Depeche Mode), Jean Michel Jarre, The Crystal Method, Jordan Rudess, Money Mark (Beastie Boys/Beck), Bernie Worrell (P-Funk/Talking Heads), Larry Fast (Peter Gabriel/Synergy), Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Air/Fiona Apple), Ryuichi Sakamoto (YMO), Morgan Page (Madonna/Katy Perry), Keith Shocklee (Bomb Squad/Public Enemy), Steve Porcaro (Toto), Fredwreck (Snoop Dogg/50 Cent), Jan Hammer (Jeff Beck/Mahavishnu Orchestra), Michael Boddicker (Michael Jackson), Richard Devine (Aphex Twin), Patrick Moraz (Yes/Moody Blues), Eddie Jobson (UK/Roxy Music), Diego Stocco, Danny Elfman, The Moog Cookbook, and more.
Some of the 2.4GB of new Soundsources in the library were developed using exotic gear like Buchla Modulars, Jean-Michel Jarre’s EMS Synthi AKS, Hans Zimmer’s Modular Moog (including 1027 round robin Moog Drum samples) and Persing’s OMG-1.
All of the proceeds from the sale of the new "Bob Moog Tribute Library" go to supporting the projects of the Bob Moog Foundation.
