We’re all touched by the musical inventions of technologists. But it’s something special to see those creations in their original hand.

The Bob Moog Foundation has been posting circuitry, panel layouts, and prototype drawings made by Bob Moog (many in his hand) – and they’re beautiful. Don’t drink a lot of coffee before drawing plans if you want yours to look anything like this.

You’ll see a range of creations – oscillator circuits from classic modular units, synth control panels, and even a percussion controller and tape heads. I’ve pasted a few here, but go to the Moog site for the full collection and lots of notes:

Via SonicState: Moog Circuitry Revealed
