The '''Minimoog''' is an [[analog synthesizer]] first manufactured by [[Moog Music]] between 1970 and 1981. Designed as a more affordable, portable version of the modular [[Moog synthesizer]], it was the first synthesizer sold in retail stores. It was first popular with [[progressive rock]] and [[jazz]] musicians and found wide use in [[disco]], [[Pop music|pop]], [[Rock music|rock]] and [[electronic music]].

Production of the Minimoog stopped in the early 1980s after the sale of Moog Music. In 2002, founder [[Robert Moog]] regained the rights to the Moog brand, bought the company, and released an updated version of the Minimoog, the [[Minimoog Voyager]]. In 2016 and in 2022, Moog Music released another new version of the original Minimoog.
