Lovers of classic synth, celebrate: pioneer Bob Moog will join the Inventors Hall of Fame today. The USPTO is bestowing that honor for patent number 3,475,623 granted (http://www.google.com/patents/US3475623) in 1966 for the so-called Moog (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Moog/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) ladder filter that gave rise to its original synth and Minimoog Synthesizers, and is still used in synths like the Voyager (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/24/moog-aluminum-voyager-eyes-on/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) and Sub Phatty (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/24/moog-sub-phatty-analog-synthesizer-hands-on-video/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) today. To fete the occasion, the company is reissuing its classic ladder filter t-shirt that'll come with a free hall of fame induction poster, and will also hold an ice cream social at the factory store in Asheville, NC. That'll culminate in a rare Moog synth-heavy performance by aptly-named local group Ice Cream, so if you're lucky enough to be in the area, the festivities kick off at 6 p.m.
