Switched-On Bach by W. Carlos | Arturia 2.6 manual

In 1968, worldwide recognition came with the success of “Switched-On Bach” by W. Carlos. This album, where classical music is played on a Moog, sold over one million copies as it was bought both by classical music fans (it was in the American “Classical” charts for 94 weeks) and fans of pop. It won three Grammy awards.

A little later, Keith Emerson, keyboard player for the groups Nice and ELP (Emerson, Lake and Palmer), was he himself to become an ambassador for Moog synths. He was one of the first to play a Moog modular on stage during a tour (A 3C system). Jan Hammer was also one of the first users of Moog systems. Big groups like Tangerine Dream, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, would also become modular Moog owners.
