(WTVR) – In celebration of Robert Moog’s 78th birthday, Google has created an epic Google Doodle to honor the electronic music pioneer.

The Doodle, up on Google’s homepage for May 23, presents an interactive Moog synthesizer.

Users can adjust dials on the synthesizer, turn switches on and off and play sounds on the keyboard. You can also record and playback your creations, even layering multiple tracks over each other.

This isn’t the first time Google has created a playable Doodle celebrating music legends. Last year the company released a Les Paul Google Doodle celebrating the guitar legend.
