Moog modular synthesizer corrections
Edit summry: Corrected chonology of Moog appearances on rock albums & added refs to support this.

The first Moog system was bought by choreographer Alwin Nikolais. Lothar and the Hand People began using the modular Moog in 1965. Composers Eric Siday and Chris Swansen were also among the first customers. Session musician, Paul Beaver, was the first to play a modular Moog on a record in 1967: on The Monkees' Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. album. A common misconception is that The Doors' second album, Strange Days, was the first LP to feature the sound of the Moog. While it is true that the instrument was used in the song, "Strange Days", the audio engineer on the recording session, Bruce Botnick, has stated that it was only singer Jim Morrison's voice that was run through the machine. Consiquently, although the Moog was used on the Strange Days album, the sound of the instrument itself wasn't heard until its appearance on Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.. Beaver was also featured playing the instrument on a number of its other early appearances on rock albums, including The Notorious Byrd Brothers by The Byrds, The Trip: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Electric Flag, and the concept album, The Zodiac : Cosmic Sounds. It was Wendy Carlos' 1968 Switched-On Bach album (see 1968 in music), featuring Carlos' custom-built modular synthesizer as the only instrument on the recording, which brought widespread interest to the Moog synthesizer. Shortly after, Keith Emerson, Jan Hammer, Tangerine Dream, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones also became owners of modular Moogs. This new popularity led to the 1970 release of the classic Minimoog and subsequent Moog synthesizers, modeled after the larger modular systems and designed for portability, usability, and affordability. A number of universities purchased Moog systems or modules; the University of Iowa where composer Peter Tod Lewis was a faculty member, for example, owned a Moog Modular IIIC with an optional double-sequencer addition.
