Google's favorite Google Doodles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xICGMGupCVQ (December 2011)

Google on Wednesday came out with an interactive doodle to celebrate the 78th birthday of Robert Arthur "Bob" Moog ? an American music enthusiast; best known for his invention of the Moog Synthesizer.

The Google doodle is a virtual version of the device (Moog Synthesizer).

The first Moog synthesizer, which went on to revolutionize music in the 1960s and 70s was first introduced in 1964. It was one of the first electronic instruments that allowed musicians to mimic any musical instrument, voices or natural sounds by flipping a switch or twisting a dial.

The doodle is a playable, recordable Moog synthesizer where users can create music by clicking on the virtual synthesizer using their mouse or touchpads. Users can record their music and play them back and upload them as well on Google plus (Google+).

This is not the first time that Google has come out with a playable doodle. It had done that on June 9, 2011, to celebrate the 96th birthday of Les Paul, a famous American guitarist and song writer, who has a guitar famously named after him.

With the interactive musical doodle in honour of Robert Arthur Moog, popularly known as Bob Moog, users can not only create their own music using the digital 24-key keyboard but also use the volume, mixer, oscillators, filter and envelope controls to tweak the sound. Logged in Google users can also record and share their compositions on the Moog Google doodle synthesizer on Google Plus. Other users can also record their compositions and get a short g.co URL leading to a version of the Google home page that plays the recorded music.

...Chrome had recently overtaken long-time Web browser leader Internet Explorer in Web analytics company StatCounter's figures and Google does not seem to be willing to give away any of its lead and is therefore using its immensely popular doodles to further push its browser.
