Is it legal to call a filter "Moog Filter" in a synth?? or is it ok.

Yeah he lost the court case and cant actually stop anyone anymore using the word Moog, You couldn't however call your company Moog because in losing the court case he also lost the right to his company name Moog which is now actually owned by wait for it Moog, Basically a name can be associated with a product and not a part of a product, For instance you couldn't call the synth a Mini Moog but you can call a filter a Moog filter, I think its like the difference between a copy and a reference 🙂 , One is copying a Moog the other is referencing something that was also available on a Moog, Hope that made sense.

The bottom line is yes you can use the word Moog to describe something but not to name it, If i where you i would go with Moog type filter because after all Moog never made any software so how could it be a Moog.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
