Bob Moog Foundation Announces ‘What Would Bob Do?’ Fundraising Raffle for a Custom Eurorack Modular
The Bob Moog Foundation has announced their winter fundraising raffle. The grand prize, a custom-built Eurorack modular synthesizer system housed in a handcrafted 15U (126 hp), is themed around the question, “What Would Bob Do?“.
Valued at $24,000, the system includes 50 Eurorack modules, 11 controllers, and components from 52 companies across 17 countries.
Tickets for the raffle are $25 each, 5 for $100, 12 for $200, and 35 for $500. The raffle is open internationally. Please read the rules and regulations before purchasing tickets. 
The first prize winner of the raffle will also receive a copy of the 352-page Bjooks book Push, Turn, Move, signed by Kim Bjorn (publisher). Synthesizer pioneer and educator Chris Meyer, who curated and assembled the modular system, will also provide the winner free access to his Learning Modular online courses. Patch cables and a gift pack from Luigi’s Modular Supply will also be supplied.
Second and third place prizes don’t always happen, but for this raffle, Expressive E provided an Osmose MPE synthesizer (valued at $1799) for the second prize, and a copy of software synthesizer Noisy 2 (valued at $149) for third prize.

“The theme for this year’s modular system is: What would Bob do? I started with his interest in alternate controllers: from the Theremin kits he originally sold, to the ribbon and percussion controllers he offered with the original Moog modular system, to his later research into more expressive keyboard controllers. Then I looked at the columns he wrote for Keyboard Magazine explaining different synthesis techniques, including frequency modulation, phase distortion, Karplus-Strong, VOSIM, additive synthesis, resynthesis, and sampling.
“I made sure all of those and more were represented in this instrument, along with all of the normal filters, envelope generators, amplifiers, modulators, sequencers, mixers, and utility modules you need to create a complete system. The result is a very advanced, expressive, versatile modular instrument capable of playing several voices at once and which will keep its new owner deeply engaged in sonic exploration for many years to come.” — Chris Meyer

“Being a cabinet-maker, it’s always a refreshing good time doing a project with the Bob Moog Foundation. Instead of head-scratching on the first day with contractors and home-owners, its done with electrical and sound engineers that are all really good at their jobs. On the outside, the final product is just a small, superior-grade walnut box, but the inside is full of careful design that will hopefully pack a big sonic punch and look good while doing it. I look forward to hearing amazing things come from it.” — Cabinet maker Christopher Perryman.
The Bob Moog Foundation raffle begins Monday, December 1, 2025, at 7:00 am (EST) and ends Friday, December 19, 2025 at 11:59 pm (EST). The raffle is open internationally. The raffle tickets are $25 each, 5 for $100, 12 for $200, and 35 for $500. The raffle winner will be announced on Tuesday, December 23rd.
