The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
VOOG is a virtual analog synthesizer built in Python that emulates Moog-style polyphonic synthesis. It features a tkinter GUI inspired by the Subsequent 37 synthesizer and supports multiple input methods including QWERTY keyboard mapping, mouse interaction, and MIDI controller support. The software includes various synth parameters like cutoff, resonance, envelopes, and LFO controls, and can be used in both GUI mode and CLI REPL mode.

Hold a key to sustain — key repeat is filtered so notes don't re-trigger.
Connect any MIDI controller. MIDI CC messages are mapped to synth parameters (cutoff, resonance, envelopes, LFO, etc.).
Click and drag on the virtual keyboard. Drag across keys to glide between notes.
