Moog in League with the Daleks
Moog Music Inc have been caught supplying equipment to the Daleks. Their distinctive voiceboxes have been shown to contain Moog voice-changing technology. Disassembled Daleks have revealed parts labelled as Moog and Moogerfooger, and a black box with the Moog logo and marking ‘MF-102‘ can clearly be seen from the image below taken from BBC News’ own investigation.

The Moog technology used is ring modulation. A primitive analog technology also used in modular synthesizers to create weird alien distortions (appropriately) and gong like noises. The original signal (voice) is multiplied with an on-board oscillator, usually a sinewave, and then the sum and difference of these frequencies from the two inputs are mixed together, with original signals removed, to form an inharmonic mix of weirdness.

Dear Moog,
I wish to register my protest at Moog Music Inc supplying the Daleks with voice changing technology.
Yours sincerely
