Founded in 2005, the Bob Moog Foundation is dedicated to carrying on the innovative legacy of synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog.
UJAM and the Bob Moog Foundation have partnered to release the Vox Humana plugin, a standalone virtual instrument that faithfully recreates the Polymoog’s Vox Humana mode, regarded as one of the most recognisable synthesizer sounds, famously featured in Gary Numan’s “Cars”. One hundred percent of proceeds will support the foundation’s educational and preservation initiatives, with UJAM and its distribution partners waiving all fees to ensure every dollar directly benefits the foundation’s mission.

The Vox Humana plugin is built on the sampled sounds of the Polymoog 280A, carefully captured by composer, producer, and synth enthusiast Alex Ball. With these recordings as the basis, the Bob Moog Foundation partnered with UJAM to transform them into a fully realised virtual instrument. Utilising UJAM’s proprietary Gorilla Engine — a platform widely used by top plugin manufacturers — the team designed an interface that is both intuitive and faithful to the instrument’s original character.
“At UJAM, we owe much of our inspiration to industry pioneers like Bob Moog,” said UJAM co-founder Peter Gorges.
“His contributions to music technology have shaped my career and so many others. Supporting the Bob Moog Foundation through the Vox Humana plugin is an honor, and by waiving all fees, we’re ensuring that every dollar goes directly to advancing its mission and preserving Bob’s legacy for future generations.”
The Vox Humana plugin is available as a VST3, AAX and AU plugin for Mac and Windows. To see the current impact of this collaboration — including a live tally of how much money has been raised in support of the Bob Moog Foundation — visit UJAM.com.
