In celebration of Robert Moog's 78th birthday, Google has created an epic Google Doodle to honor the electronic music pioneer.

The Doodle, which is scheduled for Wednesday but already visible on Google's Australia landing page, presents an interactive Moog synthesizer.

Users can adjust dials on the synthesizer, turn switches on and off and play sounds on the keyboard. You can also record and playback your creations -- even layering multiple tracks over each other.

It seems Google is also allowing users to share their music via Google+ and via a regular weblink -- though at this time those links are not working for users who aren't logged into Google.com.au.

This isn't the first time Google has created a playable Doodle celebrating music legends. Last year the company released a Les Paul Google Doodle celebrating the guitar legend.
