Guys, you can play the keyboard using the number and / or QWERTY keys on your actual keyboard and use the cursor arrows to move between and adjust the Mixer, Oscillators, Filters and Envelope to make all sorts of crazy squelchy synth sounds. And that’s not all – that funny looking thing to the right of the Moog is a “Tape Recorder” and if you hit the red button you can record a short section of your masterpiece, then play it back and record another three tracks.

Google has also provided the option to share the doodle by integrating the Google+. Google allows its users to record, play back and even share their composition on the social networking site Google+ by simply clicking on the g+ button.
