The name Plogue was chosen as it means "plug" in Quebec Anglicism/slang.[3]

The company also has interesting old chips and many of its software releases focus on recreating the older synthesizer chips from the pre-90s. Much of David Viens' work within the company involves Rom Dumping, he collects old voice synthesizers and their ROMs.[4] Hubert Lamontagne was hired by the company due to his knowledge of phonetics and this led to the creation of Chipspeech and Alter/Ego.[5]
