New Music Gear Monday: Moog Music Animoog App

The iPad is becoming more and more powerful to the point where many are using it as a legitimate music creation device. Moog Music has further added to this capability with its new Animoog iPad app.

Animoog is powered by Moog's new Anisotropic Synth Engine (ASE), making it fully polyphonic and capable of dynamically moving through an X/Y timbre space.

It features a Timbre page, which provides a wide range of classic Moog synth and pedals sounds that are generated by ASE and not via sample playback.

It also features polyphonic modulation, polyphonic pitch shifting, a classic ping pong delay module, a "Thick Module" that provides bit crushing to unison voice detuning and drive, and the classic Moog 4 point filter.

That's not all. Animoog also has a Record Module that allows you to record your performance and overdub new layers on top, then transfer the recordings via the pasteboard. There's also a flexible modulation matrix, and MIDI In so Animoog can be controlled from a MIDI controller.

Moog Music's Animoog is available from the App Store for $24.99. Check out the video below for an example of Animoog at work.
