AniMoog for iPad
Published March 30, 2012 | 
AniMoog is a polyphonic synthesizer dedicated entirely to the iPad. The synthesis engine is driven by ASE, which is a new Moog technology that “allows the user to move dynamically through an X/Y space of unique timbres to create an expressive and constantly evolving sound-scape.”
The Upside….
Polyphonic modulation and pitch shifting (expressive controls) can be controlled directly from specific finger movements while playing. Amp, Filter, LFO, and Mod Envelopes let you design an endless array of sounds. Create complex X/Y paths to take your sounds on an authentic and constantly-changing musical journey. Other key features include classic Moog filtering and orbital control of your sounds.
The Downside…
The app has potential, but it isn’t the easiest to navigate through. The latency for playback is good, however some of the knobs don’t respond to touch that well. A lot of the preset sounds are quirky and not well rounded enough. You have to record directly to Pasteboard, which is not always the most convenient. Did I mention AniMoog costs $30!
If you’re an electronic producer with an adequate knowledge on audio synthesis then you might think this app is golden, but outside of that scope, I just don’t see how AniMoog is worth the $30 price tag. You can get a lot more bang for your buck elsewhere.
H I love it too
