Back in the 1980s, Moog synthesizers powered the pop synthesizer sensations of the time, creating iconic sounds that defined an era. Today, Moog has claimed that their application, Animoog, is the world’s first professional polyphonic synthesizer designed for the iPad, bringing these legendary sounds into the digital age.
Moog has created their new Animoog application for both beginners and professionals to be able to create music, and it uses their new Moog Anisotropic Synthesis Engine. Watch the video after the jump to see the new Moog Animoog application in action.
Features and Capabilities
Features of the new Animoog iPad application include the ASE engine, timbre page, and polyphonic modulation using the touch interface. The ASE engine, or Anisotropic Synthesis Engine, is a groundbreaking technology that allows users to dynamically move through an X/Y space of unique timbres, creating a rich and evolving soundscape. The timbre page provides a visual representation of the sound, making it easier for users to manipulate and shape their music.
Polyphonic modulation is another standout feature, allowing multiple notes to be played and modulated simultaneously. This is particularly useful for creating complex and layered sounds that are characteristic of professional music production. The touch interface of the iPad adds an intuitive element to the modulation process, making it accessible even for those who are new to synthesizers.
Together with a record mode and support for MIDI in/out, which will require a Little Phatty or similar MIDI controller to link the Animoog app, users can seamlessly integrate the app into their existing music production setups. The record mode allows users to capture their performances and ideas on the fly, making it a powerful tool for both live performances and studio sessions.
Accessibility and Pricing
Moog has decided they would like as many people as possible to experience the Animoog app and have dropped the price of the app for thirty days down from $29.99 to just $0.99. This significant price reduction makes it accessible to a wider audience, encouraging more people to explore the world of music synthesis. Whether you’re a seasoned musician or a curious beginner, this limited-time offer provides an excellent opportunity to dive into the capabilities of the Animoog app.
The decision to lower the price also reflects Moog’s commitment to fostering a community of music creators. By making the app affordable, they are removing barriers to entry and allowing more people to experiment with and enjoy the process of music creation. This move is likely to inspire a new generation of musicians who might not have otherwise had the chance to experience the power of a Moog synthesizer.
So don’t delay, jump over to the iTunes App Store now to download it. The Animoog app is not just a tool; it’s an invitation to explore new musical horizons and push the boundaries of your creativity.
