Description

Designed by Moog Music, the world’s first synth company, Animoog Z is an inspiring 16-voice polyphonic synthesizer that invites you to explore new concepts of multidimensional sound design and performance.

Powered by Moog’s Anisotropic Synth Engine (ASE), Animoog Z empowers you to visually traverse new sonic universes and even create your own! ASE utilizes a novel orbit system to expand the concepts of wavetable and vector synthesis, allowing you to navigate dynamically through the X, Y, and Z axes of sound. Spontaneous sound design with Animoog Z is easy—simply select and drag the orbit path to explore endless sonic configurations.

Animoog Z captures the immediate and intuitive experience of Moog synthesizers and applies it to the modern digital paradigm, enabling you to quickly sculpt incredibly fluid sounds that live, breathe, and evolve as you play. Use Animoog Z’s built-in keyboard to control pitch and pressure per voice (or send MIDI out), or connect your favorite MPE controller and explore Animoog Z’s MPE-compliant sound engine.

Animoog’s diverse library of timbres includes digital tones and spectral sources alongside analog waveforms recorded from classic Moog circuits. If you ever run out of sounds, you can use the built-in Timbre Editor to record and edit your own timbres!

Visually captivating and sonically immersive, Animoog Z brings music production to the next level. Whether you are new to synthesis or a professional musician, Animoog’s unique user interface gives you the power to easily create a visually vibrant and sonically rich universe.

Key Features:

• Multiplatform Experience: Share presets, timbres, and in-app purchases across your compatible Apple devices.

• Anisotropic Synth Engine (ASE): An exciting Moog technology that allows you to move through the X, Y, and Z axes of unique timbres to create an expressive and constantly evolving soundscape. Sonic modulations are visualized in real time, providing a multisensory feedback mechanism for sound creation.

• Polyphonic Modulation and Pitch Shifting: Control Animoog Z's advanced touch surface keyboard with configurable scales, key distances, pitch correction, and glide. Simply slide your fingers to control multiple per-voice parameters in Animoog Z right from the keys.

• Timbre Editor: Go beyond simple sample playback and build unique sounds that evolve in multi-dimensional space. Select from a wide variety of built-in timbres or customize your sound by recording your own timbres (or import your own WAV files).

• ENV/LFO Page: Articulate your dynamics with 3 independent six-stage DAHDSR envelopes for Amp, Filter, and Mod, each with loop and sync functionality. Give motion to your sound with 3 independent LFOs featuring continuously variable wave shapes, phase offset, delayed start, sync, and support for 1-8 repeats.

• MOD Page: Highly flexible modulation matrix with 10 lanes and a multitude of sources, controllers, and destinations—including global destinations like Delay and Thick. Use the Solo and Enable controls to explore complex modulations layer by layer.

• Effects Page: A collection of dynamic sound-altering and sound-augmenting effects with Delay, Chorus, Bitcrush, Filter, Arpeggiator, and Looper. Oscilloscope-style views display the output and impact of your effects.

• MIDI: Use your favorite MIDI controller to control Animoog Z (with full support for MPE input) or go MIDI out to use Animoog Z's highly expressive keyboard to control your favorite instruments. Go even deeper with Animoog Z's exhaustive MIDI CC mapping system featuring MIDI Learn, multiple destinations for a single CC, and detailed control of which presets are loaded with program change.

• Additional Features: Backwards compatibility with presets and timbres from the original Animoog, AUv3 support, 440Hz base frequency offset (+/- 10Hz), preset tagging, preset sharing, Global BPM, Tap Tempo, Ableton Link, keyboard typing and shortcuts, random presets, and undo/redo.

Amazing app!

Buzzcat69 on

Just one small criticism about the UX. It’s very hard to quit the iOS app as it’s locked on landscape mode. Labels are very small but that, I can live with. The UX needs improvement. Other than that, it’s a great app.

A Budget entry into MPE and advanced synthesis

MG60020932 on

I have had Animoog classic on one iPad or another since 2013 and have always been impressed with its fresh and innovative approach to synthesis. Lately I’ve wanted to explore MPE but controllers of any capability are expensive. Except I picked up an “open box” Artiphon Instrument 1 for a reasonable price. It mates very well with Animoog Z (and Animoog Classic) so I am exploring new musical horizons and I like that I have a formidable synth on my iPad Pro. I was a bit grumpy about shelling out to activate all the features, but once in 10 years? Sober second thought: the price is actually more than reasonable when you think about how much you get for the money.

worst support...ever

Miz Gabbo on

Tried several times to ask about loading this as an AU instrument in my Daw (DP11) since it doesn't come up as a loadble au plugin nor is it scanned by Performer like all other plugins when I boot the Daw. Support is non-existant..they simply ignore anything sent to them so you're on your own. Have tried to contact them 3 times now to no avail. Not planning on buying any more products from them.

Broken with new update?

MattC_31 on

New update OR new iPad update has broken the main visualizer wavecube screen, it’s just black. Sound works and everything else, just the visualizer section is blank. iPad OS 16.1

Sweet sounds but…

As per all Moog instruments, the sound quality is outstanding. This new version is amazing, not like the original wasn’t. Although it seems like the help centre doesn’t want to contact you back if you have issues… like the one that if you use this app with AUM, all the purchased patches won’t come up in your library. I’ve had other small issues over the last couple years even with the original Animoog. Emailed, tried to chat, all to no avail. What gives Moog? I’d say your a big enough company to at least help out your devoted fans…

Animoog original, please don’t go. =P

aimL0W on

Upon a second review of the application.. I am sad to figure out.. a conclusion one avid animoog user is to draw would be, in all actuality you have discontinued the Original Animoog? This is very upsetting, on one hand. But in light of a transparent review, slight differences interface wise leads to a ‘fluff’ up - you had the design detail on L O C K with that original Animoog, I hope you all please make it available in the App Store once again - love using it live - a TRUE tone and INSTANT CLASSIC with absolutely no compared competition and NO EQUAL! Set thus far .. as the iOS music and sound design model.. if not available (the original) - maybe, a hard mark, but progression forward as a sound design unit is not enough to take the pit away, But will that pit fade away? Not when I have 20$ to spend AGAIN when investing in previous releases but have nothing to show.. I don’t know.

Missed out

zeekerspike on

I like the Animoog 2d. It was fine. When I finally got around to updating, the Z was not available to download anymore…feels like that shouldn’t be a time limited thing for customers who bought the original. So, because I liked the 2D I bought the Z. It’s good too , but the interface is clumsy. I can get used to that BUT WHY DOES IT NO LONGER CONNECT TO AUDIOSHARE like 2D does??? I make recordings that are longer than the built in recorder, which seems about 5 minutes. PLEASE RESTORE THIS FEATURE !!!! So I’ve paid twice and lost a crucial feature, not impressed.

Another Winner

Perry Pelican on

Moog comes up with cool sounding synths. This one is special. How can someone give a terrible rating because they expected the app to go on sale instead of changing from the intro price to the normal price. The guy obviously likes the app because he bought it. So as a thank you for the great app, he decided to screw up sales by giving a terrible rating. How selfish is that. Ratings are a way to tell others if the app is good, not as an immature way to complain about your own mistake. Humans are not a cool race of aliens. We only care about ourselves and our own feelings. That rating did absolutely nothing except screw the developer who did nothing wrong.

Animoog W is next.

Re-editing post develloper response…. I suppose too much might be what some of you are looking for. Then you’ve found it. The 2D version is still better for some simple presets (even the 2D wacky pressets are overly wonky). A third dimension is a lot of control over too many parameters... We already had LFO’s, X, Y, orbit rate variation, path rate variation and only four modules to vary sound design (now more modules if you buy them). Alright, the new app is better, but it completely reaks that I’ve put in a valid 40$ for an old iPad app. And now, If I purchase the new app, that 40 bucks has been thrown in the thrash can by the guys at Moog. Comming from a regular iOS beatmaker who has used your apps and put his wallets faith in you, it’s an insult, a big cash grab. Z should have been an in app purchase for Animoog 2D. In fact, the third dimension should be a toggle, that way 2D would fit seemingly in the 3D app and make everyone happier. Also, I could keep my presets I’ve been working on for years in the new app. Any computer assited design program has a 2D component to sketch things out, and then you press the 3D button. Make the Z a reasonnably priced add-in in normal Animoog, make the extra bells and whistles extra add ons too, respect the 40$ I’ve already put in for the iPad version and boom. You got me back. But until then, I’m gonna have to ask everyone to boycott this overly mercantile nonsense…. At least refund my original Animoog 2D purchase. I deserve that.
