AniMoog Synthesizer by Moog Music Inc. ($2.99) If you are reading this you are probably not going to be hung up on whether or not this is a “real Moog”. Those that would be are not going to be interested in an Ipad app roundup in the first place. That said, the AniMoog Synthesizer, is a pretty impressive offering. Utilizing the responsive touch screen of the Ipad, the AniMoog allows you to create complex, evolving textures in an engaging and fun way. Dragging your finger across the screen allows you to assemble sounds in the X/Y space from a selection of timbres from various Moog Synths and pedals.
Additionally, sounds can be sculpted using the AniMoogs Polyphonic Modulation and Pitch Shifting capabilities, a delay module, a 4 pole filter module, a so-called “thick” module for bit crushing and detuning, etc, a flexible modulation matrix and MIDI in/out. In short, the Animoog is everything a synth should be: fun, inspiring and great sounding.
