Animoog Z Synthesizer for Positive User Reviews
✓ Auv3 support… holy macaroni, Finally, my dream came true!Auv3 support… holy macaroni, Finally, my dream came true!.Version: 1.0
✓ INSTABUYI didn’t need to test the free version - went straight to purchase full app. Fun! ISSUE: Doesn’t come up in the list on AudioShare. Is Animoog Z compatible with Inter App Audio? We’ll still need that feature from the original until MPE is supported in the DAWs we use. —————————————————————————— NOTE to reviewer Soundister: “When I used it in Nanostudio Animoog X UI was so small I couldn’t adjust anything while playing” In Nanostudio, in upper right hand corner, tap the icon that looks like this: (((O))) That will allow you to use Animoog Z (or any AUV3 app) in full window mode. Hope that helps anyone with that issue..Version: 1.0.1
✓ A Budget entry into MPE and advanced synthesisI 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..Version: 1.0.25
✓ Top of the classOne of the best synths in the App Store without question. Top marks Moog !.Version: 1.0.5
✓ A few days in!What a sound.Version: 1.0.25
✓ Great tool for analog sonic experimentsIf you are a relative newcomer to Moog you might find the extensive number of settings a bit daunting. In my case, I played a bit, read a bit (on their forums), and it just gets more fascinating. Great app..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Animoog ZNo Zombie here, this latest creation from the wonderful Moog company is fantastic ! I can sit for hours playing this beautiful Synthesizer. Top class graphics and functionality too. Highly recommend!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ At last!Animoog presets and all my packs did not transfer to Animoog z, for a few days. At last I worked out that Animoog z needs to be open and then import the zip file from Animoog. Hope this helps someone. Beautiful and brilliant app!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Packed with fun and pro tonesI have never used a physical synth yet have tried and used a lot of software synths so I have limited experience to compare this one to. But this is BY FAR the most professional sounding synth which creates unique tones with infinite possibilites. I gladly paid to upgrade and I think if you want to do more than just pllay around, should do too. for $9.99 a powerful beast is at your disposal. And using it is a lot of fun!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Pure synth fun.Great to see this new version of the classic "Animoog-iPhone". I have enjoyed the original version since it first came out. -- This new version completely refreshes and updates Animoog's look and features. -- With the many new features and interaction possibilities in the new Animoog Z, I will be spending a lot of time exploring and having fun with this synth..Version: 1.0
✓ Great: note the in app link to the manual has stopped working. Animoog info has gone.Still a firm favourite on iOS. Wanted to check something out re changing patches while not retaining all features (one of the patch randomisation features of Animoog) as it doesn’t seem to be working properly, check the manual. Manual no longer there… is this because of Moog’s recent troubles?.Version: 1.0.31
✓ A Must HaveFull disclosure, I basically live down the street from Moog HQ. This is well worth the unlock and I have only scratched the surface. Big fan of Moog and am so excited for anyone who gets their hands on this amazing app!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ A MOOGWithout the expense!.Version: 1.0.25
✓ Need the 4 track recorder backI love this App. I actually loved the original Animoog a little more and I definately miss the built in 4 track recorder that the original had . Moog is by far the most innovative and classic synth makers out there and both Animoog and Animoog 2 are amazing to use and create with . Hope they make more original apps that are unique to iPad . Thanks Moog ! Keep up the amazing work!! - Kirk / Rev. Dirtkicker / DOC Music & Mayhem.Version: 1.0.31
✓ This was Science Fiction back in the 80sJust a positive review concerning price. I have just downloaded free version … there is enough inspiration here ..and timbre variation in my AirPods that a young me could of even dreamed of … running through a silent lightweight machine that I can hold in my hand whilst having a coffee. This just a few decades ago would have been black magic. Rewind to 1980. Yeah Joe you heard right .. I just bought a Moog Synth that I can hold in my hand ….Version: 1.0.10
✓ Nice to get lostDrawing the orbits in 3D is kind of addictive. It’s like drawing and each added mark morphs the sound and with three dimensions it gets pretty trippy and beautiful. I think the layout on this app is pretty great on the iPad though the iPhone is cramped like Animoog, but it’s still just as enjoyable and I have a newer se (small screen), It’s half the price ($10) of Animoog for unlocking all the parameters. I’m not big on freemium but it doesn’t strike me as predatory just adding effects and other modulation for $5. It’s an enjoyable time killer on the bus. Worth it to me..Version: 1.0.1
✓ 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨1. I saw this app icon on the App Store the other day and I completely ignored it because I was 100% sure it was some kind of Simon Says game app icon is hideous. 2. why do good synthesizers leave out reverb. 3. preset navigation arrows are too small & too close together. 4. Can you make the app fit iPad Pro 11” screen without the black lines on the edges. My complaints are too minor to take any stars away five stars are well deserved 👏🏼.Version: 1.0.1
✓ PerrffectThis is it.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Gets 5 stars even without buying full version!This synth is Drone music making heaven. Even in just the free version it’s incredibly capable and has such an organic life of its own…. I Love it! Fortunately my birthday is coming up in July and my missus is going to buy it for me 😊 Top app Animoog 👍.Version: 1.0.29
✓ AWSOMEI’ve had Animoog almost from when it came out and love it. Animoog Z picks it up with out missing a beat. I’ve had a ton of presets and Timbers in Animoog. The import of Animoog presets and Timbers to Animoog Z was flawless. At first I wasn’t sure if I was going to even like it. Animoog Z does not disappoint. For me Moog hit a grand slam. Moog has also been good with updates..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Mac and iPad both available nowAfter my 1 star review for not getting help after requesting, I revisited the iPad tonight and was successful at "restoring purchase." I had tried several times after purchasing on my mac to restore on the iPad as well. Reached out several times to the support email and still haven't heard back. Tonight, the restore purchase option worked and I just finished happily spending 2 hours exploring more (there is soooo much here!) I would joyfully give it a 5 had I had any sort of feedback/response from support. Maybe they are busy adding functionality? Maybe the recent update fixed my issue? Either way. . .happier tonight!.Version: 1.0.21
✓ MoogTastic!As a kid my first Moog was a real Mini-Moog back in 1980. Kids today can get the trill of Moog sounds for free and that is game-changing for bringing the next generation of songwriters forward. I love the didactic keyboard which makes it so easy to compose a new part in D# Lydian if I so desire. This is a dream machine. Support this dev team - they bring the joy..Version: 1.0
✓ Broken with new update?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.Version: 1.0.20
✓ Awesome!!!I have bought Moog apps and real hardware synths and this app just takes my creativity to another level!!!😊.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Loving it…but purchase did not unlock on all compatible devicesAloha, After playing with this for a few days I decided to purchase. I used the app store on my 2109 MacBook Pro. When I went to my iPad, I have the limited version. I’ve tried clicking on the “Unlock Full App” that is labeled as “Already Purchased” when I visit the App Store on my ipad, but no go. I’m happy to up this rating to 5 in exchange for some developer support to get this up and running on my ipad (without purchasing again, if possible!) I reached out a few days ago thru the contact form on the website but no word so far. Help, please. Thanks in advance!! Update: It took a while but the developer got back to me to explain that this was a feature of the App Store. I was, indeed, able to get this unlocked on my iPad and am busy thoroughly enjoying learning the mysteries. Awesome!! Thank you for a sweet rabbit hole to dive down..Version: 1.0.22
✓ Dream Machine….I really love the whole vibe of this synth. Great interface and sounds spectacular. LS.Version: 1.0.23
✓ Almost excellentWonderful and expressive. Worth 5 stars but there is no way I can find to make the volume of the presets global. When paying live it can be a pain for the volume to jump up or down when you switch presets. Please add volume global setting..Version: 1.0
✓ A bit intimidating…But well worth persevering for the 10mins or so required to get it pulsing and resonating nicely. Perfect for moody electronica..Version: 1.0.13
✓ Great sound. Discount for Animoog users would have been nice.Animoog has always been one of the best sounding iOS synths (if not THE best). Price is fair, but it would have been nice for buyers of Animoog and add-ons to have received some upgrade discount..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Animoog Z FabulousOnly significant problem is stuttering during playing even after lowering buffer size, any advice would be welcome as this is way better than original Animoog. Non the less excellent synth Moog👌👍😀.Version: 1.0
✓ Another WinnerMoog 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..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Boys and girls, the trip is backTrippers rejoice, it's not only on my m1 pro iPad, but also on the Mac. What a day. I'm thinking of switching purely to the Mac since all the best synthetic are now on the Mac with infinite more abilities in Ableton. Phew. The sound and in app purchase packs are spot on and instabuys like Korg module pro. Moog is following Korg into the Mac and it's a great path. Just give me AU now too on the Macs already..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Lost in musicI love this app - as a longtime fan of the original Animoog app, I was a little wary of yet another app “upgrade” (having been so disappointed many times before by other developers’ attempts to “improve” an existing app), but my concerns were unfounded. The only thing missing is the 4-track recorder from Animoog, but with inter-app audio and VST AU functionality, maybe Moog felt it wasn’t needed..Version: 1.0.25
✓ Amazing. Must Buy!Finally animoog is updated as an auv3 plus many new features. The best synth for a decade on ios (and frankly up there with most vsts) is now updated. Still sounds amazing. Such a unique synth. Don’t hesitate to purchase..Version: 1.0
✓ This is Fantastic!The same sizzling and acerbic and complex timbral sound as the first, but in 3D. Nice improvements like a more modular signal path, and more modulation sources/destinations. I like how you can see the effect of modulation on the knobs themselves, and it be awesome if they would do the same for the LFOs, but still every attention to detail is incredible. Great job to the developers over at Moog!.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Great stuff!!For those complaining that there’s no recording, try the looper in the Fx section. This is the best Animoog version yet, the sound is classic moog and can be tweaked to my heart’s content, yeah u can try the free version but for 20 bucks I cannot think of any synth with more fun , maybe Synth One, but this is amazing if you know what the controls do, can’t wait to try it with my DAW..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Unlimited possibilitiesNever heard anything like this before. I didn’t know what I was looking for until this happened. Now I found it. It’s time to speak through these sounds. Don’t think twice. Just get it. I’m serious..Version: 1.0.20
✓ An inspiring instrumentThis is not just another synthesizer app. This is a well-crafted and carefully thought-out musical instrument with the musician in mind. Love the expressiveness, as well as the MPE support with a 5D midi keyboard like the ROLI as well. The tones and sounds are “super Moog”, and I enjoy this little app, in a lot of ways, as much as my physical Moog Subsequent37. What this thing does is inspire. It “leads” you to new creative ideas, and in a special way. I think it’s great for musicians who are looking to expand their voice and find new ways to express and summon the muse. Kudos to Moog for this excellent and inspiring creation! Keep it comin’..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Genius synth goes into hyperdrive!The Animoog was one of the first Great Synths for iOS, if not THE Great Granddaddy Synth for iOS. It brought polyphonic synthesis to the iPad like no other synth. It’s professionalism and style, reliability and crackle free operation was a testament to the superb MOOG legacy, which had until then been in analogue synthesis. The extreme robustness of this app, in an era when crackle and pop was common occurrence in iOS audio apps, upped the game for ALL developers and made the iPad a serious synthesis tool for musicians and producers alike. It was the only synth I would consider using on Stage in Live Performance as it was rock solid, a criteria that performers demand. It was used by myself and many others including my lifelong friend and musical hero, Miquette Giraudy from System 7 whose 40+ years of musical performance meant she knew a thing or two about live synthesis. This app takes the concept to a while new level with the inclusion of Wavetable and Vector synthesis. I have not yet had a chance to fully explore the range of capabilities of this app but after an hour of using it, I have fallen in love with the Animoog sound all over again. Give thanks for the expertise and dedication of MOOG in bringing such musical joy and solid, reliable musical magic to our lives. The legacy of MOOG lives on in this remarkable piece of Algorithmic Alchemy. Thank you MOOG. AnimoogZ is Beautiful! ❤️🙏🏾🌏.Version: 1.0
✓ Missed outI 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..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Awesome. I wish I had this when I was 4 years old.If I had had this when I was 4 years old, I would have become the person I have always been..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Favourite synth EVER updatedAnimoog WAS the best ….Version: 1.0.2
✓ Problem with effectsDopest app ever for music producers,but my only problem at the moment is the effects keep going when u press stop and it slows down my creativity when I’m trying to zone out.Version: 1.0.30
✓ Animoog ZSounds fantastic, using it on my Mac as well (without buying a different version) is fantastic . Lush sounds, beautifully designed (logical) UI, running it on either the IOS or Mac platform without any additional cost (other developers should take note) what’s not to like. As I’ve given it a 5 star rating, obviously nothing. Well done Moog..Version: 1.0.3
✓ A Good UpgradeBasically the "Z" model is the same as the original AniMoog. Some features are improved (the mod matrix, for example), while others are essentially the same (some of the effects, the scale programmer, etc.). The workflow is better after shelving the skewmorphic modular synthesizer look and feel of the original, where you had to scroll among "modules" to gain access to them. The Z axis does add some new wave table capabilities. But over all it is not fundamentally different from the original. The price is fair for what it is and the sound quality is very good. Having said all of that, I have never been a big fan of the sound of the Animoog. It sounds very digital and most of the waves in the catalog sound far too similar. I prefer more analog sound qualities to the sterile sound of digital waves. But for those pieces when you want that digital sound, the AniMoog really excels. Very complex wave-shifting is easy and sounds more alive than standard, static waves. Importing waves and preset from AniMoog is easy breezy. I really miss the 4-track recorder, though. Perhaps Moog can bring that back in a future update. So while Animoog Z is not a major new product or even a giant improvement over the previous Animoog, I am still happy I bought it. Its really fun to just experiment with. Its easily worth the price..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Animoog Z ROCKS!First off, who can actually not love Moog?? That said, this is a worthy upgrade to Animoog and great to have it on Mac as well as iOS. I will admit the AU/VST plugins might need a little love, but this app is fantastic and seriously good value. You will not regret buying from Moog and hopefully they will develop even more on the Apple platforms..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Excellent synth! Very pleasant, both to the ears and eyes!Excellent and very unique synth. Love the sound quality and diverse possibilities, and UI is very pleasant to use especially in standalone mode. The synth is Very rich harmonically, feels like the sounds have organic depth to them. Aside from the excellent sound quality, it’s also an inspiration tool for me. I often open and mess around with it to get ideas. Just create interesting flowing sounds and then create music around them. You can make very interesting spacious ambiences with it. I primarily use it to make melodic tones that can be played with both hands. But sometimes I get carried away making more meditative sounds that seem to fill the room with pleasant harmonics. And that’s even before you put reverb on it ;) Definitely would recommend this synth to anyone. p.s. Thanks for fixing the timbres-scrolling bug. Now it’s perfect 😍.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Love the demoLong time user of the original Animoog. Can I ask if this new iteration is fully compatible with the inter-app audio function in GarageBand on iOS? This is essential for me to know before purchasing full version. Thanks for any response..Version: 1.0.9
✓ SOFTWARE PLIGINI HAVE BRAIN DAMAGE.Version: 1.0.27
✓ The most beautiful synth app everMoog not only does the best synth hardware, but also their software is beautiful, accessible and open to exploration. Animoog is a new way of understanding wavetable synthesis and after first use, you won't be dissappointed at the results. Is fun and beautiful..Version: 1.0.25
✓ Best App of All Time……gets brought up to date. Seriously my favourite app ever on any platform. You cannot fail to make beautiful music on this fiendishly clever synth. If someone asks for a reason to buy an iPad, I show them this synth..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Accept It Knowing the Presets are Tame.Wow. One of those instruments full of nooks and crannies and a few surprises like + and ~lfo drive to the same destination for unusual interruptions. This is built for space farts or “head music” and all the presets are keyboard playable? Don’t be fooled either by the unusual interface or the presets or the orbs. A little time and it’s addicting..Version: 1.0.13
✓ Oh Moog, I love you so.Decades ago, I met some of your hardware while I was doing work experience in a Radio Station. They had a studio B, with a bunch of old analog gear set up, and I don’t remember what it was that I played with at the time, but I remember the name. From day one, which happened decades before I stumbled across this equipment in this dingy little room Moog have defined their own sound. You can just tell when you hear it. You know it’s a Moog filter. You know that warmth that every other synth box tried to replicate but didn’t get quite right. Back in those days, owning a tablet device that ran new synthesisers made by Moog were a black magic concept. Instead, it was a common belief that by 2020 we’d all be in hover cars. But it’s happened. You can run new and old Moog synths portably on a tablet you can hold in your hand, and you can just tell it’s Moog. Even virtually, their work is the benchmark of excellence. Love your work..Version: 1.0.25
✓ A brilliant update of an iconAnimoog Z literally takes the original Animoog (a classic in its own right) into another dimension. Endless sound design possibility sits behind an interface you can happily play with (or just stare at) for hours. Special mention to the new Effects tab—it’s great to see all the effects at once—and the modulation matrix. Easy LFO assignment FTW..Version: 1.0.4
✓ (Ani)Moog Z: …Moog enters a new dimension! 🦄Wow this was an unexpected thanksgiving surprise! Thank you for releasing this exciting development in the evolution of the already cult (Ani)Moog synthesiser! So many exciting new features and enhancements like: cross & backwards compatibility, Timbre creation, import & editing, new ASE dimensions, multi FX and an intuitive (and expansive), gorgeous GUI! Naturally the sound is utterly lush & delicious, and this beauty happily sits along side the original (rather than replacing it) …it’s basically Animoog heaven! :).Version: 1.0
✓ MOOG DOES IT!! 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇I think that what Defines a GOOD SYNTH is that it leaves you Asking questions; what is this going to do, what if I hit this note here, can I get it to sound wrong or right or whatever negative or positive notions you have of sounds, it doesn’t tell you or make you believe it’s good or not, it lets you Define it with whatever capabilities it had or has or expands towards_ There’s no defining a good synth except by its limitations; if it has doors unlocked, pathways into infinity, definitive but ever expanding, it’s limitless, IT’S A WINNER!! 🙏🙏🙏😇🙏🙏🙏 I CONNECTED THE KEYSTEP PRO: NOW, I FEEL I AM THE LAWNMOWER MAN!!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ They've done it again.UPDATE : Within 48 hours of release, the Moog developers had sorted out the import of legacy patches, so all kudos to them for that. I like many others have purchased this, based on previous experience with Moog products. Each one is done with a desire to improve on the previous, so here are my initial thoughts. I'm not a massive fan of the new UI. As other reviewers have said, it has lost that Moog feel, which is hard to describe or pin down, but with all other Moog software products, you get something that looks real, tangible and as if it's been used. In Animoog Z the interface is far too modern and loses quite a lot character. It's a personal preference and something that others may or may not agree with. I'd love to have an IAP for a Moog skin that makes it look like the other Moog apps in the range. From my perspective, I'm not sure what the purpose of the Looper is. With no real visual feedback, it makes it hard to work with. I know the manual mentions 4 beeps and then it records, but again with no real visual feedback, much of the function is lost making me feel like it is a bit of a hit and miss affair. Presets can catch you out if you're not paying attention, especially if you have the wrong tags clicked. This happened to me and at one point it made me wonder why some presets were missing. The older system of folders helped in some way, but then again I guess they had to have one method so they chose this one. It would be great under AUv3, if the synth could maintain it's size, even when the window it sits in is shrunk to smaller dimensions. Not sure how possible this is, but it can be a little problematic when Animoog wants to maintain it's 4/3 ratio, at the expense of visibility. Those points aside, this is a very powerful and fun synth, and, judging by the developers who are working on it, I have no doubt they are passionate about their product. They have given us AUv3, depth in the X/Y Timbres grid, the ability to import old presets, a slightly better view of the MOD and EFFECTS panels, an increase to 16 voices and improvements in other areas I have yet to see. Oh yes, just incase you didn't catch my drift about the interface, can we have an iAP purchasable Animoog like skin? It currently looking too much like "Thor" by Reason..Version: 1.0.1
✓ BrilliantThis is a brilliant synth. Buy it!.Version: 1.0.7
✓ AwesomeBest synthesizer ever! Thanks Moog!.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Really FunThis is the most fun I've had with an IOS synth in a long time. Bought unlocked version within the first 10 minutes of playing. This is going to be a hard one to beat..Version: 1.0
✓ What??!!This is sick! I just downloaded this started playing with it and an hour went by without noticing. I am just using the free version. I will definitely be purchasing the upgrade to support the dev team if nothing else. I 😍 you Moog.Version: 1.0
✓ A cut aboveAlways looking for the next great synth another era for Moog music , you will not be able to listen to a single track I produce or play that doesn’t contain a moog sound somewhere in it . ~ FeeltheSouth~.Version: 1.0.10
✓ Great AppAt first I was bummed they removed the in-app track recorder but then I realized how well this app integrates with garage band so it’s no longer needed! In the old days I was importing back and forth between the two.Version: 1.0.6
✓ 1.0.6 UPDATE 👍👍👍👍👍This latest v1.0.6 update has fixed my two reported issues in one go, the Midi Program Change now works perfectly when the GUI is closed and the synth no longer goes mute, secondly, there is now a new button [PGM] in midi mapping that lets you view all your assigned preset numbers, this is a brilliant feature - there is now no worries of accidentally using the same number twice. Thank you all at Moog for your great communication, for listening and fixing these very important issues, I can now program this amazing synth to my heart’s content absolutely trouble free 🍻.Version: 1.0.6
✓ GoogleIt’s Great !!.Version: 1.0.31
✓ Amazing app!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..Version: 1.0.25
✓ New Animoog? Yes please…I’m not going to write much, because I’ve only been into it for about 15 minutes. And already, I like what I am seeing. An arpeggiator, more path editing features, and new sounds. The free parts are fun, but spring for the full version, it’s not expensive. I still need to wrap my head around the editing features. Edited: Not only managed to pull my stuff over from Animoog, all that content is on my desktop and phone versions too. The import function is too easy. Thanks. My Adam Holzman presets are intact..Version: 1.0
✓ A wonderful instrumentThis is easily accessible for new musicians and for those who want to dive deep into sound sculpting. Totally worth the money, not just for more access and presets, but because the designers deserve some compensation for a great instrument. I personally use it in Logic Pro with the M1. It needs restarted and the app ran on stand-alone before it runs great in Logic. If you plug an iPad into the Mac you can enable it and sort of use it as a controller. An Animoog Z within an Animoog Z! Just bouncing presets off one another is hours of fun. Amazing for soundscapes and quick song ideas!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Another Moog in my arsenal!This was a no-brainer purchase for me. I have everything by this developer and they are all quality IOS instruments as you’d expect with their renowned legacy. This keyboard is beautifully designed. It is tweak-heaven and comes with great presets. The fact that you can load up all the presets from Animoog means that you can take those sounds and redesign them with the new one - incredible! I’m so impressed with this that I’ve started looking at the Theremini hardware synth as there’s a free controller/designer as an IOS app. That would complete my set of Moog apps! Fantastic!.Version: 1.0
✓ Animated, Visual Audio mooged outSerious piece of kit, this is. Peactically hands-on with low mid and high frequency oscillators that rspond instantly! Possibilities inspiration. Genius re-inented, algorythms and brilliant tweaks, twists, peaks and troughs - all schematically moving, indicating via colour, speed, note, sound or sample what is happening to the soundwaves - in real time. This is like working on a secret NASA project to make contact with aliens. Top marks, developers, designersc and creative/tech nuts behind this outrageously interactive, inventive, reactive 'synth'. Easy to start with hidden depths that will surprise even the most waxed up plugged-in ears with a new level of exploration. Animated Mood. Animoog..Version: 1.0.27
✓ Pretty awesome - but user presets need fixingAn amazing thick sounding synth. But as a plug-in it doesn’t allow access to user presets, only factory sounds. AUM reports it needs an update. So unfortunate if you want to tweak & save custom sounds. Works ok as a free-standing app..Version: 1.0.15
✓ It’s from Moog so of course it’s good.It’s a very playable synth and within minutes of downloading, I’d bought all the IAPs. I think it’s worth it and as it’s AUV3 as well. It’s a big improvement on the original Animoog which I seem to have had forever and still use a lot..Version: 1.0
✓ Must have for anyone curious about synthsMoog have made a wonderful tool here. Digital but warm. It's easy to pick up and play, yet there is a depth here that can have you poking around and tweaking things for many hours. For free, you can browse the many included presets, and justifiably have a great time without needing to upgrade. For a reasonable fee, you can unlock more presets or the ability to tweak presets to your liking, a very fair approach. Fantastic..Version: 1.0.15
✓ Surpasses the original in every way.Moog clearly put a tremendous amount of work updating and upgrading Animoog and the new one is really, really good. The new synth gives you all the originality of version one with new sounds available in every direction, yet retaining the unique tone that Animoog was famous for. In my opinion this is a classic and I cant wait to see how they continue to improve it. Truly beautiful warm sounds if you want them and nasty sharp edged ones are easy to obtain as well. A synth work of art in my humble opinion. No question - 5 stars..Version: 1.0.4
✓ My Go-To SynthOnce you get a handle on the versatile power of this sound machine, it offers worlds untouched by any other synth. It enhances sample-based instruments very well, is a beautiful platform for clear ethereal pads and is great for soloing. Add some continuous controllers to your performance and it becomes truly limitless..Version: 1.0.35
✓ LegendaryAbsolute must-have for anyone who is into synthesizers. Moog has been a huge force in analog synths since the very start, and their foray into iOS synth apps has set the bar. Z takes Animoog to the next level. I’ve only scratched the surface, and am amazed. Seriously, get this app. Buy the upgrades. Did I mention that it’s AUv3, and universal for Mac too? Mind boggling..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great SoundNice thick moving sounds from this app. Only niggle is its a little heavy on cpu compared to say the Synthamasters, but similar to Bleass Megalit. Doesn't my Mac M1 but shows a bit on my ipad air. If your after a "motion" kind of sound this definitly has something to offer..Version: 1.0.23
✓ Thank you 🌹Thank you for making Animoog Z 🙂🎶and such great apps.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Absolutely BrilliantJust what you need to get inspiration flowing!.Version: 1.0.12
✓ Nothing comes close to this synthMoog outdid themselves with this monster of a synth with the most comprehensive interface I know of on iOS! The possibilities for modulation, the touch interface, the clear and easy to perceive methods for “creating “ is simply vast and extremely rewarding. If this was hardware I would already own one . But thankfully it exists in software for a very very reasonable price ! Bob would be so proud I know it! Get one immediately! 👽.Version: 1.0.25
✓ Very nice update with one caveatI love this new update but missing one great feature of the original. Please consider adding missing 4 track recorder from original animoog. Will keep both versions for now..Version: 1.0.2
✓ My Secret Weapon of ChoiceRecord Producer Joe Solo here. Whenever I need to invent a new sound, which amost all the time, one of my go to creative tools is Anamoog Z. The presets are amazing, and getting the entire set they offer in the Store menu expands Anamoog 's palette with a diffferent spin on each collection offered - Well worh the price of a few bucks. Each presets can also be used as a starting point to invent your own new sounds. This is highly valuable, becasue Anamoog Z works and sounds like no other instrument can to begin with. It uses an proprietery synth engine so you can create sounds and vibes no other device so far can make. Not that you will need to make your own sounds, as the presets are incredible. And take it from me, I am a audio snob. Very few devices are unique in their sonic abilities - this is one, and it's near or on the top of such a list. I recommend anyone who wants to (endlessly) explore new soundscapes, new ways to control what you're playing, and invent clever ways of combining the two for altering your sounds in ways you didn't know existed, get Anamoog Z right now..Version: 1.0.23
✓ Welcome AdditionThe edition Z augments the collection..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Yes!I open Animoog to be presented with this exciting Christmas gift! Had no idea about it, but there was no hesitation in downloading, and it does not disappoint. It’s Animoog…Plus, basically, and going through the presets as I am, they sound absolutely lovely. I don’t know how they do it, but the sound is so full of drama and character. There’s really nothing like it on the iPad, or really in hardware, if you count the interface as part of it, which of course, it is. That added layer of graphical fun is no gimmick. It changes the way you make patches. It’s really a steal at the price..Version: 1.0.4
✓ 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….Version: 1.0.13
✓ A Classic reborn as an AUv3!The Moog Model 15 and Model D apps are all business and all about emulating classic hardware. Animoog Z feels like a playground, an experiment with things you can’t really do in a hardware synth. I’m so happy that Moog has revitalized the Animoog with AUv3 support. With that, it jumps from “fun diversion” to part of my everyday workflow. Worth every penny..Version: 1.0.5
✓ ANALOG SOUND FOR SYNTH ENTHUSIASTS!This is the truest synth on ios! Really brinfs such analog sound & the UI is inspiring :) The timbres feature is great for getting a wavetable like experience out of any sounds & recordings! ———————————————————- Small suggestions: Timbres Section: If the import timbres had an option to auto slice & fill all slots automatically. This would be incredibly useful for using field recordings & experimental audio as all source sound. maybe like equal 3-10 second slices or slice into equal parts & there is a max time for each division so to not slow things down too much. Mod Section: I feel a mod matrix similar to ApeMatrix by Apesoft or Factory by Sugarbytes. These matrices are so intuitive & the UI looks beautiful & I feel if you matched it to your current UI colors & visuals it would be really interesting :) ————————————————- Thanks to everyone on the team b/c its really a masterpiece!.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Great app!I started to be addicted to electronic music since I was a teen, my first synth was an EMS VCS3 (you can guess I am quite elderly). I cannot comment on the upgrades since I acquired the latest version of the Animoog, however I must say that I am amazed! This app goes beyond what was I was expecting! As always you Moog guys are ahead of your time!.Version: 1.0.35
✓ Unique and wonderfulThe engine, which is based upon waveform modulation, is conducive to making great sounding patches. If you read the manual and figure out your way around the “Timbers” page, the rest is self explanatory. The his is a great weapon for tweaking with the arp/sequencer running.. much better than an SH101. All the features are great, and it’s made a difference for me..Version: 1.0.31
✓ Voyage of sonic discoveryAlthough I am interested in soundscapes acquiring a real Moog synth was only secondary to my musical interests and their high price range is well above my disposable income. However spending a few quid on the app version is a total feast, add a MIDI controller and you are set for a long and spectacular journey of sonic discovery now available to anyone for less than the price of a dinner for two. Is some philanthropist subsidising this? So generous of you to make this complex and sophisticated instrument available to the multitude. Thank you!.Version: 1.0.20
