Moog Music’s Animoog synth for the iPad has been updated.
Here’s what’s new in Animoog 1.0.1:
New functionality:
- Background audio support
- Record module now has a 4 beat count-in with optional beep (configured on Setup page)
- Also on Setup page, a new Random Preset button (warning: dangerously addictive)
- Timbres page: ‘Preview’ button, select timbres silently or select & preview them audibly
- Multi-mode knobs are now easier to adjust
- Network MIDI session now enabled by default.
Bugs fixed:
- Memory leak on switching page views was causing crashes
- MIDI Clock Sync much smoother
- MIDI note to KB display mapping is now correct
- Handles MIDI NoteOn w/ velocity 0 as a NoteOff.
Animoog was already a favorite with Synthtopia readers. Background audio support is a welcome addition, though, and the Random Preset function will probably cause the loss of countless hours of readers’ time.
And Animoog is still $.99 in the App Store.
Check it out and let us know what you think of the update!
indeed “dangerously addictive”. i personally would have appreciated an option to select
which parameters are randomized vs. which stay as i set them, but hey, this way i get forced-introduced
to new concepts i would have never thought of! those 99 cents just keep on giving.
Do I have to pay for the update or is it free for the owners of the previous version?
Free.
The app is $.99 and the update is free.
Currently a complete no-brainer.
Update is sick! Just keeps getting better!
The new background audio feature doesn’t work well at all and this is such a shame. It cuts out some when you switch to another IOS app, so it really isn’t usable. Unless I’m doing something wrong I think it needs real work to get it right.
Im totally missing it…. how do you get the update? Thanks
Got it…. I have to BUY APP for it to update for free.
My improvised little Animoog piece can be found here: http://soundcloud.com/tonwelle/big-v-in-the-sky. Of course I mixed it in Live and added some drums and used follow actions etcetera to make it moving around the captured sounds. Animoog is really inspiring to me.
Praying for a step sequencer and or arpeggitor. Please, please, please Moog!!
