Features


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

- Anisotropic Synth Engine (ASE): 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.

- Timbre Editor: 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.

- 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.

- Additional 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.

This should be a real physical synth too!

I fell in love with Animoog from day one . Now this new version! But since the original came out and blew me away I’ve been suggesting a true physical synth from Moog with this engine ! And complete with its screen and touch interface screen /XYZ axis and physical knobs etc . MPE ribbon control and I’m shelling out the money tomorrow.!

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.

Favorite Synth of All Time

Finally brought to the Mac. Truthfully not a ton they could improve upon from the original, but still super welcome to see it supporting and evolving. Works fine in Logic 10.7.1 on Monterey, I think user forgot to load both component and software.
