Moog Animoog Z review | MusicRadar

Moog Animoog Z takes sound design to new heights with its intuitive 3D interface and versatile modulation capabilities. It excels in generating a wide array of tones, making it suitable for both classic and modern sounds. However, the lack of AUv3 support for major DAWs like Pro Tools and Ableton Live is a significant drawback. While the synth's creative potential is impressive, it may not fully satisfy users looking for seamless integration across platforms. Overall, Animoog Z is a compelling instrument that balances playability with depth—definitely worth trying, especially with its free version!

First Look Review: Moog Animoog Z for iPhone - gearnews.com

gearnews.com

Moog Animoog Z reinvents the iconic synth with a stunning 3D interface and innovative waveform manipulation, enhancing playability for musicians. The new Wave Cube offers exciting sound sculpting possibilities, though the lack of a prominent filter control feels like a missed opportunity. While the app shines in its interactive design and array of presets, seasoned users may find it doesn't stray far enough from its predecessor's familiar sound engine. Still, the overall experience is captivating, especially on an iPad, making it a joyful addition to any musician's toolkit—just be ready for a bit of frustration on the iPhone's smaller display.

Electronic music pioneer and modular synthesis icon Suzanne Ciani invites you inside her seaside home studio for a dynamic improvised composition that demonstrates the unique sonic character of Animoog Z integrated with her Buchla modular system.

In the hands of one of Animoog’s earliest adopters, “Currents” presents a captivating representation of the evolved app’s striking new visual and auditory features, incorporating imported and enhanced presets from the original Animoog. An “unexpectedly powerfully expressive tool” for live performance, according to Ciani, Animoog has been a staple of the five-time Grammy award-nominated composer’s musical repertoire for years.
