Polyphonic Legato midi message
Posted: Wed Dec 16, 2015 6:35 pm
Hello everyone,
Brand new to The world of iOS music.
I don't own Animoog but planning on getting it tomorrow when I get home.
I bought an iPad to explore multi timbal / polyphonic legato (still not sure how to call this).
I've tried apps like Ondes, MorphWiz, GeoSynth, they all allow you to play the keyboard "lapsteel style" allowing what I call chord-morphing. Those apps are great but I miss the ability to design my own patches. I also started using TC-11, a fantastic app for multi touch control but I'm not sure I'm happy with the synth engine and modules, still testing it, and the main problem is that it doesn't support any midi in or out so it's hardly usable for production or songwriting.
Today I came across the Animoog Expension MIDI pack and it sounds like I've found what I've been looking for (I'm pasting Moog's description below). Just want to make sure I'm not dreaming.
Can someone confirm that it's now possible to record individual legatos and fine tune them in ableton ? Can you record automations while jamming and then tweak them? Does it come up as envelopes?
In the same way, can you record other automations, say filter and tweak that in ableton afterward? If yes can it handle a lot of parameters being automated at once? Any known bugs, like lost connection, background audio support.... ?
Also is the Animoog midi expansion pack free?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm excited I may finally have found the instrument to create synth patch, play lap-steel style and automate it all
Looking forward to hear more about this Polyphonic Legato message feature.
The keyboard MIDI output also uses a special Polyphonic Legato message, created by Moog in order to accurately record the unique playing styles made possible by Animoog’s polyphonic, continuous ribbon-style keyboard. Polyphonic Legato allows you to record and play back Animoog performances while preserving expressive glides from note to note, with full polyphony. Since the performance is recorded as MIDI, you can keep tweaking the sound even after you’ve nailed the perfect expressive rendition of the notes.
