Moog iPhone app

[museslave]

The problem is that if the company which manufactures your precision musical equipment starts catering to the specifically-consumer market, they discover that that is where the money is,

I don't think Moog Music was ever unaware of this.

I think your response is disingenuous. You know exactly what I mean, and whether you agree with the point I'm making or not, it is somewhat silly to focus on this aspect which really has nothing to do with the point you know I'm making.

I just bought this App. I like analog, I like good digital, and I like tapping on a fun App on the iPhone when stuck in a commute. Its all good. Does Moog do analog because its superior, or because its what Moog does best? There's no supremist thinking going on, Moog *is* history in analog synthesis so of course Moog continue to make analog synths. For the life of me I don't really understand where the Moog Guitar or the iPhone Filtatron fit in. In my opinion, the iPhone app is like a keyring or poster: its not a Moog but its a connection with a brand that makes you feel good. So I bought it, so sue me.

Just bought Filtatron and discovered it can be used as one vco monosynth albeit without traditional keyboard but with the XY pad or the Release knob in the vco settings to tap on and trigger notes. If you set release to on then the note will not sound indefinitely and you can use it as a more traditional synth.

And it sounds really really good! I guess this shows that if Moog wants to they can make a very convincing software emulation of the real thing, sounding better than the competition in software land. Even the dry vco sounds fat and warm and that's fantastic. Now I hope this is the stepping stone to a fully fledged Vsti!

By the way I use it on iPad which works like a charm and the large XY pads are very convenient.

Just got the app. It's very good and will be very useful for making music. Good job, Moog!

Dude - leave off attacking Mark. Moog is a COMPANY first and foremost. The Bob Moog foundation is something ELSE. GET IT?

WOW!!!

The good folks at Moog Music have done it again.

This is one of the coolest apps I have, and they can do so much more with it easily. They could add a murf, ring mod etc. I'm not complaining at all that these things are missing. I'm only saying this is very hip indeed. I hope they keep on developing and perfecting the app/s. As much as I love my hardware, this software is just as cool of a tool for making music. I will have to play with taking sound apps from my Iphone and running line in on my Ipad. It really is a new way of making music.

For you people out there who are hardware snobs do yourself a favor GET OVER IT. The Filtatron is a phuc load of fun. Thank you Moog.

This conclude my exuberant fanboy public service announcement.

I also found this last night. http://www.ikmultimedia.com/irig/features/ This little bit will come in handy.

is the Irig compatible with the filtatron? amos?

Who sez that Moog had much involvement in the App at all? Audio DSP skills are totally unrelated to anything Moog have made so far. If I'm wrong, then I would be very pleased to be wrong. This is IMO a Moog designed and branded App, but not made by Moog.

Perhaps future apps will include these. It would be great if they could all integrate like hardware foogers.

Credits on the app say this:

Concept Lead: Amos Gaynes
Code: Chris Wolfe (Jasuto)
Art: Shaun Ellwood
Loops: Ben Hovey, Chris Wolfe
Inspiration: Dr. Robert A. Moog

Jasuto is a cool app that works like a modular synth, but has interesting gravitational auto- connecting patch points that can be affected by modulation.

Hard to explain, but easy to grasp when working in the graphic environment.

I have been using the new Moog app for about 2 hours now.
FUN!
FUN!
It sounds good.
There are some neat sounds to be made with the ipod touch.

Strangly.... my Jasuto app does not load anymore.
I updated my ipod and Juasto quit working.

So far, the Moog app is my favorite music app.


Initial impressions are good!!!!


thanks Moog........ keep it up.
Release more.
