Moog Music Forum

Hi Amos & folks - love Animoog, and I'm really happy playing it live. Having said that, I think there are a few things that would help take it to the next level. My requests, in rough order of priority:


1) Multi-touch edit path - multiple fingers on multiple path points

2) Ability to turn off going into Overdub from Record

3) White/Pink/Brown noise waveforms

4) Hold switch for keyboard

5) Ability to change delay times in non-"analog" manner - truncate/repeat instead of change pitch

6) Ability to modulate delay times/tap subdivisions

7) Ability to delete single points in path (instead of having to clear all)

8) Undo in record?

9) Audio input in wave selection - just like the old WSAD

10) Delay feedback, time, and mix as a MOD destination

11) Clickless looping

12) User wavetables

13) Mute switch for delay input, for dub/ambient

14) Keyboard shouldn't reset octave location when adding/deleting keys


Looking forward to the next update!

Really want:
+1 For MIDI CC mapping to all functions
+1 For Metronome click while recording
Additional LFO

Would like to have:
+1 Sequencer (16 step with loadable /savable patterns)
+1 Longer Record Length
+1 Adjustable Record Length (time is fine, tempo & measures syncable to MIDI clock is better)
Tempo MIDI sync, or ability to fine tune (knob).

Even if you did nothing though, animoog would still kick ass. Great frigg'n app!!!

yes, this will happen! MIDI out is one of the top development priorities for Animoog right now. Expect all sorts of updates to come, starting as soon as the Minitaur is shipping...

Good stuff is coming...

I see the Minitaur is starting to ship so updates should be coming soon... The best iOS music app is about to get better

I'd love to have an option on the MIDI OUT that makes each voice be routed to a specific midi channel.

For example, I could route the four synth voices to four separate midi channels. This would be crucial maintain the flexibility that you get within the animoog app in polyphonic synths outside.

If I had the animoog keys y-axis control filter frequency and all info went to one channel, the modulation from the keys would end up conflicting with eachother. But if I had a voice on midi channels 1,2,3,4, I could easily set up a combo patch on my synth that would be as flexible as the moog app where each voice can sweep filter freq independent of eachother. As far as I can tell there's really no way to get the full glory of this keyboard unless that's an option. Am I right about that? Each voice on the animoog is super flexible in app, this would maintain that out of the app too.

+1 midi CC mappings out
+1 User Wavetables
+1 for Sampling and additional timbres

+1 for individual MIDI channel per voice

+1 Delay time, feedback, mix as a modulation destination.

How about an option for longer keys or dual keyboards for performance?

More suggestions... I'll stop soon.

Mod destinations for envelope ADSR and envelope amount forall envelopes.
More extreme pitch mods.
Waveshapes from timbres as a mod source
Bit crusher as a destination
Sampler Rate reducer as an effect
Ability to tune each timbre and to modulate those frequencies

Can you explain this one in a little more detail? All your other suggestions are clear to me (and good, if do-able!).

Thanks!

Basically being able to tune the timbres means they have their own frequency setting, so you can pitch them up or down independent of eachother like you can an oscillator on a normal synth.

Then you could make any of the different timbers tuned differently. so as the path travels through the x-y pad the pitches would change. Then you could make those modulation destinations, which opens things up to FM synthesis in a way that isn't limited to the pitchbend.

Please add osc (open sound control) support so I can use animoog with Linux via wifi.

Thank you.

+1 User wave tables/timbres
Best if can record, adit, view and import audio within Animoog (asking a lot I know!)

Physic based control over orbit object, rotate device etc...

+1 undo record button ( so it's not as scary overdubbing when i have an extra special loop going)
+1 hold switch for depressed key
+1 larger keys option?

Thank you again, for this awesome synth!

Note latching would be awesome.

Also master transpose would be very useful for when controlling AM externally

And key scale to apply to incoming midi notes

+1 for full sized keys. It would be nice to wring out the kind of performances you can get from Bebot on the Animoog. Musically, I'm not a huge fan of the below example, but it clearly shows the advantage using the all of the ipad screen as a playable area:

Just downloaded Animoog in order to use it for live performance for some psychedelic background sounds/music. It's awesome but I was fairly disappointed that there is no HOLD switch for the keyboard. It renders it kind of useless for the use I intend it. Other than that, this app is amazing. It opens up a totally new horizon of sound creation.


So... HOLD SWITCH FOR THE KEYBOARD please asap!!!
