Shape Synthesizer and Sphero

I wanted for this synth to support Core Midi before sharing it with you and now it does! I also don’t know another app that works seamlessly with Sphero.

Shape is a polyphonic synthesizer allowing the user to draw the shape of the oscillator waveform. The positive side of the oscillation is represented by 32 blocks and the negative side is its mirror, generating all sorts of possible raw retroish sounds. Shape is best experienced with akai synthstation 25.

Features:

+++ 16 voices.
+++ Attack.
+++ Decay.
+++ LFO envelope.
+++ Delay.
+++ Akai synthstation 25 compatible.
+++ CoreMIDI (USB or Network).
+++ MAPI audio copy.
+++ Soundcloud upload.
+++ Accelerometer frequency modulation.
+++ Sphero accelerometer controller.
+++ On screen 25 key stylophone style keyboard.
+++ Arpeggio.
+++ Tape.

Shape Synthesizer is available for $1.99

As part of Moog Music’s birthday celebration honoring founder Bob Moog, Animoog for iPad is available for $9.99 through 5/29/2012.

Animoog, powered by the new Anisotropic Synth Engine (ASE), is Moog Music’s first professional polyphonic synthesizer designed exclusively for the iPad. ASE allows you to move dynamically through an X/Y space of unique timbres to create a constantly evolving and expressive soundscape.

Animoog captures the vast sonic vocabulary of Moog synthesizers and applies it to the modern touch surface paradigm, enabling you to quickly sculpt incredibly fluid and dynamic sounds that live, breathe, and evolve as you play them.

Visually captivating and sonically immersive, Animoog brings iPad based music production to the next level. Whether you are new to synthesis or a professional, Animoog’s unique user interface gives you the power to easily create a visually vibrant and sonically rich universe. It is the ultimate tool for total creative expression!

Animoog’s diverse library of timbres is derived from analog waveforms captured from classic Moog oscillators, both vintage and modern, and run through a boutique’s worth of high-end outboard and analog signal processors. These include modular synth panels, Moogerfooger pedals and more.

Animoog is the newest innovation in creative tools from Moog Music, the legendary electronic musical instrument company founded by Bob Moog in Asheville, NC.

** NOTE: IF NO SOUND from iPad speaker but headphone is working, this is an iPad settings issue. Go to the Settings app, General tab, set “Use Side Switch to: Mute” then turn switch on side of iPad on (Mute) and off again (Unmute). Then set “Use Side Switch to: Lock Rotation” to prevent problem in future. **

Key Features:

• Anisotropic Synth Engine (ASE) – An exciting new Moog technology that allows the user to move dynamically through an X/Y space of unique timbres to create an expressive and constantly evolving soundscape.

• Timbre page – Assemble unique sounds in the X/Y space from timbres of a wide variety of vintage and modern Moog synthesizers and pedals. Note: this is NOT simple sample playback.

• Polyphonic Modulation – Simply slide your fingers to control multiple modulation parameters in Animoog right from the keys.

• Polyphonic Pitch Shifting – Easily manipulate the exact pitch of each note in a chord by rotating or sliding your fingers.

• Delay Module – A classic analog style ping pong delay.

• Thick Module – From bit crushing to unison voice detuning and drive, this module adds depth, edge and character to Animoog’s already massive sound palette.

• Moog Filter – The classic four-pole Moog ladder filter with High Pass, Low Pass and Band Pass modes.

• Record Module – Record your performance and overdub new layers, or play along live. Transfer recordings between Animoog and any other apps which support the general pasteboard.

• Path Module – Direct ASE through Animoog’s X/Y space to create new expressive and shifting sounds that will blow your mind!

• Orbit Module – Control the rate of orbit in the X/Y space around the path you created for subtle to insane voice manipulation.

• Flexible Modulation Matrix – Amp, Filter and Mod Envelopes, LFO with infinitely variable wave shapes and sync, and four super flexible and assignable modulation slots.

• MIDI in – Use your Little Phatty or any other MIDI controller to control Animoog.

Animoog is available for the iPhone for only $0.99 for a limited time!

HyperSpace 3D Synthesizer App
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , ,

HyperSpace 3D Synthesizer App

The makers of some of our most favorite apps (MegaCurtis and Curtis Heavy) bring you HyperSpace. This is a waveform-sculpting 3-D oscilloscope synth.

HyperSpace uses a unique algorithm to generate endless mesmerizing images from sound. It works similarly to a harmonograph, but uses its 3 voice oscillators instead of pendulums to create images. Each oscillator is mapped to a dimension in 3-D space. Playing a single note creates a wave, like on an ordinary oscilloscope. Playing two notes at once creates a plane as with the harmonograph, and playing a three note chord creates a volume.

There are two oscillators to crossfade between. These can be set to standard shapes as with older synths, but HyperSpace also lets you sculpt the waves with touch! Changing the wave shapes of course alters the sound, but it also alters the generated imagery. The variety of imagery generated with this simple algorithm is truly astonishing.

HINT: check out the Application Settings for some rendering options: color/mono, trails on/off.

Features:
• Selectable keyboard scales for easier jams
• Fat keys option for fat fingers
• Three voice polyphony
• Two LFO modulators
• Lowpass filter effect
• Echo effect
• Audio Copy
• iTunes file sharing
• Works on iPad and iPhone 4s/4/3GS

HyperSpace 3D Synthesizer is only $0.99

Richard Devine Sounds For Animoog

Richard Devine Sounds For Animoog

Sound designer and recording artist Richard Devine has produced a fresh new set of sounds for Moog’s Animoog iOS Synthesizer.

NOTE: You must update to the latest version of Animoog in order to purchase the Devine Expansion Pack

From ethereal lead sounds to sci-fi insanity, the Devine expansion pack takes total advantage of Animoog’s uniquely expressive keyboard, modulation and timbre array.

The Devine Expansion Pack includes 32 original presets handcrafted by Richard Devine himself. Also included are 43 new Timbres nearly doubling Animoog’s sonic vocabulary.

Richard Devines inspiration for creating The Devine Expansion Pack

“I have been a fan of Animoog since the day it was launched. Animoog’s ability to mix and match classic analogue waveforms and also digital waveforms is amazing!

Being able to sweep, automate, and control them within the Anisotropic Synth Engine is what makes it such an expressive tool for creating new sounds.

With the Devine Expansion Pack, I wanted to develop a sound set that took full advantage of all Animoog’s features.

Something that was unique and could be played musically or controlled chaotically.

The ultimate goal was to create a set of futuristic synth sounds that inspire new ideas and new music.

I hope you all enjoy it,

Richard Devine

Each Expansion Pack for Animoog contains powerful presets that inspire creativity as well as new timbres for creating sounds completely unique to you!

Sascha made this song using the recently released Devine Expansion Pack for Animoog exclusively for Moog. This is the process by which he composed this song, in his own words:

ALL of the Synth sounds you hear are from the Devine Expansion Pack presets via Animoog.

The only non Moog elements are a sampled Kick, Snare, Hi Hat and a small String and Brass sample.The goal: *Only* use Devine Expansion Pack sounds in Animoog sounds and write something musical, like I would in the real world.

Animoog is available for $29.99 iPad and $9.99 iPhone
