1. 5/5True Innovation

   It’s a genuinely unique synthesis paradigm. It looks alien, but it’s only a wavetable scanner. The special bit is that you get 8 wavetables at once in a crossfading matrix. It’ll take a day or two to really get it in your head that the 3D display is just 3 extra LFOs and a double joystick, but the architecture is surprisingly intuitive and easy to leverage. This might make it more suitable for warm, wavering vintage-style sounds than any other wavetable synth while remaining powerful in more modern applications. Polyphonic modulation is especially strong, and everything between “alive” and “unhinged” is on tap here. It’s not perfect. My main complaints are for limited mod destinations which do not include the amp envelope, and a lack of meaningful labeling/feedback on the vector grid and time functions. A lot of feeling things out, which makes it seem organic but also a little stiff and abstract when banging out intentional ideas. The soft keyboard cannot be hidden, which makes it awkward as a plugin and spoils an overall frictionless interface on small screens. Overall straightforward, impressively practical, fun, and in a subclass of its own.

2. 5/5The perfect iPad synth

   This app is amazing! The 3d path & orbit modulations seemed like they might be a gimmick at first but they are genuinely useful and it’s a fun way to get really complex wavetable modulations easily. It’s also the type of interface that can only exist on a touchscreen so it’s a very unique instrument that’s different from any hardware synth. There’s a good mixture of being able to drag stuff around and get random crazy noises that you never expected, but it’s also straightforward enough that you can dial in specific sounds if you want to be more methodical. And I like that they didn’t try to add every feature in the world like some software synths do, even though the app is split across 5 screens it actually doesn’t feel too menu-divey, it feels pretty contained and approachable to build patches from scratch. On top of all that, it sounds great. The basic oscillator waves and filter with drive can sound like you’re playing a Moog analog synth, or it can sound super digital and modern.

3. 5/5Update below: Back to Five⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s

   I don’t know if this might solve the freezing issue that many have experienced lately with AnimoogZ but it has worked for me in regard to the issue and has not, for far, returned. I disabled Apple Intelligence & Siri from learning from the app. You can find this feature in settings, so AnimoogZ is back up to a five star rating, But it would be even better if there were a haptic feature to the AnimoogZ. Keyboards are also percussive instruments and that is something that is missing in Animoog. Haptics would help in providing that feeling. Updated from Except for the keyboard, the controls no longer responds to touch. A few moments after opening the app the controls ie: ENV/LFO, MOD EFFECTS, ORBS, PITCH & MOD WHEELS cannot be used. SCALE ARP ATTACK SUSTAIN DECAY etc cannot be accessed. This is on a 5th gen iPad Pro running iPadOS 18.2.1. Animoog has been a great creation and innovative in its design & growth and the developers have been generous in making it available to the public. I’ve been with them from the very beginning. I just hope this is just a glitch with the latest OS update (works fine on my iPhone 13Pro) and will be corrected in the next update. Update: Still waiting for an update or a fix from the developers concerning the freezing issue the has affected the function of animoog z. It’s been going on for a few months now but there hasn’t been any words regarding it. I’m sure I’m not the only customer that’s been affected.

4. 5/5Loving it…but purchase did not unlock on all compatible devices

   Aloha, After playing with this for a few days I decided to purchase. I used the app store on my 2109 MacBook Pro. When I went to my iPad, I have the limited version. I’ve tried clicking on the “Unlock Full App” that is labeled as “Already Purchased” when I visit the App Store on my ipad, but no go. I’m happy to up this rating to 5 in exchange for some developer support to get this up and running on my ipad (without purchasing again, if possible!) I reached out a few days ago thru the contact form on the website but no word so far. Help, please. Thanks in advance!! Update: It took a while but the developer got back to me to explain that this was a feature of the App Store. I was, indeed, able to get this unlocked on my iPad and am busy thoroughly enjoying learning the mysteries. Awesome!! Thank you for a sweet rabbit hole to dive down.

5. 5/5Perfect for those who are looking to start an understanding of adventure in synthesis

   A perfect launch seed for those contemplating entering the world of analog / digital synthesis and the beauty of sound. I find it a great start for those who are beginning or even intermediate levels. The fact that I myself have synesthesia , which is where the brain associates sound with color and or numbers etc… these color orbs are a blessing. I’m a seasoned ARP and basically all Moog synth auteur. This is already a lovely free app that allows me to choose my own add one which I will start my scapes of my own city. I look forward to really championing this app and pleasing the creators. I am really looking forward to tomorrow now..
