So just over a month ago I moved to Moog City USA: Asheville, North Carolina. Asheville was home to Bob Moog, and is still home to Moog Music, whose headquarters is located downtown. At the end of this month the town will also host Moogfest, a 3-day music festival spanning 11 Asheville venues. So when I heard about Animoog, a new iPad app, I felt a sort of obligation to check it out – and when I saw the price was, for the moment, only .99¢, it seemed a no-brainer. I’m happy to report, it was well worth the price.
I have not been blessed with the opportunity to spend a lot of time with real-life Moog synths, but from what I can tell, the sounds produced by Animoog are faithful to the classic Moog tone, and with all the knobs you can tweak, the range of sounds that can be produced seems limitless. You never know, you might here a little Animoog action on my next album…
Oh yeah, the price goes up to $30 next month, so you might want to pick this one up soon.
