Jan 5th, 2022, 05:12
Moog's Animoog Z is a software synth for iOS (iPad, iPhone) and macOS. It's an upgrade of Moog's original Animoog app, reborn as Animoog Z, and this new course by trainer and sound designer Rishabh Rajan -- Animoog Z Explored -- is a grand tour of this latest version and all its innovative features.
The course starts off by creating a clean patch and resetting everything back to default, and then dives into the synthesis aspect of the Animoog Z, exploring all its functionalities. It shows how to create complex and evolving sounds from scratch, by drawing paths in a 3D space to control and morph the sound. The ENV/LFO and MOD pages are covered in depth, and there's a detailed explanation of the 5 different effects available: Arpeggiator, Filter, Thick, Delay, and Looper. The course also covers Animoog Z's on-screen keyboard and its many functions, including pressure sensitivity, and wraps up by showing how to use Animoog Z as a plugin in a DAW on a Mac.
The free Animoog Z app can be downloaded from the App Store, and this course will show how adventurous synthesists and sound designers can use it to add a whole new layer of animated sound synthesis to music productions.
