Mogees Play Kickstarter Started

Tom Synth Anatomy

Hi Guys
I want to share you this new product from Mogees. There coming three free apps for it and also a new sensor microphone
You can get it currently for a very interesting price
Some videos which I produced with the first version, you can find in my article on the top

I'm pretty sure that the apps will have AudioBus and IAA Support

Watching the video, I think you will be informed a lot of how it works
You can transform your objects in instruments

Here are my videos about the first version

Hey i just watched your ad in YouTube ,it looks like a lot of fun , a mix of impaktor, airvox and audiosurf...I am downloading it right now .
edit : i need a captor sensor to work it ...

What I'm mostly interested in is the programmability of this. I can't quite get my head around the way it works. It clearly is different from Impaktor because it converts signal to midi but I was expecting some kind of setting in the app that tunes particular sounds to specific frequency range for it to be isolated. I can't see that in the settings in the videos but there might be more settings in the background I guess.

There was a fun percussive app that used that idea but I can't remember the name. The one where the app would learn an acoustic sound and assign it to a pad it would then trigger. Anyone remembers that?

have a first Generation Mooges, but i am very disappointed about it!

the App is little better now, they insert a physical Modelling synth, its nice, but get better results out of Impaktor....
and the analyse of the different sounds which should play then different MIDI NOTES is....
let me say....spongy.
even if i try to find different sounds to play on a let me take a cajon, is not realy possible if i "slap" or "hit" the side or hit the "kick" it overlaps the analysed sounds and then the kick play the snare sound and/or the slap and retour...what works if you hit with another material like a penny or a Ring or lighter then it works, BUT i dont wanna use different things to play the Mogees like they promise, and if you look on the videos they often use mogees with the hand to trigger and then something else to trigger....

i try it maybe 7-8hours...since i have it (more then a year now) last time around christmas, but......NO, no, no....

as i saw the first video it looks like you could really play differrent notes:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mogees/mogees-play-the-world/description
thats total fake, cause its a sequence which they set before in the app and the guitar play this sequence and it looks like Bruno Zamborlin listen to the melody and try it to play it on the fruitbasket.....feign false facts.
...
now they do the third kickstarter with mogees play....dont know the BIG differents between the 3mogees generation, looks like the same product with other colors & maybe little more upgrade in the specs but, it is what is......for me:

sound and smoke.

Obiwahnkentobi - there are new apps coming out for Mogees and i think they will improve the complete thing
I have made three videos and I had a lot of fun with them it's not perfect at all but I ordered a second one for 33 € which was a no-brainer.

Cheers @obiwahnkentobi it's good to hear an actual user's experience. It is often the case that promo videos are oversimplified and the trick is to see through the final cut stuff because they're all shot in trendy looking flats or sunny cool looking parts of town full or murals and kids skating around. The reality often is that when you open the box in your maybe not so sunny or cool location you end up with cables and your device dangling everywhere and struggling to get any useable sound other than that one nice yet boring after a while PING sound.

Having said all that I'm sure many people play with impaktor for a day or two and then consign it to the dusty shelves of their cloud. If I wasn't able to integrate impaktor in live music making I'd be there too. It's the same situation with midi guitars and vocoders. They're brilliant when they work but to set them up live it is a completely different ball game. I even got myself the voice box by electro harmonics after failing to get a live useable voco solution but even that is packed up and ready to go on eBay.

@supadom - is that Voxkit you were trying to remember?

I don't know if it's a video-making issue or not, but there seems to be quite a bit of latency here.

I did back the Kickstarter project.

Tom Synth Anatomy

It's a bit of latency in the video but it's not the latency from the product

For the users: The best results, you receive when the circles in the GUI are not in the same place but like in my video good apart of each other When they are all in the same place, you trigger one gesture with 3 sounds which is not the best for playing

First thought. Reminds me of the music video Money by the Flying Lizards from the 70s

Yep, that's the one! Cheers @funjunkie27

i use mogees now just for triggering impaktor, this works good, YES.
but it works with a contact mic for 10bugs well too

but if the new apps are coming out....will give it a third try

Looking forward to your impressions.

Particularly interested in fast playing (latency) and melodic use.

Could VoxKit! be the app you're thinking of?
