Animoog 4track is... awesome
Just bought this iap tonight and blown away by how cool it is to build up amazing loops
Comments
I could never get it to work well. Wonder if it's been updated, or maybe my mini2 is incapable?
Anyway, nice you are having fun with it. Animoog is still one of my very favorites.
Funny, while I admire Animoog I don't end up using its sounds that much, BUT I often wish the four track was available on other apps. Just the simplest way to snippet-jam (technical term) your way into impossible to reproduce HAM.
Now that Animoog is compatible with MPE and that GeoShred can pilote this, the songs of this app are much more interesting. Best of breed
I love It! I have so many yet AniMoog and iSEM are still my go to traditional iOS synth apps.
Still trying to wrap my head around this. What can you do with mpe in animoog
The four track IAP is not available for the iphone version, is it? I don't see it in the IAP store.
In the era of Audiobus/IAA/AU, I'm generally a fan of "one-app, one-purpose" but man do I agree; the animoog four track is a delight.
Addicitive synth has a nice little built-in 4 track looper as well. Looks like it didn't make it into Addictive Pro from reading the descriptions.
I've never really use it. So you guys mostly use it to layer sounds as loops?
Can you edit the waveforms? And when you export, does it export the stems or a single stereo track?
I use it as an IAA Instrument in BM2. Record MIDI track, edit then record audio.
I'm a bit off topic here, this should be in a new thread but let summarize it like this : with MPE, you can play several notes simultaneously and bend one note without affecting the others. This give much more expression to your playing. Something closer to a real instrument. One constraint : not all midi controllers let you do this, you need a MPE compatible device or app (geoshred for example). I'm still learning but I really think that it will be a game changer for the futur musics!
No 4track in iPhone version. Just a single track with overdub.
Thanks!
yep. or long ambient jams. It would be a pain to use it for pretty much anything else.
Curious can it be set up to record a specific length like 4 or 8 bars? And can you then shift the start points of loops?
It doesn't have fixed length recording but it does have adjustable loop points per track. So if you're shooting for an 8 bar loop, you might wind up recording 8.1 bars but the loop can be set at 8. What's cool is that each track can have independent loop lengths and those loops can start anywhere in the track. So you might have an 8 bar intro and then a 16 bar loop, for example. The playhead is generally smart enough to follow where it would be if you manually scrub to a position.
You can do basic splitting of recordings but there's no other editing. And, in general, it's all a bit fiddly but it works nicely for what it is.
Yes. Well, there isn't fixed length recording but loop markers can be any length so you just set the loop to the part you want afterward. There's also basic 'split at playhead' editing for when you want to export a clip by itself at a fixed length.

One thing it doesn't make clear is that a) each track can have its own loop length and b) the loop can appear anywhere on the track. b) means you can have an intro of say 16 bars or whatever and then have the loop kick in.
It's great to have it in the app but if capturing perfect loops is the goal, Loopy (or your looper of choice) is still probably the best tool for the job. If the 4-track captured some meta data about the track (e.g. preset name and keyboard scale used when recording) that might edge it out over an external tool but as it is, Loopy is best at what it does best. And Animoog is best at sound amazing.
Just remembered a frustrating bit about the 4 track: it doesn't lock the tempo! Means if you record a track at 100bpm and then load a new preset to record track 2, the project tempo follows the tempo in the preset. It doesn't muck with the recorded audio or anything but your metronome is out of whack. @GeertBevin any way we can get a 'lock tempo' option on the sequencer added to the one-day list? Something similar to the scale lock feature?
Smooth. Once Gadget can import decent lengths of audio I might start using this BM2/Animoog combo on my iPhone. Especially since BM2 has link now.
Out of interest, you prefer recording the audio in Animoog rather than routing / recording it back into BM2? Is it just less hassle? Or better on latency? Or both?
i discovered this last night, was really confusing for a second
Similarly, way more often than not I want the scale locked to whatever I had on the first track as well. An addition to the options menu for both locks would be most welcome.
No I record ANIMoog audio directly into BM2 through IAA. Ableton Link is very helpful with certain apps that were unable to perfect MIDI iOS sync. Gadget is great as an IAA in BM2, it responds to start/stop clock with BM2 as the master.
