Moog’s latest offering is the Animoog Z softsynth, which is an incredibly appealing update to their previous Animoog software. The original sound engine has been exploited in a number of professional and musical settings, with esteemed artists like Suzanne Ciani being devotees, while the sound engine itself takes centre stage in the appealing Moog Theremini instrument. Now Animoog Z offers a full 16-note polyphony, with extensive performance control, particularly if played via a touchscreen device.
