As far as I know there isn´t a norwegian word for ollning.
Is there a brit word for it?

Maybe the craze will be introduced by our very own Jez Clarkson? Laughing

"The Ollning of the Moogs"

Shocked

I can't believe how a discussion about AniMoog turned into a discussion about ollning - that's one thing I would never have seen coming. I hear enough about ollning every day at work, thank you very much. Rape, pillage, kill

A breif explanation about the word is that "ollon" means "glans" (the anonatomical term), and has recently been turned into a verb.

You should try employment in Norway. My workplace is an ollning-free environment. Let us pray

Too bad that our local 4Sound shop has been literally tipped over into ollning hell. Crying or Very sad

Think about it, there they are.. the cute little Moogs... fermenting.. Shocked

BTW, I did not get around to check the AniMoog integration with the Little Phatty.

Crying or Very sad

What integrations are there exactly and are they for the voyager as well?

So, music stores are allowing people to rub their junk on $5000 synths? Is this for real?

I picked up a copy of the Moog AniMoog - remember, that's the topic here.

It sounds great. I haven't figured it out yet, but I'm sure it will become one of my goto apps for making music.

Have you been rubbing yourself against it though?

The AniMoog is absolutely OK. Warmly recommended. It is impossible to go wrong with this one.

Having the balls to call it "the first professional synth for the iPad" is also impressive, IMO this is so mind boggling arrogant that it ranks as number one on the list of "WMDs of stupid marketing". I had not really expected Moog Music to try something like that. I reckon they have hired a well reputed marketing agency so they are probably without ( much ) guilt.

I have a funny feeling (in fact I think I'll put money on it!) Moog have also hired a platoon of viral marketing doods to hang out on all the cool iThang blogs, to rant at all those who are quite 100% into AniMoog (Lovin' it 99.9%- just isn't good enough.....), just to get mega appstore ratings.

We can only hope that they aren´t just about to kill their brand. I miss that trustworthy, restrained and humble approach from the Robert Moog era. The products are still more than OK. Too bad the marketing people are seemingly moving the brand towards a rehash of an Armani fragrance. scratch

It sounds good and is quite playable.

As I understand it, it is like a wave table synth. You can load up 8 different table slots which are morphed as the cursor moves on the y axis, z axis scans through the wavetable. Reminds me of VS or wavestation. Poly aftertouch is nice.

I bought both the filter app and the AniMoog. Well spent 2.x euro.

I like the AniMoog, but there is little very new about the interface and the concepts. The sound is very good and the design clearly shows that they have made some sensible choices regarding the interface. IMO it is less innovative than it seems like at first, but that is not really a problem and innovative does not equal good.
Bottom line is that it is a great little instrument that many will have a lot of fun playing with and some will make great music with it. Idea

I have actually said the same thing about guitars and synths in general. Laughing

I´m still hoping for a 96x class Moog sequencer app, but I reckon Five12 or someone else will come up with something truly smart before Moog Music goes there. There is probably no mass market for something like that.

And for polyphony the Roland 1080 module will set you back even less .. Very Happy
