ANISOTROPIC SYNTH ENGINE USER’S MANUAL
Animoog is a professional polyphonic synthesizer that carries on Dr. Robert Moog's exploration of touch-surface technologies to create new and expressive musical instruments. The new Anisotropic Synthesis Engine (ASE) is the heart of Animoog. It is a dynamic waveform animator comprised of an X/Y grid with 8 TIMBRES containing 16 waveforms each. These TIMBRES include sources derived from Moog synthesizers, the MF-103 12-Stage Phaser, and the MF-105 MURF.
X/Y PAD - The X/Y PAD is an 8 x 16 grid of selected TIMBRES that evolve as each voice moves through the 2 dimensional space, leaving a colored trail. The grid is composed of 8 assignable waveforms arranged top to bottom on the TIMBRES page. Touching and moving the large green dot on the grid offsets the voice PATH and ORBIT location of a voice. unipolar. KB TRIG re-triggers the start phase of the LFO waveform with each new voice triggered.
MODULES- To the right of the display screen area are MODULE slots that control other synthesis and performance parameters. FILTER MODULE- A resonant filter, which has a selectable LP (Lowpass), BP (Bandpass), or HP (High-pass) response. The filter alters the tone of the ASE by amplifying, passing, or attenuating certain frequencies. Resonance emphasizes the filter's cutoff frequency and self-oscillates at higher settings. Select the desired response by using the rotary knob.
