And this could be Ableton Live killer… It has been 3 years already we’ve been given Ableton Live 8 and since then we only get some bug fixes and partner instruments from them. I was hoping for Live 9 for 2 years and honestly I was giving up, but last week Bitwig Studio has been announced. Well, now, I’m not hoping for Live 9, I’m hoping for Bitwig beta test! This announcement shinned a new light on whole thing with Ableton, becauce Bitwig founders are former Ableton application developers!!! So, it looks like most talented application developers left Ableton for any reason and started to make their own DAW. Bitwig Studio seems to feature all those things Ableton users has been asking for ages, well Ableton does not listen, but Bitwig does. Nobody knows how it’s good Bitwig Studio is going to be, but I’m pretty sure it won’t be a failure. And some new competion in Ableton Live market will be only good for us users!

First things first. Animoog app is available for introductionary price 0,79 EUR, grab it while it’s cheap, there is no doubt, this is best synthetizer app for iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad. I’ve tested and it sounds great, probably it’s best sounding music app for iPhone for sure and for this introductionary price it’s a “must have”. 

Here is what official website says about Animoog for iPhone.

Animoog, powered by Moog’s new Anisotropic Synth Engine (ASE), is the first professional polyphonic synthesizer designed for the iPad and iPhone 4. ASE allows you to dynamically move through an X/Y space of unique timbres to create a constantly evolving and expressive soundscape.
 
Animoog captures the vast sonic vocabulary of Moog synthesizers and applies it to the modern touch surface paradigm, enabling you to quickly sculpt incredibly fluid and dynamic sounds that live, breathe, and evolve as you play them.
 
Visually captivating and sonically immersive, Animoog brings iPad and iPhone based music production to the next level. Whether you are new to synthesis or a professional, Animoog’s unique user interface gives you the power to easily create a visually vibrant and sonically rich universe. It is the ultimate tool for total creative expression!
 
Animoog’s diverse library of timbres is derived from analog waveforms captured from classic Moog oscillators, both vintage and modern, and run through a boutique’s worth of high-end outboard and analog signal processors. These include modular synth panels, Moogerfooger pedals and more.
