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 (Band-

pass), 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.

DRIVE-

Controls the amount of pre-filter drive level, from zero signal to full

saturation, modeled after the classic Moog ladder filter design. Note: Unity

gain is at 5. Bipolar modulation of DRIVE inverts the signal phase as it passes

below zero.

ENV-

Is the bipolar amount of filter envelope modulation.

FREQUENCY-

Is the initial cutoff frequency of the filter.

RES-

Is the resonance or emphasis at the cutoff frequency. Range is from

zero to full oscillation.

ORBIT MODULE-

Is a low frequency oscillator that changes TIMBRE by modulating

voice location in the X/Y space.

SYNC-

Synchronizes the RATE to divisions or multiples of the BPM clock

ranging from 8 Wn (Whole notes) to 1/64 Wn.

RATE-

Controls the frequency of movement through the X/Y space.

X AMOUNT and Y AMOUNT-

Control the range of modulation in each

corresponding direction. The effects of ORBIT combine with PATH and the

green offset dot.

PATH MODULE-

A set of 1 - 14 lines with up to 15 points that change TIMBRE by

modulating voice location in the X/Y space.

SYNC-

Synchronizes the RATE to divisions or multiples of the BPM clock

ranging from 8 Wn (Whole notes) to 1/64 Wn.

RATE-

Controls the frequency of movement through X/Y space along the PATH.

MODE-

Sets the type of motion along the path. LOOPING repeats the path

in one direction, BACK-FORTH moves in both directions and ONCE for

movement from start with latching at the end.

EDIT-

Activates editing of the PATH. Select X/Y PAD from the top tab, turn

EDIT on, and touch locations within the X/Y grid to set points. To move any

of the points, touch the point and slide it to the desired location. When editing

is complete, turn EDIT off. Leaving the PATH module also turns EDIT off.

CLEAR-

Removes all lines and points. The effects of PATH combine with

ORBIT and the green offset dot.

THICK MODULE-

Controls distortion, layering and stereo detuning effects.

CRUSH-

Increases aliasing and digital distortion by bit and sample rate reduction.

DRIVE-

Adds analog-style overdrive saturation to the overall output of the

combined voices.

DETUNE-

Sets the tuning offsets of UNISON voice modes. With UNISON off,

DETUNE has no effect on the voice. With 2 or 4 voices selected via the UNISON

knob, voices are panned hard left and right and DETUNE sets pitch offset from

DETUNE-

Sets the tuning offsets of UNISON voice modes. With UNISON off,

DETUNE has no effect on the voice. With 2 or 4 voices selected via the UNISON

knob, voices are panned hard left and right and DETUNE sets pitch offset from

zero to + one octave. UNISON settings do not affect polyphony.

DELAY MODULE-

Adds time based spatial effects such as comb filtering, doubling

or echo to the combined voices.

SYNC-

Synchronizes the delay TIME to the BPM clock ranging from 1-8 Qn

(quarter notes).

TIME-

Sets delay time.

FEEDBACK-

Sets the amount of delayed signal remixed to the delay input.

MIX-

Sets the balance between dry and effected signal.

RECORD MODULE-

A virtual sound-on-sound module that controls recording,

layering and overdubbing of real-time performances using Animoog.

PLAY/STOP-

Plays back the recorded performance.

RECORD-

Clears the memory buffer and records a new performance. A white line

around the indicator LED shows the current time in the record buffer. At the end of
the maximum record time (or when the RECORD button is pressed a second time),
recording stops and the record light turns off. PLAY and OVERDUB automatically
engage to allow playing of additional parts to be recorded and layered with the first
recorded performance.

OVERDUB-

Can be toggled on or off at any time while PLAY is engaged.

OVERDUB allows recording of additional layers of audio over an existing

recorded performance.

BUFFER-

Allows saving of a good take or mix so that an overdubbed

performance can be replaced if desired. The BUFFER is stored as a file,

clipboard.wav, which can be exported via iTunes and imported into a

Digital Audio Workstation for further editing.

COPY-

Copies the current Record buffer to the clipboard.

PASTE-

Places the current contents of the clipboard into the Record buffer

Note: COPY and PASTE can also be used to move audio between Animoog

and other apps that support the AudioCopy and AudioPaste standards.

CLEAR-

deletes the current record buffer.

Note: Specifications subject to change.
