Moog Music has released Animoog Galaxy, which they describe as futuristic software instrument designed exclusively for Apple Vision Pro. Here's the details in their own words...

The creative minds at Moog have been a part of many firsts in the space where art and technology intersect. From the brand's beginnings in popularizing the very notion of electronic music to its innovation in developing platform-specific products like the first professional synthesizer designed for iPad, Moog Music brings another revolutionary instrument to musicians and technophiles with its latest release: Animoog Galaxy.

Animoog Galaxy is an exciting new music production app designed exclusively for Vision Pro, Apple's highly anticipated entry into the world of spatial computing. Powered by Moog's Anisotropic Synth Engine (ASE), this multi-sensory creative tool introduces users to an immersive experience unlike any other.

Animoog Galaxy embodies the immediate and intuitive experience of playing a Moog instrument and applies it to spatial computing, enabling the user to quickly sculpt incredibly fluid sounds that live, breathe, and evolve in all dimensions.

Combining generative visuals and audio alongside your existing surroundings, Animoog Galaxy is the world's first shared-space sound machine with a full-featured synthesis engine. All of the synthesizer's controls are easily accessible in the app's immersive view, conveniently offering full sound design capabilities for any recording or practice session. With over 120 professionally designed presets, a change of atmosphere is always just a finger tap away.
