Good synth but with some problems

Animoog is capable of some fat sounds, its keyboard is brilliant, and its easy to experiment in a very intuitive way. I find myself using it a lot for liquid, legato soloing, but you can sequence it for some nice bass sounds as well. Ive used it on two albums now, and thats a testament to its power.

Drawbacks: I bought this on iPhone, and now have to pay full price again for the same app on iPad? Come on. Only company that does this, I think. MIDI as an in-app purchase is also a bit much.

Also, there is a strange metallic sheen to all the sounds on this synth. Record anything and try some EQ spectrum analysis, and you will see a normal gentle roll off in the highs until you get to about 16 K, where theres some strange loud spike from there to 20k. This is true even when playing bass sounds. This can be fixed in post production with a high shelf EQ cut, but it makes me wonder what the developers thought they were doing when they included this. It makes for some very piercing sounds. The Arturia synths or Thor sound much warmer.
