Animoog 2.2.2 Released

Isn’t that nice? After a long break of over a year without any news, we now get Animoog updates regularly! Hope the trend will keep up! Version 2.2.1 came only about three weeks ago. And the iPhone version a few days ago.

For the Animoog update released earlier today, version 2.2.2, the official release notes are:

Bug Fixes:

  • File not Found message and app stuck when AudioCopy from 4 Track
  • Animoog Midi In appears as an option for Midi Out
  • MIDI IN state always appears as OFF
  • Canceling Restore Purchases, app will ignore Cancel user’s request
  • Choosing Delete causes crash, when no saved project on the list
  • Saving project while in record mode, app crashes
  • Choosing AudioPaste option while in record mode, cause crash

Unsurprisingly, Animoog users  over the official Moog forums have apparently found features not working as expected. Hopefully, these issues will be addressed in a future version. I’m happy, Animoog gets developer love, which means we get a better Animoog with every update :-)

Animoog for iPhone 1.1.5 Released

Moog released yesterday an update to Animoog for iPhone, now at version 1.1.5. As far as I can tell, it’s essentially a bug fix, with the official release notes being:

  • Audiobus support
  • Splash screen now properly displayed

This update comes less than 3 weeks after the 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 updates. While users on the official Moog forum indicates not all known bugs have been fixed, color me happy to see frequent updates to our beloved Animoog app.

Animoog 2.2.1 and Animoog for iPhone 1.1.3 Released

There we go! Today were released both Animoog 2.2.1, the iPad version, and Animoog for iPhone 1.1.3. These welcomed releases bring iOS 8 compatibility and Audiobus + Inter App Audio support. Here are the official release notes.

For Animoog 2.2.1:

  • Audiobus 2 Support
  • Inter App Audio
  • AudioCopy 2 Support
  • iOS 8 Compatible

For Animoog for iPhone 1.1.3:

  • iOS8 Support

That’s not entirely true for the iPhone version… the release 1.1.3 also bring fixes that make all the new shiny features of version 1.1.2 actually work fine. There’s also a few minor interface changes and improvements that you’ll discover while playing with the new versions. One of those is the new previous/next buttons in the presets list, another one is the new Timbres browser. There’s also a new look for the expansions list in the Store tab. Have you found anything else new or changed?

After updating to the latest Animoog version, lots of my presets were not playing fine: several timbres were missing. The solution for me was to restore purchases from the ‘Store’ tab. I still have issues with some presets, but I suspect they are all presets I manually installed and which may require new direct manipulation to make them work (see the section at the bottom of this page regarding manually installing expansion packs).

While these updates ‘only’ bring current iOS and Audiobus + IAA support, and the improvements wish list includes plenty of other exciting features, this is still great that Moog is back at actively working on Animoog development. Rejoice! We have new versions of Animoog! :-)

Warning: iOS 8 and Animoog 2.1.1 Incompatibility

Dear Animoog users, here’s an important warning for those who want to keep playing with Animoog while we wait for the upcoming update which should show up in the coming days or weeks.

According to reports on the official Animoog forum, the current version of Animoog, version 2.2.1, is incompatible and can’t be launched under iOS 8, which was released today.

If you want to keep playing Animoog, stick with iOS 7 until further news!

Animoog for iPhone 1.1.2 Released

This is major news, mainly because it confirms that Moog has not abandoned Animoog. Animoog for iPhone’s previous update showed up 2012. Here’s what’s new in version 1.1.2 of Animoog for iPhone, officially released on August 29th, 2014:

  • Full iOS 7 compatibility
  • Support for iPhone 5 and all prior screen sizes
  • Inter-App Audio Support
  • Audiobus 2 Support
  • AudioCopy 2 Support

Audiobus and Inter-App Audio (IAA) support are significant new features, meaning Animoog for iPhone can now properly be integrated with other music apps on the iPhone. IAA is Apple’s built-in solution for iOS 7 and later for audio apps to talk together and share (and real-time modification) audio tracks. Both Audiobus and IAA are widely supported by other iOS audio apps.

What’s also great is that Moog itself provided feedback in their forum, acknowledging some issues with the just released new features and pointing to another upcoming update that should soon see the light. Moog cares, and that matters.

An update for Animoog for the iPad has not hit the App Store yet, but now we can expect it any day or week. Let’s rejoice! And yes, I’ll have to update the wish list for Animoog accordingly.
