Yesterday, later in the evening, Alessandro from apeSoft introduced the new mood Synthesizer. This is not a classic reproduction of the Moog Minimoog, but a further study of this synth arcitecture. In easy, both developer try to develop a reinterpretation of the classic analog synthesizer from the seventies but including some modern sound and utility features. The result is a mood, a synth with a classic subtractive with 3 virtual analog oscillators, a sampler, an FM operator module and much more.
At the second page, mood also includes a very deep XLFO that can used as LFO but also as arpeggiator/sequencer. Than, it includes five excellent sounding effects for giving even better sound design options. On top, they broke the thinkings of a mono synth and transform mood in a polyphonic synth with up to 16 voices.
On the connection side, it includes: AudioBus, Inter-App-Audio, iOS AudioUnit and Ableton Link support. With a great midi implementation, musicians can also map all parameters to an external midi controller.
