ANILOG is bursting onto the scene with a totally new approach to making synthesized instruments---this isn't your typical analog synth. Designed by musicians and battle-tested in live performance, ANILOG is a mobile powerhouse! It's great for vintage video game, chiptune, and synth pop music. Perform live music sets with pattern looping and cueing. Load ANILOG in your favorite DAW as an Audio Unit plugin! (ANILOG supports most AUv3 hosts.) For each instance of ANILOG you can choose single instruments in Instrument Mode, or set to Sequencer Mode to play more complex backing tracks. ANILOG is also fully Audiobus and Inter-App Audio compatible. Combine 3 oscillators and a noise envelope to produce bright 80s-style synths, rich deep bass, punchy kicks and snares, a variety of screaming leads, and even breathy woodwinds! It's loaded with 168 hand-crafted presets that respond to touch velocity on the on-screen keyboard or an attached MIDI keyboard. The built-in multi-track sequencer lets you play up to 32 voices simultaneously with per-track reverb and volume send levels. Each song contains its own instrument patch library so you can create the perfect sound. Compose and share songs wherever you are. Speed up your editing by attaching a hardware keyboard. Also supports cool effects like a built-in echo tank and sidechain ducking. This is the ultimate analog workstation that fits in your pocket or on the stage. * Audio Units version 3 (AUv3) compatible * Up to 32 voices * 168 factory preset programs, 168 extra user program storage * 3 oscillators and 1 noise generator per voice * Velocity-sensitive envelopes and properties * 16-track sequencer with import and export * Looping, next-pattern selection, and track mute toggle buttons for live performance * Built-in echo tank, sidechain effect, randomized detuning for warmth * Export/import instrument settings to JSON to share with your friends * Designed for the iPhone, and scales up to an iPad (even in windowed mode) * On-screen note keyboard that can be hidden * Plug in MIDI keyboard * Rad "dark" look that makes it easy to see on stage * Attach a hardware keyboard for enhanced editing shortcuts, use window mode on iPad * Audiobus compatible, IAA compatible ## Key features - Morphing analog synthesizer engine - Multi-track sequencer with 32 voices - Live performance pattern looping - Audio Unit (AUv3) plugin support - 168 hand-crafted presets - Built-in echo tank and sidechain effects - MIDI keyboard support ## Recent user reviews (10 of 10) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/anilog/id1466584323/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Highly underrated *2025-12-20* This is a great sounding synth for a low price. Too bad it’s not available on Mac OS. ### 5/5 — Highly underrated *2025-12-14* This is a great sounding synth for a low price. ### 3/5 — Beautiful colors...meh sounds. (edited) *2024-02-26* Absolutely love the look. Interface is a bit finicky where keys sliders and buttons don’t trigger with smooth reliability. Sounds are kind of rinky-dink...rather toy like. NOT analog sounding AT ALL. Bleh. Sorry that I bought it at full price. I just don’t see this app contributing to my music. There’re several other apps I would have rather purchased for the cost of this one. Bummed. edit: After spending a little more time with it, some of the presets make some interesting noises, but the overall sound is FAR from anything “analog”. I mean, Come on..there’s no filter! The developer should have done some more brainstorming for the name; perhaps even some crowd sourcing. The sounds this app makes reminds me of the mid-1980’s consumer-grade Yamaha and Casio keyboards, actually sounding more similar to the phase distortion semi-pro synths that Casio experimented with in the late 1980’s. The app’s playability seems vastly improved on the keys with the latest update. The sliders also respond better but still very difficult setting them to an exact number. Taking into account for what it is and not what it is is called, I’ll bump it from two stars to three. Still a rather expensive app for the still rinky-dink tones in my view. I actually LIKE the bit crusher but it REALLY screams the need for three or four LFO’s to modulate the bit crusher and wave shapers. If that could happen this might actually see some use in my studio work and would certainly get four or even five stars from me. There is niche use for what this synth does and the developer should certainly tout the app as such. It is rather unique and original, which I usually seek out in a syntn-app. Please stop eluding to analog in the description and for Pete's sake, change the name to reflect this unusual type of synthesis you have developed. ### 5/5 — Good music app but the manual needs more work *2022-02-03* Hi, I like your music app. Can you create an instructional video on how to create a song using your app? Drums/bass line/chords/melody. Thanks. ### 3/5 — Beautiful colors...meh sounds. (edited) *2021-05-29, version 1.0.66* Absolutely love the look.

Both top and left sides are cropped so I can’t do much. Please make it compatible with newer iPads and I’ll happily give it full 5 as it looks really great and sound awesome. Thank you! **Developer response:** Hello Capcorn1! Yes! Apologies that it took so long to find the weird bug that caused this. What we thought was a quirk turned out to be a pretty permanent "feature". Please update! ### 5/5 — Fun 80s Synth in your pocket! *2019-08-15* I’ve followed this synth through its development and am impressed with how it’s turned out! There are a bunch of demo songs mimicking classic 80s songs that show off what you can do with the preset patches. Beyond that it’s up to how many 80s synth tracks you want to make! ### 5/5 — Nice *2019-08-10* I like strange sounds, but not the ones that sound terrible and ugly. This guy puts out strange but wonderful noise, or sounds or whatever you want to call it. Very good app to add to an arsenal of sound making equipment. ### 5/5 — Comprehensive, intuitive, and fun! *2019-08-03* A great synthesizer! ### 5/5 — West Coast Synth *2019-08-02* It is cool to have a synthesizer built with a unique engine, mainly additive. I guess this is the West Coast influence. Lot of exploration to make, a cool app with a disco look. ## Frequently asked questions about ANILOG ### What makes ANILOG different from other analog synthesizers?
