Can anyone identify the flying saucer at the right in this photo? Is it a real thing?

The photo is part of Moog's ad for their new Animusic Galaxy, a VisionOS app. Which is very interesting, if a bit silly. https://www.moogmusic.com/news/introducing-animoog-galaxy

artdotdmg,

@kbob @synths definitely a Moog Theremini. Has the same synth engine as the Animoog mobile app. I played the solo for this song on mine https://artdotdmg.bandcamp.com/album/npc?t=6

@kbob @synths
That's their Theremin. Yes it's real. I've had one for some years now so maybe not still in production?

@grantpetersen @kbob @synths Very specifically and relevant to the VR angle, it's their software modeled theremin that uses Animoog (which you can get on iOS) as its core.

@grantpetersen @synths It looks like it's a current product. It's in stock at Sweetwater, and there are about 30 for sale on Reverb. I'm just out of the loop (pun).

Thanks.

AlgoCompSynth,

@grantpetersen @kbob @synths A Theremini - they male other theremins.

@synths Animoog Galaxy uses the same engine as Animoog Z, they say. Does anyone here have experience with the Animoogs? What kinds of sounds are they best at?

Thanks.

artdotdmg,

@kbob @synths Animoog Z sounds a lot like a hardware Moog (to me at least). It’s the only Moog I can afford that’s polyphonic and I’ve used it in several recordings but I like the physical interface 🎛️🎚️of their hardware so that’s what I tend to use most.

@artdotdmg @synths Thanks. So the VisionOS version takes away the part you like most -- no physical interface at all. 😅

artdotdmg,

@kbob @synths yes! I think the future of “spatial computing” is intriguing especially as someone with a disability limiting dexterity & strength. Just repatching my modular is getting difficult. The hot takes on Vision Pro remind me of similar responses when Mac & iPhones were released. Of course it’s expensive & bourgie! It will take time for designers & developers to find the natural vernacular of the medium, but if successful will be more affordable & perhaps more accessible.
