About ANILOG
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.

Highly underrated
This is a great sounding synth for a low price. Too bad it’s not available on Mac OS.
Nitpick Pete
Beautiful colors...meh sounds. (edited)
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.
