Animoog Z includes full support for AUv3, which allows it to be used as a plugin within applications that support AUv3.
All parameters for each Animoog Z instance are saved within the host project, so it is not necessary to create a preset for the sound of each plugin instance.
Animoog Z also provides the "Animoog Z Effect" plugin that can be used to record and process sound from other sources.
When using Animoog Z as an effect plugin on a channel, the audio from other synthesizers or sound sources can be captured in the TIMBRE EDITOR when using the RECORD feature.
This provides a limitless collection of sounds that can be recorded in perfect quality without having to use an external audio interface.
When using Animoog Z as an effect plugin, the CONFIGURATION > AUDIO settings has an additional PROCESS AUDIO INPUT option.
When turned On (highlighted), the plugin audio will be directed through the EFFECTS of Animoog Z, turning the synthesizer into an Effect Processor.
AU hosts can run any number of other plugins alongside Animoog Z, which can cause CPU overload. To maximize performance, each AU host features a “buffer size” setting. Higher settings will increase system processing capabilities while also increasing latency. Lower settings will decrease latency while also increasing your CPU load. Running too many plugins at too low a buffer size will overload the processing capabilities of your device. When this happens, an audible crackling will occur and the number of plugins must be reduced or your buffer size increased.
