+      Virtual ANS is a software simulator of the unique Russian synthesizer ANS
+      - photoelectronic musical instrument created by Evgeny Murzin from 1938 to
+      1958. The ANS made it possible to draw music in the form of a spectrogram
+      (sonogram), without live instruments and performers. It was used by
+      Stanislav Kreichi, Alfred Schnittke, Edward Artemiev and other Soviet
+      composers in their experimental works. You can also hear the sound of the
+      ANS in Andrei Tarkovsky's movies Solaris, The Mirror, Stalker.
+
+      The simulator extends the capabilities of the original instrument. Now
+      it's a full-featured graphics editor where you can convert sound into an
+      image, load and play pictures, draw microtonal/spectral music and create
+      some unusual deep atmospheric sounds. This app is for everyone who loves
+      experiments and is looking for something new.
+
+      Key features:
+
+      + unlimited number of pure tone generators;
+      + powerful sonogram editor - you can draw the spectrum and play it at the same time;
+      + any sound (from a WAV file or a Microphone/Line-in) can be converted to image (sonogram) and vice versa;
+      + support for MIDI devices;
+      + polyphonic synth mode with MIDI mapping;
+      + supported file formats: WAV, AIFF, PNG, JPEG, GIF;
+      + supported sound systems: ASIO, DirectSound, MME, ALSA, OSS, JACK, Audiobus, IAA.
