Use Anukari's 3D physics playground to create instruments you've only been able to imagine until now. Create a 3D instrument made from masses and springs, and then use your MIDI keyboard to trigger mallets, plectrums, bows, and traditional oscillators. Hook up virtual microphones to pick up the sound the 3D instrument makes. You can keep it simple, or build sprawling systems of hundreds of masses.

Anukari can accept audio input signals, either as a sidechain input alongside MIDI or as the primary input. Create 3D audio signal inputs and connect them to the parts of the physics system you want to vibrate, and then pick up the resulting sounds with virtual microphones. Throw in a couple dozen delay lines for reverb or feedback effects. And heck, why not use some LFOs to modulate the spring stiffness? Whatever you can dream up, you can build.

Works with both "legacy" MIDI and Midi Polyphonic Expression (MPE), so you can use a regular MIDI keyboard or your Linnstrument, Roli Seaboard, Haken Continuum, or other favorite MPE controller with Anukari. All MPE inputs can be custom-mapped to modulate arbitrary physics parameters, or left alone with their satisfying defaults so you can just play.

In addition to the basic physics objects, there are a ton of options for modulation. Powerful sample-accurate LFOs which can operate all the way up to audio frequency for FM. MIDI-triggered envelopes. Envelope followers. And of course, every MIDI control source, as well as DAW automation parameters. The modulation matrix is simple to understand: it's displayed via physical connections in the 3D world. And nearly every parameter can be modulated.

Anukari processes audio on your graphics card (GPU), so massive compute power is available to you, leaving your CPU power available for other plugins. Want to hear what 500 detuned oscillators on a single voice sounds like? Go ahead. Need a couple hundred LFOs for some crazy experimental glitch instrument? No problem. Create hundreds of plectrums. Because you can. What other reason could you possibly need?

You can run Anukari in your favorite DAW as a VST or AU plugin, or run it in standalone mode to play it as a MIDI instrument without the complexity of a DAW. Anukari only uses a fraction of your GPU's resources, so you can easily run several instances of the VST plugin in your DAW, perhaps using it both as a synthesizer and as a reverb plugin. The possibilities are endless.

Anukari isn't just another stylized faceplate covered in knobs. You create the instrument's physics layout in an intuitive 3D editor (kind of like a video game), and then see how it vibrates, flexes, spins, and moves in real-time as you play it. Drag and release a mass with the mouse to hear what it does! Or project the 3D visuals during a show so the audience can see the 3D instrument that they're listening to while you play it.

Run external audio sources through any shape of spring system you can think of. Tune the parameters to get dark industrial caverns or crashing plates. Modulate the physics parameters with an LFO to get swirling reverb, and add delay lines for slapback or feedback effects. Or push up the gain until the 3D system is bent way out of shape and distorts in unexpected ways.

With a full 3D physics simulation, you can build some pretty weird stuff. Try a loose chain of masses tied down only at one end, struck by three mallets in different directions, and watch it spin wildly out of control. Push the physics past their limits and see how things explode. Create a loose tangled mass of springs and excite it with white noise. What will happen? Who knows. Find out!
