I had this crazy idea: what if you could build instruments out of simulated physical masses and springs in 3D space, connect them, manipulate them, and just... hear what happens?
Anukari is built entirely on real-time physics simulation. You can build structures that ring, vibrate, interact, and feed back into one another. Excite them with mallets, bows, your own audio, and more. And explore sonic palettes that are wildly out of this world.
What does it sound like? Whatever you want. Sometimes it's subtle, and sometimes not so subtle. Does it create time paradoxes? Will you tear the fabric of space-time? Hard to tell... but Anukari invites you to find out.
If precision tools like Serum answer the question, “How do I get that sound?” Anukari asks, “What happens if I do THIS?”
Built for the intrepid sonic explorer, Anukari’s 3D physics playground dares you to build, break, warp, and discover sounds that you never could have imagined.
Wire together masses and springs, drag in some exciters and mics, then use your MIDI keyboard or your own audio to make noise.
For the more tactile-minded, just grab a mass with your mouse, pull, and let go. Keep it simple and controlled or build sprawling systems of hundreds of objects and catapult yourself into another dimension!
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 built to be simple but powerful. It's displayed via physical connections in the 3D world and nearly every parameter can be modulated.
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. And with full MPE support and Microtuning via MTS-ESP, you're fully equipped for a full sonic expedition. What will happen? No one knows. It's up to you to find out!
As if the sound wasn't enough, Anukari also vibrates, spins, and flexes visually as you play it. And with custom skyboxes, audio-reactive shaders, and the ability to import your own 3D models, you can create your own world to project at live shows, share on social media, or just... live in.
