Hello everyone,

To start off the new year, Anukari will have a booth at NAMM Show 2026! If you're attending NAMM, please stop by our booth and say hello, we'd love to meet you. There will be a couple stations to play with Anukari, and rumor has it that there might be some fun toys to give out. :)

We'll be in booth 9800, right near the entrance to the main hall.

In other news, the latest 0.9.24 Beta release of Anukari (download here) has some changes that I'm really excited about. First, it contains another wave of performance improvements, so it is running better than ever across all machines. In particular, instruments with many mics or modulators now perform substantially better.

Second, the latest release includes a ton of improvements to Anukari's audio quality. The dynamic range for all presets is now much wider, and trigger envelopes now behave much better when being retriggered. The "ringing" sound that some presets made at rest is now completely gone. All presets have been re-leveled so that their volume is consistent when cycling through presets to audition them. Thus in addition to performing better than ever, Anukari also sounds better than ever.

If you haven't updated your Anukari version recently, this is a great time to do so!

Regards,
-Evan

Hey!

Evan here. The latest 0.9.21 Beta release of Anukari (download here) has some huge performance improvements and now runs on Intel Macs.*

It’s now possible to run Anukari much more confidently, especially on less powerful machines, and you’ll be able to play with more complex presets. If you’ve had trouble with audio glitches in the past, it’s definitely worth trying this update. Here's an example of a heavy preset that most folks will be able to run:

In addition to the big performance boost, there are all kinds of new features, such as drag-and-drop macros, parameter randomization, a “cinematic mode” to expand the 3D visuals, and more. Here's a quick intro to the new macros:

Thanks again for your support. I look forward to releasing many more improvements to Anukari as it makes its way toward the 1.0 release.

Regards,
-Evan

* Early feedback on the Intel Mac support has been extremely positive, but it’s still very new, so please email me at [email protected] if you discover any issues!

Hello, everyone!

It's been two months now since the Anukari Beta launched, and a lot has happened!

First: Anukari is an entry in the 2025 MIDI Innovation Awards, and I would really appreciate your vote. You can vote on this page by entering your email and then navigating to the Software Prototypes/Non-Commercial Products category. The prize for winning would be a shared booth for Anukari at the NAMM trade show, which would be a big deal for getting the word out.

There have been several new versions of Anukari since the Beta launched, and we are now on version 0.9.10, which you can get from https://anukari.com/download. Some of the improvements since the original Beta launch include:

• Multichannel audio input/output support, up to 50x50 channels
• Support for ASIO audio devices
• The ability to trigger MIDI notes through the modulation system
• 20 new factory presets
• Two new LFO shapes
• Much better performance on macOS devices
• Numerous crash fixes and other bug fixes

Here's a demo of how to use the new MIDI Note Trigger feature:

Thanks you for all your support! Anukari's sales are making it possible for me to continue developing it, and there is a TON that I want to do to continue making it the most innovative synthesizer.

Regards,
-Evan
