The new Anukari website, and big updates!
Hello everyone,
It's been a while since I wrote about my progress on Anukari! There's a lot to catch you up on, but in this email I mostly wanted to let you know that Anukari finally has a real website available at https://anukari.com. If you ever saw the previous website, you'll know that it was nothing more than a placeholder. The new website has a lot more information about Anukari.
I also wanted to let you know that the newsletter that you may have signed up for on Substack will now be coming directly from me instead of from Substack. If you previously used Substack to look at old newsletter posts, you can now instead read them here.
I've gotten a HUGE amount of work done on the plugin since I wrote the last update. I will list some of the highlights here, and I hope to go into detail on some of these in future newsletter updates and YouTube demo videos:
- Anukari now works on MacOS (in addition to Windows)
- There's an on-screen tuner available
- Any instrument can be made auto-polyphonic
- Midi Polyphonic Expression (MPE) is fully supported (tested with ROLI Seaboard)
- All MIDI modulation sources are supported
- Envelope followers and generators
- DAW automation lanes supported
- Vastly more usable user interface for Modulator target assignment/adjustment
- MIDI "sense" feature to learn CC# by turning knobs, etc
- Almost all parameters can now be modulated
- Comprehensive testing in place to assure reliability
- Hundreds of bug-fixes
Another thing to stay tuned for is that now that the new website is live, I am getting extremely close to launching an invite-only pre-alpha test, where the first few real users will receive free copies of an early Anukari release to test and provide feedback. I hope to start that within a month or so, and it will certainly be announced in this newsletter.
As always, please stay in touch! It's incredibly valuable to me to hear from anyone who may potentially use Anukari when it's released. Feedback, suggestions, and complaints are all welcome. So feel free to email me directly, or come chat on Discord.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading, and thanks for your support.
Regards,
-Evan
