Anukari 3D Physics Synthesizer

The Anukari 3D Physics Synthesizer is a software synthesizer and effects processor based on a fully interactive 3D physics simulation. Drag and drop physics components like masses and springs to design your own 3D instrument or effect. See and hear what you've built in real time.

The Anukari 3D Physics Synthesizer is available on MacOS and Windows. It is packaged as a standalone application along with two DAW plugins: an instrument plugin and an effect plugin. The plugins are available in the VST3, AAX, and AU formats. The full system requirements are available on the web site. Users who purchase Anukari during the Beta period receive a full license to the software, including version 1 when it is available.

Anukari’s 3D physics simulation operates using similar principles to a physics engine for a video game, except that instead of running at video frame rate (e.g. 60 Hz), it runs the simulation at audio sample rate (e.g. 48,000 Hz). Hundreds of point masses in the 3D world can be connected to one another with springs, and a variety of other components can be connected to the masses to introduce vibration (mallets, bows, plectrums, etc) or to modulate their parameters (LFOs, envelopes, etc). Virtual 3D microphones are used to pick up the simulated vibrations and turn them into sounds.

Anukari provides polyphony by running up to 16 independent copies of the physics world in parallel. When a MIDI note is pressed, one of the physics worlds is selected, and Anukari applies “time dilation” to the world, speeding or slowing time to produce the correct pitch based on the MIDI note. Midi Polyphonic Expression (MPE) is fully supported, with the pitch axis mapping smoothly to each world’s time dilation factor to provide real-time pitch bending.

The physics world is displayed via fully customizable 3D graphics. Users can select from 10 built-in skyboxes and 8 skins for the physics objects, and users with 3D modeling experience can create completely new skyboxes and skins using free 3D tools like Blender. Everything can be changed, including animations.

Anukari comes with 200+ instrument and effect presets, as well as 100+ shape templates to help with the construction of new user presets. The free demo version allows all features to be used, the only restriction being that the sound output will be periodically replaced by white noise for a few seconds.

MSRP for Anukari will be $140, but for a limited time, the Beta version will be offered with a 50% discount, for a price of $70. The free demo and shop are available at https://anukari.com.
