Anukari 3D Physics Synthesizer

Anukari 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. https://linktr.ee/anukari

I started working full time on Anukari in February 2023, and the road from blank code editor to something I’m excited to call 1.0 has been full of surprises, successes, flops, and redemptions… but the most rewarding part about the journey has been the people it has connected me with.

Version 0.9.33 is out, and it has a bunch of arbitrarily-routable audio FX, including reverb. I like the 3D model for the vaporwave reverb so much I decided to create 48 of them to see how it would look, and randomized their parameters to get this weird dreamy thing. :D

Sometimes people see demos of complex Anukari presets and worry that you have to be super technical to use it. That's not the case at all! It's a ton of fun to explore what you can do with even the most simple presets. (Of course if you are in the mood to go ultra deep... that's there too.)

I had the immense luck of having my booth at NAMM this year next-door to the Modern Biology booth for the Pocket Scion. We found chances to chat and also to check out each other's products. Tarun is just the nicest guy you could hope to meet, and I the Pocket Scion is really fun. :)

I've been pretty quiet for a few weeks... it's not because I have nothing to share, but because I've been so deep in the cooking I haven't had time. Here's a little window into the soup (pardon the temporary lack of new 3d assets for the new object types).
