We covered the Anukari: 3D Physics Synthesizer on Sonictalk over 100 episodes ago (See below). Well, now the software is officially in Beta and you can get 50% off the RRP buy getting it now: for $70 instead of $140. It's described as a radically new MIDI Instrument, with full MPE support and a powerful effects processor. Here are more details:
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. See and hear what you've built in real time.
n 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 simple to understand: it's displayed via physical connections in the 3D world. And nearly every parameter can be modulated.
Anukari processes audio on your graphics card (GPU), so massive compute power is available to you, leaving your CPU power available for other plugins. Want to hear what 500 detuned oscillators on a single voice sounds like? Go ahead. Need a couple hundred LFOs for some crazy experimental glitch instrument? No problem. Create hundreds of plectrums. Because you can. What other reason could you possibly need?
