I built a synthesizer based on 3D physics
I've been working on the Anukari 3D Physics Synthesizer for a little over two years now. It's one of the earliest virtual instruments to rely on the GPU for audio processing, which has been incredibly challenging and fun. In the end, predictably, the GUI for manipulating the 3D system actually ended up being a lot more work than the physics simulation. So far I am only selling it direct on my website, which seems to be working well. I hope to turn it into a sustainable business, and ideally I'd have enough revenue to hire folks to help with it. So far it's been 99% a solo project, with…
In plain words
Anukari 3D Physics Synthesizer is a virtual instrument that uses GPU-based audio processing to generate sound from three-dimensional physics simulations. It is designed for musicians and sound designers who want to create unique synthesized audio through interactive 3D manipulation. The software stands out for its novel approach to sound generation by combining physics modeling with real-time audio processing, developed as a nearly solo project over two years.

In the maker’s words, at launch
I've been working on the Anukari 3D Physics Synthesizer for a little over two years now. It's one of the earliest virtual instruments to rely on the GPU for audio processing, which has been incredibly challenging and fun. In the end, predictably, the GUI for manipulating the 3D system actually ended up being a lot more work than the physics simulation. So far I am only selling it direct on my website, which seems to be working well. I hope to turn it into a sustainable business, and ideally I'd have enough revenue to hire folks to help with it. So far it's been 99% a solo project, with (awesome) contractors brought in for some of the stuff that I'm bad at, like the 3D models and making instrument presets/videos. The official launch announcement video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYX_eeNVIEU But if you REALLY want to see what it can do, check out what Mick Cormick did with in on the first day: https://x.com/Mick_Gordon/status/1918146487948919222 I've kept a fairly detailed developer log about my progress on the project since October 2023, which might be of interest to the hardcore technical folks here: https://anukari.com/blog/devlog I also gave a talk at Audio Developer Conference 2023 (ADC23) that goes deep into a couple of the problems I solved for Anukari: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb8b1SYy73Q
Pricing, as stated on its site
Free tier, paid plans from $99/mo — Anukari offers a free trial version and a paid license at $99 USD (discounted from $149).
