A powerful hybrid physical modeling virtual instrument, Anyma V opens the gateway to a vast universe of sounds inspired by the physical world. By simulating how objects collide, vibrate, and resonate, this synthesizer lets you create complex, realistic textures that blend the traditional elements of electronic music with advanced physical modeling techniques. Whether you're producing cinematic soundscapes, experimental music, or simply exploring new sonic territories, Anyma V offers a unique approach to sound design.

Cross-Platform Flexibility

Anyma V is designed for maximum compatibility, working seamlessly across different operating systems:

  • Windows: Standalone / VST3
  • macOS: Standalone / Audio Unit / VST3
  • Linux: Standalone / VST3

A Hybrid Polyphonic Synthesizer

The Best of Both Worlds

At its core, Anyma V merges the conventional tools of electronic music, such as oscillators and filters, with sophisticated physical modeling technology. This hybrid approach allows the synthesizer to emulate both electronic and acoustic sound sources, ranging from strings and reeds to resonating structures like wood, glass, or metal. Moreover, it can introduce physical behaviors, such as bouncing balls or springs, into modulation processes, adding a layer of organic unpredictability to your sounds.

Virtual Counterpart to Anyma Phi

Anyma V serves as the virtual equivalent of the Anyma Phi hardware synthesizer, inheriting the same powerful sound engine and patch format. This shared architecture allows for seamless patch creation and transfer between the virtual and hardware versions. Unlike the monophonic Anyma Phi, however, Anyma V is polyphonic and offers the capability to run unlimited instances within your DAW, providing even greater creative potential.

Accessible Sound Design

An Intuitive Matrix for Sound Exploration

The sound design process in Anyma V is centered around a user-friendly matrix that organizes sound generation into four distinct stages: Excite, Vibrate, Resonate, and Global. This matrix follows a physical metaphor, making it easy to conceptualize and manipulate the different elements of your sound. Additionally, the Morph function allows you to smoothly transition between two different versions of the matrix, enabling dynamic sound evolution within a single patch.

A Semi-Modular Synthesis Engine

Beyond the matrix, Anyma V features a robust semi-modular synthesis engine that offers an impressive array of tools for creating and sculpting sounds. With 54 oscillator modules, 36 effect modules, and 47 modulator modules, the possibilities for sound design are virtually limitless. This extensive range of options is made accessible through an intuitive interface that keeps everything within reach on a single screen, allowing for a streamlined workflow without sacrificing depth.

Comprehensive MIDI and MPE Support

Versatile MIDI Integration

Anyma V is fully compatible with a wide range of MIDI controllers, including keyboards, sequencers, and wind controllers like the Sylphyo. It also supports MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) controllers and DAWs, giving you unparalleled control over your sound. Users can easily configure mappings, switch between mono and poly modes, and synchronize tempo with both internal and external sources, ensuring that Anyma V fits seamlessly into any production environment.

Advanced Tuning and Microtonality

Exploring Beyond Semitones

One of Anyma V's standout features is its advanced tuning capabilities. The synthesizer allows you to tune to any reference frequency or adopt alternative tuning systems, such as just intonation, historical temperaments, or the scales used in non-Western and modern microtonal music. In addition to the 30+ preset tunings included, Anyma V supports the import of Scala and MTS SysEx files, giving you the freedom to experiment with an endless variety of tonalities and scales.

With its blend of physical modeling, semi-modular synthesis, and advanced tuning options, Anyma V is a powerful tool for musicians and sound designers seeking to push the boundaries of what’s possible in electronic music production.
