Anima
A physical-modeling wind synthesizer for iPad. Anima makes sound the way flutes, clarinets, and pipe organs do — air resonating in a pipe, no oscillators. Microtonal to the core, and built to be played by Hexatone.
What it is
No oscillators
A breath-like exciter feeds a tuned pipe that resonates and self-oscillates — the same physics as a reed or a lip on a mouthpiece. Sound is shaped, not synthesised from waveforms.
Microtonal to the core
A resonating pipe is naturally continuous-pitch, so every tuning is in tune — any EDO, an imported Scala scale, Bohlen-Pierce. No oscillator quantises your notes.
Built to play with Hexatone
Anima is the voice Hexatone's isomorphic keyboard was missing. Hexatone sends per-note microtonal pitch over MPE; Anima renders it in tune, expressively, in any tuning.
Standalone & AUv3
A focused standalone instrument and an AUv3 plugin for AUM, Logic, GarageBand, Cubasis, Loopy Pro, and Drambo — the same engine either way.
A sound of its own
Breathy flutes, reeds, and pipe organs; struck bells and brass; and tones no acoustic instrument could ever make — all from one resonating pipe.
In short
A companion instrument, in the same family
Anima shares Hexatone's soft, glassy pastel look and its microtonal heart, but stands on its own — a beautiful, deep physical-modeling synth that earns its place next to any iPad studio. One price, no in-app purchases, no subscription.
