Anyma Phi

( I think the forum restricts PMs from early members. )

It sounds like this will work with Wine. MinGW most likely has been tested to generate stuff that will run under Wine. And if there are any problems they are likely known problems with easy work arounds, maybe even as easy as changing a compiler switch or something.

Hope this works for you trytykee. Linux is great, but sadly kind of at the margin. I hope this works for you, and that you can enjoy the Anyma Phi too.

@join, thanks, I’m gonna write you.
@Jukka, I’m not sure yet, if I really want to use the computer for a deep sound design process, but the Anyma Phi sounds really great. I’m gonna think about it.

In a pinch you can edit on the AP itself.
( I assume that applies with the newest release too. )

It’s not always the easiest thing with the smaller screen, but impressive that that option is there at all ! It works well for smaller modifications. Most smaller systems don’t have on device editing.

A new beta (v1.0b256) is out with a Linux version of the editor.
We will continue to provide a Linux package in further updates if it’s working well, however we won’t officially support Linux and won’t be able to help with any technical issues on the Linux version.
I only tested it in a virtual machine, as well as qemu, with the latest Lubuntu and Puppy Linux, and it seems to work well except dragging patches out of the editor.
I can also confirm that with some of the new adjustments, the Windows editor is functional with Wine, so that’s another possibility for Linux users.

Absolutely loving the Hammond organ module in the beta :slight_smile: (Sorry, the ‘drawbar organ’ module)

Is it possible to create a resonator effect (like in ableton) for incoming audio? I read in the manual that a resonator is available but I can’t find any demo of it as part of an effect patch for incoming audio.

I don’t know how it compares to ableton, but, as you said, you can use one of the available resonators types as an effect on (say) the aux bus, then route incoming audio to the aux bus.

I think … I will go and check … on the assumption that you don’t have one yet as you’re reading the manual ?

EDIT: Yes that’s the way to do it,

Two resonator effects. Modal, and String.

Sure either or both can be used on input.

There’s actually a third (snare resonator) as of the beta release … but that’s a bit specialised. :wink:

Thank you. I just ordered one. :slight_smile: Hoping to be able to arrange multiple resonator effects next to each other with different (pitch) settings and after that exploring the whole modular on the unit itself.

Edit: but I assume in this use case it’s different to abeltons resonator effect where u can pitch shift the source signal in more than one stage always based on the source material (parallel). On the AP in a setup where multiple resonator effects are chained you would always pitch shift based on the former placed resonator effect setting (serial) I think?

The pitches of the resonators can be set as either fixed or relative to the midi input, then from that point you can adjust pitch by semitones and by fine tune (both of which can be modulated). Does that tell you what you need (because I’m unsure of what you mean by ‘pitch shift’ in the context of audio input) ?

In the case of a chain of resonators where you want the pitch of the second to be relative to the first, you could set things up that way with mappings, it doesn’t happen by default. It’s very modular in that respect, the modules are independent.

serious Plaid vibes from the demo.

agreed and very taken with the Phi - definitely a ‘someday’ machine for me

Loopop just released a very comprehensive review of the Anyma Phi, well worth a look if you want to have an overview of the capabilities and workflow of the machine.

That’s great. I would imagine the first 1:30 of that video will create quite a bit of demand on it’s own :slight_smile:

Nice. I’ve had mine for almost six months and it’s easily my favourite piece of hardware in my studio, next to the Octatrack. They pair really well together.

Watched the loopop video, looks quite interesting, but could not help laughing everytime he said the name - sounded a bit like Nanny McPhee :joy:

Some of the comments on the video are a bit silly … I’ve had to restrain myself. If a company sets out to make a hardware/desktop solution for a physical modelling synth, why would anyone say “you should have made a VST” ?
