An affordable hybrid monophonic synthesizer that allows you to create new sound universes inspired from the real world, where objects collide, vibrate, and resonate.

Anyma Phi blends the classic ingredients of electronic music with physical modelling technology, allowing it to simulate acoustic sound sources, such as strings or reeds, as well as resonating structures, like wood, glass, or metal.

Whether you play live or record in the studio, design sounds or play presets, Anyma Phi will become an indispensable tool. It can even be used as a stand-alone effects processor, or as part of a guitar effects pedal setup. 

The heart of the Anyma Phi is the matrix, which provides a quick and easy way to explore your sounds by following a physical metaphor, with four macros for each of the five stages of sound generation:

With its matrix, Anyma Phi offers a straightforward way to tweak, explore, and create sound universes. It also provides easy ways to make your sound react to your MIDI controllers with mapping shortcuts. But don’t be fooled by the simplicity!

If you want to dive deeper, you can take control of the powerful semi-modular synth engine beyond the matrix, with oscillators covering a wide range of synthesis techniques, effects, and modulators.

By connecting those together, you can create any kind of sound, and control it any way you want.

Anyma Phi offers you:

This amounts to 69 different module types available, including 30 sources, 22 effects, and 17 modulators. A more detailed list of modules is available here.

Where it all started… With her kind permission, many of the available sound sources were inspired by Emilie Gillet’s fantastic work on Mutable Instruments modules. Huge thanks!

Thanks to all the support from our Kickstarter backers, Anyma Phi now includes the following features:

The percussive playing surface will allow you to tap and scratch your sounds directly on the case, making your performance even more expressive and fun!

Here is a quick demo of what is going to be integrated into Anyma Phi’s case.

Check out the Piezo Percs demo on Soundcloud for another example!

You can edit patches directly on your Anyma, as well as send and receive patches via MIDI SysEx. But what about something more comfortable and powerful?

This software will allow you to easily manage and share patches, as well as edit them in depth in a streamlined environment on your PC or Mac, by making all the synth components directly visible and showing their interactions.

Our current prototype of the Anyma Phi has room for 63 patches, which is nice, but having more is always better!

With more memory, you can have a huge library of sounds at your fingertips, or you can make many variations of your patches without having to worry about space or having the computer editor around to make backups!

We will extend the memory of the Anyma Phi to reach up to hundreds of patches (the actual amount is still to be determined).

• Hybrid monophonic synthesizer

Hello, we are Aodyo Instruments!

We’re a team of 7 people based in Lille, in the north of France, and we are all committed to bringing to musicians new possibilities to give life to their sounds.

Five years ago, we created an electronic wind instrument inspired by acoustic woodwinds, the Sylphyo, which offers new and exciting ways to play synth sounds.

For our next project, we decided it was time for synths too to take a hint from the real world, and we’re very excited to announce Anyma Phi, an affordable way to add original, reactive acoustically-inspired sounds to the toolbox of every musician.

Please join us on our social media and our forum to spread the news and discuss with others! 

We are so happy that you are joining us in making this possible.

Thank you so much for your help and support! 

Musically,

Aodyo Instruments Team,

Laurent, Ludovic, Jonathan, Romain, Matthias, Maria, and Maxence
