Anima Reviews

This is a very cool, unique plugin. I definitley reach for it when working on my ambient music projects to keep it interesting.

Innovative and inspiring. Easy to understand and capable of creating amazing instruments from the most basic samples.

I'm always going after plugins that don't do everything but do ONE thing very well, in a unique way. This plugin is super interesting. It's a fascinating middle ground between being a sampler and a synthesizer. It doesn't sound like anything else. It can be a little unintuitive how to use it properly and I'm not a huge fan of the UX, but it's the sound that matters right?

A beautiful and inspiring instrument that I bought rather randomly on Christmas Eve after catching Lex’s livestream and liking his vibe. I’m loving it. It’s really easy to use, very musical and creative with modulation and mpe use and has you immersed in evolving sound from the get go. That’s probably my favourite element, the fact that it’s ‘listen led’ sound-design rather than ‘decide-program’ sound-design. It’s a proper instrument as well a capable tool.

It's my go-to for sound design ever since I installed it and started nonstop creating.

Gotta be real and say that when I saw 'made with AI in 5 days' I expected Anima to be mad janky. It's not. It's polished as fuck. Works so well with my Roli Seaboard Rise and the guy legit shipped a feature I requested (transient snapping) via email THE NEXT DAY. This is how software should be made. Cheers!

I've tried granular synths, wavetable stuff, Ableton's Corpus - always felt like fighting the tool when trying to create lively organic synth patches. Anima just works the way my brain expects. Load a sample, play it musically, get something beautiful. No 90-minute YouTube tutorial required (though I did literally enjoy TÂCHES's 90-minute YouTube tutorial).

I have a folder of field recordings I've never used because they just sat there being... recordings. Loaded a sample of frying bacon (don't ask) into Anima, and within 60 seconds I had a playable instrument that sounds like something from a Nils Frahm record. This plugin is magic.

I don't even know what to say but this thing is absolutely WILD. Really great work TÂCHES!
