Looks very fun :-) Does anyone notice issues with the sound quality? In many of the examples I hear clicking: sometimes as if the attack is too high, or as if there is some kind of aliasing or sample rate issue, or just clipping. Probably noticeable with headphones. For instance in the announcement video at 3:11 or in the "J.S. Bach, Prelude in C Major (BWV 846)" video between 4.4s and 7.2s. It's somewhat visible if I load that audio in Audacity and turn on the spectrogram view with these settings: Logarithmic, 200 to 6000 Hz. Algorithm: Reassignment, 1024, Blackman-Harris, 1. Colors: 50, 40, 50.

What's odd is that I hear the glitches in in Firefox and in the file downloaded with yt-dlp, but not in Chromium. Is Google serving me bad audio on purpose?

Correction: some videos also do have glitchs on Chromium.

Screen-recording Anukari has been a bit of a challenge, as OBS works best while using GPU encoding, and also seems to do things that the GPU doesn't like in general (and Anukari uses the GPU). I suspect what you're hearing in the videos has to do with that. But also I'm sure that the model for the mic compression could be improved, and I'm not sure about the default attack time, etc.

If screen recording is actually the thing causing the issue you might try CPU encoding with one of the fast lossless codecs and doing the "real" encoding in a second pass later. As a bonus, software encoding should also give a higher quality result. That does require an SSD and quite a bit of free space though.

Have you tried HDMI output from the computer running Anukari to an HDMI capture dongle on a second system, so that all of the recording overhead is offloaded?

I'm very rusty at music, but I always had a big soft spot for unusual/unique synthesis methods. I'll be buying a copy as soon as I'm back at a desktop system :).
