NAMIRISER
A riser made from your own vocal.
Put NamiRiser on a vocal track and press play. It takes the first moment of a word, turns its reverb around and lets it swell up to land exactly where the word begins.
One Swell knob from tight to huge, eight styles, and a length from a quarter bar to four bars that follows your tempo.
When it sounds right, drag the riser into your DAW as a WAV file.
In development. Coming after NamiSampler.
Nami means wave.
Our mark is seigaiha, the old Japanese pattern of overlapping waves: calm, repeating, always moving forward.
Takunami Audio is a small, independent studio. Every plug-in is designed, built and tested in-house, and we only claim what we have tested ourselves.

Questions
Does NamiSampler move or change my files?
No. It only reads your folders. Favorites and collections are lists inside NamiSampler, and your files stay exactly where they are.
Which DAWs does it work in?
Tested in Logic Pro and FL Studio on Mac. It runs as an Audio Unit (Logic Pro, GarageBand) and as VST3 for other DAWs; we only name a DAW here once we have tested it.
Will there be a free trial?
Yes: the full version, free for 14 days, with no account and no card. It opens at launch, and everyone on the early-access list hears first. NamiSampler then costs $24 one-time ($19 in the first 14 days).
