Everything you need to write about ANTINODE and our products. Updated June 2026.
Antinode, LLC is an independent music software company building software synthesizers that the industry hasn't built yet. Founded in 2026, the company focuses on instruments that go beyond standard subtractive architecture — additive synthesis, vector morphing, AI-generated sounds, and phase-motion DSP.
The company's products include Spektra-5000, the first software recreation of the Kawai K5000 advanced additive synthesizer. Three additional products are in development: TeeJee (a TG33 vector synth, September 2026), Triple Helix (the first synth with AI oscillators), and STRATA (a phase-motion synthesizer with two novel DSP primitives).
All ANTINODE instruments ship as VST3, CLAP, and Standalone on Windows, run offline, and are sold as perpetual licenses with no subscriptions. The company is headquartered in the United States. Website: antinode.studio
Short version (50 words): ANTINODE builds software synthesizers that sound like nothing else — additive, vector, AI-generated, and phase-motion engines the industry skipped. No subscriptions, no cloud requirements. VST3/CLAP/Standalone. Windows. First product: Spektra-5000, the Kawai K5000 reborn.
The first software recreation of the Kawai K5000 advanced additive synthesizer.

Screenshots will be available at launch. Each product will have 4–6 high-resolution screenshots (2560×1600 PNG) showing the interface, key features, and preset browsing.
Audio demos (WAV/MP3) will also be available at launch. Contact us for review licenses.
[Founder name] is a sound designer, developer, and the founder of Antinode, LLC. With a background in [background details], they built their first software synthesizer after years of being frustrated that the most interesting synthesis architectures — additive, vector, AI-generated — had been abandoned by the industry in favor of yet another subtractive analog emulation.
ANTINODE is a one-person company: every line of DSP, every preset, every pixel of the interface is hand-built. [Replace with your actual bio before launch.]
