Imaginando
audio software company
Imaginando Lda is a Portuguese company founded in 2014 by Nuno Santos that develops software for music production, sound design, and performance as well as audio-reactive visuals. The company's headquarters is located in Braga, Portugal.
History
Imaginando was founded by Nuno Santos in Braga, Portugal (City of Media Arts of UNESCO), who is the company's current CEO and CTO. The company started as a business initiative with no venture funding. As a solo entrepreneur, he looked for a solution for maintaining a single code base for multiple target devices, thus Qt Framework was adopted.
In 2015 he joined forces with his long time friend Rui Antunes, an analog electronics expert and synthesizer repairer, to create Imaginando’s first synthesizer. Rui developed an analog modeled synthesizer in Pure Data, which served as a base for the development of the DRC (Digital Resistor Capacitor) synthesizer.
During DRC development and stemming from a new media art open call from GNRation, they created a project called “Harpa Laser”. The project consisted of a 2-meter-tall (6.6 ft) iron structure that incorporated 8 lasers in parallel and with a DRC engine running on a Raspberry Pi. This new media art installation debuted in the 2015 Noite Branca, in the streets of Braga.
In 2017, Imaginando ventured on another open call by GNRation, this time turning a piece of antique furniture into a gigantic digital music box.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Imaginando” as audio software company. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as audio software company. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q130969258. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014, 2015 and 2017.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
