An Indian Classical Instrument

Choose a raaga.
Touch anywhere.
It is music.

Vibe is an instrument where the wrong notes don't exist. Pick from two hundred raagas, and every press of the screen belongs to the melody. No lessons. No theory. No reaching for a note you didn't mean.

How Raagas Work

A palette of notes
that always belong together.

A raaga is not a scale, nor a song. It is a small, careful selection of notes — chosen over centuries — that resonate together no matter how you arrange them. — The principle Vibe is built on

Every raaga has a colour, a time of day, a feeling. Bhairavi at dawn. Yaman after sunset. Desh in the monsoon. The notes inside a raaga have been listening to one another for hundreds of years, and they know how to behave.

Vibe gives you two hundred of them. Choose one, and the keyboard rearranges itself so only its notes remain. The rest disappear. What you press becomes what you meant to press.

Before & After

Why every touch lands.

A Regular Keyboard

Twelve notes, and only some of them belong.

Press the wrong key and the room knows. Even players who know the theory have to keep half their attention on which keys to avoid.

With a Raaga Chosen

Only the notes of the raaga remain. The wrong notes are gone.

The empty cells aren't broken — they're simply hidden. Press anywhere on the lit keys, in any order, at any pace, and the result is in tune.

Voices

A roster of voices,
growing.

Bowed Song

Violin

Singing bowed swell, bright and expressive. The voice closest to a human throat — sliding, sighing, never quite straight.

Plucked Shimmer

Santoor

Hammered double-course strings with a sympathetic octave on top. Bright, sparkling, a long shimmering ring after every strike.

Airy Breath

Flute

Pure breathy air with a delayed vibrato. The slow-onset flute voice — fundamental-heavy, gentle, never insistent.

Smoky Reed

Saxophone

Smoky, reedy breath with warm vibrato. Saturated through a soft reed and shaped by two body-formant peaks.

Woody Reed

Clarinet

Hollow, woody, round and mellow. Odd harmonics dominate — the cylindrical-bore tone, all warm air and reedy wood.

Bright Lead

Lead

Blazing wide lead, big and singing. Seven detuned saws, chorus motion and a filter that blooms open under your fingers.

Resonant Squelch

Acid

Screaming resonant squelch, biting and sharp. Detuned saws through a fast, high-Q filter envelope that snaps shut under every note.

Soft Pad

Pad

Lush breathing pad, soft and warm. A pair of detuned saws woven into a slow PWM cloud — the bed every other voice rests on.

Struck Metal

Gamelan

Struck bright metal, long shimmering ring. Strictly-harmonic partials with a detuned-pair beating — bright and bell-like, never clanging.

Massed Choir

Choir

Luminous choir swell, wide and human. A six-voice saw ensemble shaped by oo→ah vowel formants — one key blooms into a chord-of-one.

New voices
arriving often.

Sarod, bansuri, dilruba, santoor and others are queued up. The roster grows as each voice is modelled and tuned — an instrument that gets richer the longer you own it.

One key — Caps Lock — turns the entire display into a two-axis controller. Your cursor's horizontal travel sweeps one effect, the vertical another, both at once. Let go, and every value glides back to exactly where you left it. Thirteen effects, mappable to either axis.

On every key, the hand still shapes the note

Five gestures the classical player relies on.

The XY pad is the macro gesture — the whole hand, the whole screen. These are the micro: every one shaped by where your finger sits inside a single key, never a separate control to reach for.

01

Slide

Glide from one swara in the rāga to the next, the way a singer would. In Mono the voice itself slides — a true meend.
02

Vibrato

Wiggle your finger inside the key — the speed of motion sets the depth of the tremor. The note pulses around its pitch, never off it.
03

Open

Slide upward inside a key for louder and brighter; downward for softer and rounder. The whole top of the key is the strongest, most singing place.
04

Place

Slide left or right inside the key to pan the note inside the stereo field. The instrument breathes between your ears.
05

Sustain

Hold Shift and the voice locks to Mono — the last held key keeps singing while you pivot to the next, a true unbroken legato.

How You Play

The instrument has manners.

All 232 rāgas

The chakra wheel.

Seventy-two melakartas around a twelve-chakra wheel, every janya branching from its parent. Hover any cell to hear the scale ring out; search by name and watch the wheel light up where it lives.

Press Tab

Play with your cursor.

One tap of Tab and the cursor becomes a live point. Every key it sweeps over sings; every key it leaves silences. Move slowly to ornament a phrase, fast for a flourish — like a theremin that already knows the rāga.

Set your Sa

Carnatic and Western.

Twelve shruti pills, each labelled both ways — 1 kattai = C, 1.5 = C♯, all the way through. Pick the pitch your voice (or your singer's voice) is in, and every rāga re-tunes to meet you there.

Caps Lock = Mono

One voice, sliding.

Tap Caps Lock — the LED comes on, the keyboard becomes Mono. Each new key glides the same voice into the new pitch (a true meend on the bowed and plucked voicings). Caps Lock off and you're polyphonic again.

Rhythm

Any meter, any tala —
kept in time.

Western Classical

Time Signatures.

4/4 for the steady pulse. 3/4 for the lilt of a waltz. 6/8 for the rolling triplet feel. Set the meter your piece asks for, and the percussion kit underneath follows the count — every cycle, every measure, on the beat.

Carnatic

Talas.

Adi for the everyday eight. Rupakam for the gentle seven. Misra Chapu for the syncopated cycle. Khanda Chapu for the five. The mridangam keeps the cycle on its terms; you keep the melody on yours.
