An instrument built for the sounds in your head, not the limitations of your setup. Four synthesis models, your wavetable library, real multisampled instruments, a clip launcher, a drum machine, and a 19-channel mixer. All running in true stereo. All in a compact 2kg desktop with walnut sides, powdered metal chassis, and VESA mount.

Why the vibes is different
The full spec sheet is detailed below. These are the dimensions where the Vibes goes deeper than most
Steps per Part (Arp, Drums)
3×
1A each
Each of the four parts gives you two main oscillators — switchable between Wavetable, Virtual Analog, and Resonator — plus a dedicated sample-based noise oscillator with SFZ multisample support. All running in true stereo.
Physical modeling-inspired. Plucked strings, blown tubes, struck surfaces. Velocity-sensitive excitation across 64 resonant bands
You’ve spent years building your wavetable library. Every custom table, every commercial pack, every sound you’ve dialed in. The Vibes plays them all, just drag and drop any wavetable in the Serum-compatible format via VibesConnect.
No converting. No reformatting. No compromises.
The noise/sample oscillator loads SFZ multisamples with velocity layers, key splits, and loop modes. It’s not a workaround, it’s a core part of the XVA engine.
A clip launcher built for performance, not just playback. Seven tracks — four synth parts, drum patterns, and two external MIDI tracks for sequencing your outboard gear — with up to 8 clips per track for variations, fills, and full song sections. Trigger and rearrange them live from the 5″ touchscreen, from a USB pad controller (Launchpad Pro MKII or APC Mini MK2), or from the browser via VibesConnect. Record sequences directly into clips with quantization, or import standard MIDI files.
A full 14-instrument drum machine, integrated. Load your own one-shots via VibesConnect — organized into six groups: Kick, Snare, Hat, Cymbal, Tom, and Percussion. Program patterns up to 64 steps in the touchscreen grid editor, classic step-sequencer style. Each instrument gets its own mixer channel with level, pan, and FX sends, plus a dedicated sidechain bus for ducking and rhythmic shaping.
A complete digital mixing console built in. 19 stereo input channels — 4 synth parts, 14 drum instruments, 1 external audio input — each with level, pan, EQ, and send effects. Two FX buses, master and headphone outputs, true stereo throughout. Mix your entire performance inside the Vibes.
The back of the Vibes is built like a hub: three powered USB-A host ports for modern class-compliant MIDI controllers, plus a full set of traditional 5-pin MIDI DIN, In, Out, and Thru. No drivers, no software installation, no laptop. Plug in your controllers, assign each one to its board on the touchscreen, and play.
Three powered USB host ports (1A each), full MIDI, stereo I/O, and network.
“What I love about the Vibes is how seamlessly Vibes Connect lets you transfer your DAW knowledge onto the synth. This compact powerhouse has become my go-to for making music outdoors: a power bank and the right adapter is all it takes. It also integrates perfectly with my modular system.”
DJ / Music producer / Performer
“For over 20 years, I’ve been immersed in synthesizers, digital, analog, and modular. I particularly enjoy hardware sequencers for the direct control and flexibility they bring to my arrangements. Software offers endless variety, but nothing replaces the tactile experience of hardware. I love sharing this passion by programming patches and developing new sound ideas, and the Mayer Vibes offers virtually endless inspiration with its flexible synthesis and convenient browser interface”
Sound Designer
Programming and playing on Vibes is a truly inspiring experience because it’s a concept that’s so different from a simple synthesizer. This little device packs incredible power, where the only limit is your imagination. With multiple audio engines, a studio-quality effects section, and a clip launcher, it’s incredibly inspiring. And it’s an incredible honor for me to have contributed to the sound design and development… and I’ll tell you: the best is yet to come!
