Why Vibes

More of your setup.
In one instrument.

Stereo from the first stage.

Every voice carries two channels through oscillators, filters and amps. Width starts inside the sound, before effects.

Meet the stereo voice
Wavetable editing on the Vibes touchscreen

Four ways to make a sound.

Wavetable, Algorithm and Resonator on two oscillators, plus samples and SFZ multisamples on a third. Combine them in one patch.

“I love wavetable synthesis going back to the early Serum 1 days. When I first picked up the Vibes I loved the innovative features and the fast workflow. Combining 2 wavetables and an SFZ sample library gives you so many options to create great sounds — all in one small box ready to get thrown in a backpack with a small MIDI keyboard on the go.”

“What I love about the Vibes is how seamlessly VibesConnect 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.”

“For over 20 years I’ve been immersed in synthesizers — digital, analog, and modular. Software offers endless variety, but nothing replaces the tactile experience of hardware. The Mayer Vibes offers virtually endless inspiration with its flexible synthesis and convenient browser interface.”

“Programming and playing on Vibes is a truly inspiring experience because it’s a concept so different from a simple synthesizer. This little device packs incredible power — the only limit is your imagination. Multiple audio engines, a studio-quality effects section, and a clip launcher. And the best is yet to come.”

The people behind Vibes

Three people.
One workshop.
Every unit tested by hand.

Horst Mayer built his first synthesizer at 17. After 35 years in industrial automation, including co-founding nxtControl, later acquired by Schneider Electric, he returned to building electronic instruments.

Today Mayer EMI is three people in Bad Vöslau, 30 minutes south of Vienna. Every Vibes is assembled, tested and inspected here before it ships.
