Kalimba

Pluck the tines of this innovative desktop instrument, and it responds like a living kalimba—blending physical touch with digital synthesis for sounds that evolve intuitively.

Six front-panel knobs shape your tones: timbre, excite, blend, detune, body, and decay. Twelve velocity-sensitive tines capture plucks and bends, enhanced by touch sensors, an accelerometer for expressive shifts, and a microphone that excites physical modeling when you tap the body. Dive into arpeggiation, octave buttons, a built-in layering looper, 16 presets, and effects like reverb, delay, bitcrush, overdrive, filtering, and modulation—all powered by hybrid FM and physical modeling engines with 6 voices.

Portable at 144 × 95 × 50 mm and 310g, it features a built-in speaker, USB-C rechargeable battery, stereo 3.5mm headphone/line out, MIDI in (TRS and USB), and clock in. Play it handheld like an acoustic thumb piano or sync it as a MIDI synth for endless creativity.
