Nimbus turns your webcam into an expressive MIDI controller. Two hands, twelve CC channels, real-time tracking. No gloves, no hardware.
Six instruments and control surfaces, all played with bare hands. Mix and match them on one canvas — strum a chord with one hand while the other rides a filter knob.
A library of ready-made mappings — hand openness, height, X position, distance between hands, pinch and snap — all pre-wired and ready to assign to any parameter.
One hand picks and strums — pinch like you're holding a pick and sweep across the strings. The other shapes chords by signing 1–5, each mapped from a 12-chord library. Two hands, two roles, one instrument.
Record any hand pose or movement, name it, and map it to a CC channel. Trigger mode for on/off switches, scale mode for continuous control. Your vocabulary, your rules.
A virtual piano on the canvas — curl individual fingers to play notes. Pair with the arp laser for BPM-synced sequences: a 16-step sequencer with per-step note assignment.
A chord instrument split across two hands. Left hand picks root notes A–G from a radial wheel; right hand selects variations — maj, min, sus, dim, aug, 5ths, 6ths, 9ths. Flip Smooth on for gliding, legato changes.
Drag sliders and knobs onto the canvas. Grab a slider with a fist grip and slide along the line. Pinch near a knob and twist your wrist to rotate. Each maps to any CC channel with adjustable range.
