VMuse for families

Create together on one iPad.

Turn pictures, sounds, drawings, and instruments into a shared musical surface, then open a stable version full screen to perform.

What can we make?

Something that looks like your idea and plays like your instrument.

VMuse gives a family a flexible surface rather than a fixed game. The activity can stay small and simple or grow into a detailed performance layout.

Visual sound boards

Pair a themed image with clear sound areas and familiar labels.

Custom drum layouts

Arrange percussion controls around the hands that will play them.

Pitch instruments

Use a built-in instrument, direct controls, or a configurable grid of pads.

Shared performances

Arrange distinct performance areas for different parts or people.

A clear creative workflow

Make changes when you want. Protect the version you want to play.

  1. EditBuild the surface and choose what should play.
  2. Test DraftTry the current draft without editing it.
  3. PublishPrepare a stable stage version.
  4. PerformPlay full screen on the same iPad.

Local by design

The creative work stays with the iPad.

VMuse does not sign anyone in or connect the creative workflow to an online service.
