Shift v2 Is Live — 576 Gestures, One Click, Zero Mode Math

I created version 1 of Shift as a PDF in a post here about 1 month ago. After further development I can now present Shift v2 - a free web app that does it all in one click.

What’s New in v2?

  • 576 gestures from 4 libraries (Small Strings Gestures, Nocturnal Gestures, Glass Strings, Dulcet Voice)

  • Real-time database — no PDFs, no scrolling

  • Custom key order (C Major first, then C Minor, C# Major…)

  • Curated gesture flow — from safe to bold (Home Base, Open Air, Rich Color, Drone Lock, Smooth Slide, Spicy Twist)

  • Zero dead ends — every combo returns a real, playable result

  • Web-app, easy to use (no log-in, no mail, no fuss…just save the link)

How to Use Shift v2 (3 Steps, 3 Seconds)

1. Pick your Library.

2. Choose your note. Major for good things, minor for bad things.

3. Select a Gesture Type (Home Base, Open Air, Rich Color, Drone Lock, Smooth Slide, Spicy Twist) → Click Generate.

“One Note” Magic — No Mode Math Required

- You don’t need to know Dorian, Lydian, or Mixolydian

- Just ask: “Do I want F# to feel hopeful or haunting?”

  • Pick Major or Minor — that’s it

  • Shift v2 gives you the perfect, tonal shift — every time

**One note. One emotion. One shift.**
