Native Instruments has introduced third entry in its Evolution series following the acclaimed Lores and Fables. Built to add tension and enhance narrative expression through rhythm and layered motion, Odes is a cinematic instrument for stories that move, both dynamically and emotionally.
From piercing Mongolian horse fiddles to floating tenor recorders, Odes lets you create an eclectic ensemble of three instruments from across cultures, each with independent looping rhythms and one-shots. The result is a living, rhythmic soundscape that feels immersive, expressive, and ready for the screen.
Odes features
- Eclectic ensemble of instruments: Blend the horse fiddle, nyckelharpa, kamanche, and more into a diverse palette of striking sounds that effortlessly harmonize together.
- Three-layer articulation engine: Stack and sculpt up to three moving articulations per instrument for intricate, shifting performances that form the rhythmic foundation of your score.
- Professional ambience control: Add cinematic depth with convolution reverb and flexible mic mixing.
- Polyphonic aftertouch: Subtly shape volume, panning, filters, pitch, and modulation with the keys.
Odes for Kontakt and the free Kontakt Player is available to purchase for the intro price of $149 USD through October 30th, 2025 (regular $199 USD). A bundle with Lores, Fables and Odes is priced $399 USD.
