Native Instruments releases Odes

Bring scenes to life with Odes, Native Instruments new kinetic orchestral instrument.

Odes has made its debut today, the third entry in Native Instruments' 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.
