Native Instruments – Odes

Unleash the power of rhythm to compose living soundscapes that tell stories across cultures, time, and emotion.

From shimmering strings to worldly woodwinds, every note moves the story forward.

Whether scoring film, TV, or immersive media, Odes empowers you to blend organic and electronic textures into rhythm-driven narratives that breathe and evolve.
