Exceptional user experience
The user-centric design of the Kadabra™ MW ensures an exceptional user experience. The intuitive controls, visual feedback, and seamless integration of software and hardware enable musicians to focus on their creativity without being hindered by complex setups or steep learning curves. The emphasis on usability differentiates the Kadabra™ music workstation from any other musical instrument.
Musical extension of your personality
The Kadabra™ Music Workstation is far more than a traditional instrument or controller. With an innovative ergonomic design and intuitive controls, it empowers musicians to express themselves fully, allowing them to dance their sound out. It blurs the line between the performer and the instrument, enhancing the overall musicality and connection between artists and the sound they create.
Innovative performance features
the Kadabra™ Music Workstation introduces revolutionary performance features that redefine live music experiences. From the hyper-relative Sequencer and Arper that dynamically adapt to scale changes, to the mesmerizing visual feedback and the ability to assign everything to “power buttons” with the Master Shape, the Kadabra™ MW offers unique tools for musicians to create captivating and engaging performances.
KEY FEATURES
Seamless integration with your existing setup
The Kadabra™ music workstation adapts to your workflows, enabling you to work with your existing setup. Serving as a midi controller, it can sync and control any DAW, virtual instrument or plugin. With over 40 knobs per channel, and virtual midi wiring capability, it provides you with full control over all the elements in your studio. Just plug & play.
Hyper-Expressive
The Kadabra™ music workstation’s motion and pressure sensors offer a broader scope of expression, allowing for adjustments on up to 7 “knobs” simultaneously (6 motion axis and 1 pressure sensor), much more than the usual 2 knobs movement (using 2 hands) to be adjusted simultaneously. This, combined with the intuitive full-body engagement that is deeply connected to the sound, provides an unparalleled range of expression.
2 separate keyboards on a single device
Play 2 sounds simultaneously using the instrument’s bar and ball rows of keyboards. The Kadabra™ music workstation’s adaptive design enables musicians to seamlessly assign multiple virtual instruments to each row, and infuse their sounds during playing while staying in perfect sync with the key and scale.
Never out of tune, always on the beat
Whether in the studio or on stage, easily set your tone and scale, and start jamming on any instrument you like, adding layers and expression to your music. The Kadabra™ music workstation will automatically make sure that you are always in sync and on key. In addition to its unique Sequencer and Arper modes, which naturally synchronize, a Quantizer mode makes sure that everything you play live remains rhythmically in sync, always landing precisely on the beat.
Extensive toolkit for music production
Easily set up your desired scale and harmony, and enrich your sound with an extensive pallet of production functions like Viber, Arper, Looper, FXer and more, all easily accessible, arranged and controlled directly from your Kadabra™ instrument. Having a Kadabra™ music workstation in you studio, speeds up and ignites the composition step and the whole rhythm section, you can also export and import Midi sections from its Looper into your DAWs song’s arrangement.
