KADABRA Is a smart innovative wireless musical instrument that makes the impossible - intuitive
In development for 5 years and the first of a number of tools designed for producers, performers and musicians, the instrument is made of hardwood and combines high-end electronics, smart algorithms and an ergonomic design. There are 24 capacitive copper pipe keys carved into the lower part of the body, flanked by smart multicolored LED lighting. The upper section is home to 12 control buttons, three thumb buttons and three pressure sensors, six utility buttons and a wheel encoder. All of the buttons have been designed for durability and the lights correspond to scales, tones and functions to give the player a visual performance or learning reference. Up to 16 different sounds can play simultaneously and motion sensors allow the player to control different parameters or produce specific sounds/effects with sharp or flowing movements.
Kadabra has A long range wireless technology with zero latency, Dedicated software for computers which can sync with stand-alone VST instruments, MIDI devices or digital audio workstations over MIDI. It also sports a USB port for physical connectivity for updates, Future Upgrades, and to charge Kadabra's built-in battery (up to 8 hours between top-ups).
Performers can use the Scaler to produce scales and harmonies, fire up the onboard MIDI-based Sequencer for complex rhythms creation, dial in the Arpeggiator to turn played notes into a looped pattern or launch the MIDI Looper, which allows the player to alter the tone, change the tempo, lengthen or shorten the loop and jump scales on the fly. The Viber feature is an expanding and contracting time-based short loop player, and allows for manipulation of loops and sequences using vibration changes in their time frames. The head unit can also be swapped out for a microphone mount to control vocal sounds or add effects.
Tribal Tools aims to release the Kadabra in the second half of 2016
