Will this instrument work on my system?
Great question! I actually create all my Kontakt instruments on my trusty 2013 Intel iMac 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 with 24 GB Ram. Yep, it’s over a decade old! But there’s a good reason for that. With Open Core Legacy Patcher installed, it’s still a fantastic setup, and it also lets me develop and test on a system that’s often less powerful than the ones many users have. This way, there’s a nice buffer for system requirements, so whether you're using an older or a newer, more powerful setup, it should perform smoothly.
As with all Kontakt instruments, performance depends on the effects and modes used. While I can’t promise perfect compatibility with every system, I can tell you that it runs beautifully on my over-10-year-old iMac!
What’s the difference between the Kontakt and Soundbox versions of Kadence?
Great question! While both versions share the same stunning vocal and pad layers, they’re built on entirely different platforms, each offering unique features and benefits.
Kontakt Version
The Kontakt version of Kadence includes 8 smart controllers that let you sculpt the tonal character of the vocals. These controllers - Magic, Space, Shimmer, Tone, and Depth - give you creative control over elements like pitched shimmer delay, brightness, and overall depth.
Soundbox Version
The Soundbox version doesn’t include these specific smart controllers because it uses a completely different sound engine. However, it offers more control over individual layers, allowing you to adjust volume, attack, reverb, and filters for each layer. It also includes Vector mode, which lets you morph seamlessly between four layers for dynamic, evolving textures.
A key advantage of the Soundbox version is that it’s compatible with iPadOS, making it perfect for mobile music creation.
Sound Quality
Both versions sound almost identical. For the Soundbox version, I’ve carefully resampled every note of the Kontakt version to retain all the magic and sonic depth. Whether you’re using Kontakt or Soundbox, you’ll experience the same ethereal beauty and expressive power.
Kontakt Instrument
- 5 .nki presets
Create emotional vocal atmospheres with kadence, perfect for film, meditation & more.
Immerse yourself in pure sonic beauty with Kadence, Kompose Audio’s latest vocal instrument for Kontakt, featuring the mesmerizing voice of Robyn. Crafted to inspire cinematic, meditation, and relaxation music, Kadence opens the door to rich, atmospheric soundscapes that resonate with timeless depth and emotion. Robyn’s vocals radiate warmth and otherworldly beauty, perfect for bringing life to emotive compositions.
Each of the 5 presets in Kadence offers a dynamic vocal experience, with two vocal layers (C2-C7) and a textured pad layer on the lower keys (C0-B1). Vocal Layer 1 has more reverb, giving it a distant, ethereal quality, while Vocal Layer 2 is more present and prominent. When combined, these layers create a beautiful, deep, and evocative vocal texture. The lower pad delivers a rich ambient soundscape, blending perfectly with the vocals to create a full, immersive instrument. You can also let the vocal layers shine on their own for an equally captivating sound.
At the heart of Kadence is a simple and intuitive interface designed for both playability and flexibility. Each preset is equipped with 8 smart controllers, giving you full control over the depth, tone, reverb, and levels of both the vocal and pad layers. All controllers are MIDI-assignable, making it a breeze to integrate into your DAW for seamless control. Whether you're shaping the perfect sound or adding live, organic expression, these controllers make your performances feel more dynamic and personalized.
Plus, you’ll find a vocal attack slider that lets you control how quickly the vocals fade in, adding even more flexibility to your sound. There’s also a low-pass filter slider for the pad, perfect for dialing in just the right level of warmth and texture to your ambient layers.
A Voice Like No Other
Kadence is more than a vocal instrument - it’s a journey into a sonic landscape rich with emotion and character. Let Robyn’s voice carry your compositions to new heights and experience the transformative power of Kadence in your musical toolkit. Whether you’re scoring film, crafting ambient music, or creating meditative experiences, Kadence promises to be an invaluable companion in bringing your most evocative ideas to life.
