The sounds of movement in nature produce what’s known as pink noise. This increases the alpha waves in the brain, inducing the flow state of consciousness, the state in which the brain is at its most creative. Kia collaborated with DaHouse Audio and world leading synth experts in the world to create the Kia Instrument: a unique synth that uses the sounds of movement in nature to enable creativity.

The initial release comes with 8 different nature sounds that you can use to form the basis of your composition. Shape your sound and add individual flair to your track using a range of built-in tools such as the mixer, filter, ADSR, VCO, waveforms, output, and the touchpad keyboard so you can play as you go. You can create endless patterns, save your loops, play them back immediately and modulate the sounds with the dials. The key buttons light up when played, which offers a quick visual orientation.
