Cinematique Instruments releases new library of "Rare and Unique Instruments" for Kontakt

Cinematique Instruments has announced the release of a brand new library of rare and unique instruments for Native Instruments' Kontakt. The library contains string sounds such as an AutoHarp and a Kantele and keyboard instruments like a Rhodes Mark I, a rehearsal Piano and special processed low-cost-keyboards. There are also some new, specially created instruments (percussion & mallets) such as Glass, Lids, Handrail and Kitchen. Cinematique Instruments says it's of utmost importance to them to make all instruments and patches playable in a natural and organic way.

Pricing for individual instruments starts at €5.

Summary of all instruments

String-Instruments:

• AutoHarp: This is a stringed instrument with a series of chord bars. Despite its name, the autoharp is not a harp – it's a chorded zither - and it's the perfect instrument to give subtle highlights to all kinds of music (6 patches).
• Baritone Ukulele Muted: This is the largest size of ukulele and is tuned differently to the others (D-G-B-E, the same as the last four strings of a standard guitar, as opposed to G-C-E-A). Cinematique Instruments concentrated on the muted played notes which can add beautiful light and subtle elements to your music
  (3 patches).
• Kantele: This a traditional plucked string instrument of the zither family native to Finland and Estonia with a distinctive bell-like sound and a diatonic tuning. Cinematique Instruments made a Kontakt patch to play it in a chromatic tuning (3 patches).

Key-Instruments:

• Magnus Harmonica Organ: This little organs use an electric fan to blow air across reeds, like a giant harmonica with keys (3 patches).
• Super Sound EK-470: This is the processed e-piano sound of a low-cost, garbage keyboard for just €25. The sound is warm and crunchy (3 patches).
• Zeitter & Winkelmann Piano: This is Cinematique Instruments rehearsal piano, located in one of its control rooms. It's got a warm and organic charm (3 patches).

Mallets / Percussion (Tuned):

• Glass: A collection of glasses and vases in different sizes. Cinematique Instruments scrubbed, rubbed, tapped and hit all the glass and made some instruments out of it (3 patches).
• Metallic Objects/Lids: A collection of lid sounds. Cinematique Instruments struck the lids with fingers and recorded various sounds. It allows you to make up your own lid-mallet sound.

Percussion:

• Metallic Objects/Kitchen, Handrail: This is a collection of sounds, noises, crashes and bangs made with Cinematique Instruments's studio fixture and fittings: an iron Kitchen and a staircase with its huge Handrail. The result is: experimental percussion, strange and remarkable mallets.
• Percussion: All percussion sounds are easy to play in a lively, realistic and organic way (no loops). Available as a multi set or single instruments of: Bongos, Chimes, Guiro, Ocean Drum, Shaker, Spring Drum and Tambourine. Just in the multi are: Toms, Cymbals and Wood.
