Cinematique Instruments Introduces Rytmik
Cinematique Instruments Introduces Rytmik
Rytmik is an uplifting beat engine that produces a very rich and unusual collection of sounds and beats for massive cinematic percussion, cue scoring, electro, hip hop, or industrial. It is a great tool for immediate rhythmic stimulus which grants unlimited versatility to find a unique language for the music you’re writing.
Rytmik is fed by over 200 drum and FX sounds that Cinematique Instruments carefully collected and specially created. Special attention was paid to massive booms and organic ensemble as well as to urban and unique sounds used for chasing cue or as ghost beats and finally to long FX sounds for creating wide and deep textures.
RYTMIK
Rytmik is a 32-step sequencer with up to 24 unique tracks, which gives you great flexibility and variation simply because of this large number of tracks. The sequencer is fed by over 200 drum and FX sounds that Cinematique Instruments has carefully collected and specially created. Cinematique Instruments paid special attention to the massive booms and hits that are the result of multiple layering of many individual percussion sounds – these sounds are actually rather often ensemble hits. But they also focused on creating urban and unique sounds that can be used for chasing cue or as ghost beats for music productions. And finally, they have taken care of long FX sounds that offer the possibility to create wide and deep textures. It doesn’t take much imagination to imagine what would come out when mixing all these sounds.
You get 350 instant beats divided in 50 main themes, 65 production beats, 55 chasing cues, 145 score patterns and 45 textures from electro/hip hop to scoring/cinematic and industrial. By using the 3 selection filter ‘Style’, ‘Energy’ and ‘Color you can easily narrow down your result.
You get massive booms and percussion ensemble hits, but also regular bass drum, toms, snares, cymbals and ethnic drums as well as urban and electronic sounds and unique fx slices.
The combination of organic and electronic sounds provides endless flexibility to find a unique language for the music you’re writing
NO LOOPS
Rytmik does not fire audio files or loops. Rytmik is based on a sequencer that plays every single beat in real time. This “open system” of a sequencer gives you access to your beat at any time, both in the changes of the individual beats and in the tempo and expression of it. There are 2 ways to play the beat. Either you press the play button or you play C4. But you are also free to play individual tracks separately in your own combinations. But you can also just play with single sounds live to beat. This is a great way to play rhythm with many variations.
Finally, the real-time shape option, already known from Marble, gives the beat infinite flexibility to edit the beat in real-time to your music. But if you don’t want to program your own beat and want Rytmik to suggest a suitable beat for you, with its large number of beats Rytmik always provides enough material for you, so that you don’t have to go to the mixer or sequencer. And to make sure that you always find the right sound or beat, Cinematique Instruments have built-in many suitable search filters, so you can quickly find exactly what you have in mind.

The Pandrum is a fantastic handpan instrument with an amazing sound. Its design is modern and sleek, making it the perfect addition to any music producer’s toolkit. The Pandrum is a package of seven individual Handpans.
What Instrument Is a Handpan?
A handpan is a percussion instrument that consists of a concave metal pan with a central dome, played with the hands.
The Hang and pantam are classified as idiophone musical instruments, which make up the majority of percussion instruments. The handpan, hang, and pantam are all technically part of the idiophone category of musical instruments. The vast majority of non-drum percussion instruments are also idiophones.
Drums produce sound by vibrating the entire instrument as a whole, either by striking one or multiple drums at once.
The Pandrum has seven individual handpans, each with its own unique sound.
How Does a Handpan Work?
What is a handpan, and how does it operate? – The dimples on the nitrided steel are tuned to a diatonic scale as a result of the adjustment. The dimples make sounds when struck. The sound is produced by altering the air within and then releasing it through a hole in the pan’s bottom half.
Is the Handpan Hard to Learn?
Is handpan hard to learn? – Playing a handpan is not difficult since there are fewer notes to play than on most other instruments. The scales utilized further exacerbate the problem of striking a poor tone, making it difficult to do so. A basic sense of rhythm is required, but handpan training is inexpensive and easily available.
Cinematique Instruments’ Handpan
A handpan is made up of two halves of metal shells that are joined together with a hole in the bottom. On top is a central tone field, which includes the deepest note and surrounds it with a circle of at least seven tone fields containing higher notes. The tone fields’ creation and adjustment is quite complicated. The tuner strikes numerous overtones into each tone field while tuning. This procedure takes a long time.
The handpan is available in a wide range of scales from across the world. In addition to traditional handpan instruments with sound-field damage, there is also the category of Tongue Drums, which utilize metal reeds.
It’s a rather beautiful virtual handpan replica, but it also allows you to significantly expand and alter the entire sound by using numerous features.
Cinematique Instruments has created a very sophisticated pick of handpans and tongue drums for Pandrum, ranging from simple to exquisite. They were all captured in several dynamic layers and 8 round robin variants.
Review of Cinematique Instruments’ Pandrum
Cinematique Instruments offers a variety of high-end handpan instruments such as Zephyr, Leaf, Pan Art, Camenzind, Orbi Pan, and Tiflis. Also included are recordings with the Zephyr’s special percussion set and an Orbi Drum set played by mallets that sounds similar to steel drums.
There are two amazing tongue drums to choose from: the Aqua Drum, which is long and sustained, and the RAV Vast, which has a longer sustain.
Cinematic Instruments’ Pandrum is a fantastic collection of eight pan and tongue drums with five texture layers. With simple abilities for both the studio and the stage, Pandrum is not only for the composer.
The Pandrum module from Cinematique Instruments is a digital audio workstation (DAW) plugin that generates the relaxing and meditative sound of the pan drum family. Pandrum, which has been meticulously recorded, transports the sound of these pricey and difficult-to-obtain instruments with limited tonality into a full and nuanced collection of fully chromatic sounds.
The hand pan family comprises two metal half-shells (neither of which is convex), one of which has been hammered into seven or more ‘tone fields,’ each of which must be played manually.
A Fantastic Handpan Instrument
Hang originated in the early 2000s, when a Swiss company called Hang began producing it. Around the world, musicians have created their own versions of Hang instruments since then. In essence, it’s like a steel pan instrument from the Caribbean. Because each hand pan and tank drum is made and tuned by hand by a specialist, costs are high and supplies are restricted.
The fundamental overtones in these tones fields, themselves packed with harmonic components, are frequently organized into an ‘ethnic scale.’ The tone fields for a hand pan, often known as a “steel tongue drum” or “tank drum,” are replaced by tongues on this variant of the hand pan, which may be played manually or with mallets.
Drums are unique in their sound, but they also share a uniformity of tone when played together. Individual drums have a particular tonality and key center that may be achieved relative intervallic relationships with one other. There is a relationship between each drum and its performative environment, just as there was for brass players 400 years ago.
To make things more simple, Cinematique Instruments has compiled and assessed a variety of pans and tanks to meet the demands of each piece or production.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Cinematique Instruments’ Pandrum is an exceptional instrument with a fantastic sound in a modern design. Finally, it is a very impressive reproduction of a real handpan instrument but also offers the ability to extremely extend and vary the entire sound by applying numerous features. There are versions for the Kontakt 5.68 full version as well as free HALion Sonic Player available.
Cinematique Instruments’ Pandrum is a fantastic collection of eight pan and tongue drums with five texture layers. With simple abilities for both the studio and the stage, Pandrum is not only for the composer. In conclusion, I highly recommend this instrument to anyone looking for high-quality handpan sounds.

Cinematique Instruments New Java Mallets – Unique Mallets With Indonesian Flavor
Java Mallets – Unique Mallets With Indonesian Flavor
Java Mallets is an inspirational instrument that offers a selection of unique mallet sounds combined with a mythical Indonesian flavor. Because of its particular character, it suits a lot of many styles of music.
Cinematique Instruments obtained the traditional sound aesthetic of a Javanese gamelan orchestra in particular and performed it to fit their special way of thinking about what Cinematique Instruments expect from instruments to make modern music with – and it doesn’t matter if it’s a cool movie score or a fine pop song. Each instrument is equipped with multiple articulations to provide a wide range of sound possibilities.
JAVANESE GAMELAN
Gamelan is traditional ensemble music from Indonesia based around mallet instruments, most commonly metallophones. For Java Mallets, Cinematique Instruments was inspired by the Javanese style tradition which is characterized by a softer nature.
For a long time, Cinematique Instruments has been fascinated by the unique timbres the Gamelan offers and have been searching for a way to capture them to implement the sounds into our music.
Searching for an opportunity to record Cinematique Instruments formed a cooperation with Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum and their curator Hartmut Zänder to record their exhibits. While the orchestra of the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum consists of instruments that were built around 1900, the private collection of Hartmut Zänder contains modern built instruments which bring new colors to Java Mallets.
| 16 Mallet Articulations Cinematique Instruments have collected a ridiculous amount of single instruments, with each articulation containing related instruments being playable over several octaves so you can play them over the full range of the keyboard. Additionally, Cinematique Instruments played each of these groups with mallets Cinematique Instruments admire and felt fitting for the according to the instrument. 5 Bowed Articulations Cinematique Instruments always enjoyed bowing things not supposed to be bowed so Cinematique Instruments seized the chance and bowed the Gender and the Saron. An instrument supposed to get bowed though is the rebab, which Cinematique Instruments recorded metal and yarn stringed. Since this has become a quite rough-sounding collection Cinematique Instruments complemented this category with a rubbed gong with a calming character. 4 String Articulations In order to furthermore enrich the versatility of Java Mallets Cinematique Instruments recorded a rebab metal stringed and a rebab yarn stringed. Each of them is a plucked and a spiccato variation. | Ombak Simulation Ombak is a technique in Gamelan music doubling an instrument with a slightly detuned companion creating a chorus-like shimmering effect. Appreciating this Cinematique Instruments created such a companion for each articulation letting you control the amount of the detuning and the stereo width. Sound Shaping Besides the regular tools such as envelope (attack, decay) there is an EQ, a reverb, and a delay as well as additional FX options such as octaver, drive, rotary or tremolo. This is perfect to quickly change and shape the entire sound of the Java Mallets. 16 Presets In order to show the versatility and possibility to build textures, there are 16 presets available. Each one stands for a different way of playing the Java Mallets. |
