Cinematique Instruments has released Downbeat Box, a new sample library for Kontakt.
Downbeat encompasses a wide variety of music-styles. But it´s much wider than those terms of “laid-back electronic music” alone would indicate. DOWNBEAT BOX is a fresh and exciting exploration into this world – highly playable, this essential selection will be a wonderful resource for use in a broad range of music styles such as electronic, pop and score music productions.
DOWNBEAT BOX is fed from many organic as well as synthetic sources. Beautifully sampled from such diverse sources as voices, whistling noises, feedbacks, guitars and sounds and slices of the subtractive synthesized legendary KORG MS20, the package contains a mishmash of pads & textures, beats, rhythms, percussions, add-ons and solo-sounds. Check out all the opportunities the instruments provide by using the modwheel or the programmed surface of Kontakt.

- Ambient A (Sampled guitars transformed to a calm ambient pad, modwheel controls sound).
- Ambient T (Deep evolving texture).
- Gentle (Sinus sounds formed to a chary and careful background).
