Cinematique Instruments Downbeat Box

Cinematique Instruments has announced the release of Downbeat Box, described as "an exploration into the world of downbeat and ambient."

Downbeat Box is fed from many organic as well as synthetic sources, CI says.

Sampled from diverse sources such as voices, whistling noises, feedbacks, guitars and sounds and slices of the subtractive synthesized Korg MS20, the package contains a mishmash of pads & textures, beats, rhythms, percussions, add-ons and solo-sounds.

Kontakt 3.5 is required.
