REQ: Cinematique Instruments : Pandrum 2 KONTAKT
Creative use of beautiful mallet instruments
This is the Pandrum 2, the updated version of our virtual hand and tongue drums!
It really is a wonderful and extensive collection of great sounding instruments and a software that can be changed insanely quickly. We've packed a lot of stuff into this version.
Pandrum 2 has complete new look: modern and much wider.
There are 11 new instruments - 5 handpans such as Steel Drum as well as 6 layer instruments. Pandrum 2 now comes with 22 presets. That's 15 more. And with the completely redesigned effect engine we have a lot of interesting options for which we have made wonderful presets. I'm not giving too much away by saying that Pandrum 2 has become even more versatile.
