CINEMATIK PACK 2
Calm, light and moving, played by your K2700.
64 gentle scenes for the quiet, hopeful moments of a film: soft pads, piano scapes, strings and air, bells and mallets, harps and guitars, slow motion, nature and wide horizons. Acoustic keymaps lead, choirs and strings glow behind them, and nothing ever stands quite still.
+CINEMATIK included, free
Not every scene is a storm. PACK 2 is the light after it.
PACK 2 is made for the gentle side of picture: a morning in the kitchen, a letter read again, a field at harvest, a first flight, a homecoming. A soft piano, a tine piano at its quietest, a harp and a nylon guitar, flutes, a clarinet, a French horn, solo cello, viola and violin, celesta, vibes, marimba, chimes and an mbira lead; Mellotron strings, choirs and voices glow behind them.
The movement is small and slow, like breathing: layers that trade places, a lens that opens with the sunrise, a tremolo on the vibes, echoes that turn a harp into an arpeggio, a global LFO that sways a whole chord. The pianos and mallets ring out and fade into the pads under them; the lenses stay open, with hardly any resonance and no grit.
They were balanced layer by layer on a K2700 and levelled there, so the 64 sit at the same loudness. Play them softly: velocity brightens the pianos, harps and horns, the wheel brings more movement, pressure makes them swell.
Eight reels. Sixty-four quiet scenes.
From the first light to the closing credits: each scene with its own name, a genre and a synopsis.

Play the scene, not a menu.
Every program carries the same control plan as PACK 1, so the K2700's sliders and knobs always do the same job: shape the scene while it plays.
