Introducing Liminal: Handpan Explorations , a sample library of meticulously recorded steel handpan (also known as hang or hangdrum).
The library is built on our new Polyrhythms engine , which allows you to create complex polyrhythmic patterns synchronized with the project’s tempo by simply layering notes. The instrument was recorded with attention to detail to convey not only its timbre and natural reverberation, but also the subtle nuances of performance – touches of hands or strikes of a hammer.
In addition to the phrase polyrhythmic samples, the library contains aleatoric and textural performances – “clusters”. They are ideal for creating naturalistic pads that add an element of unpredictability and creative imperfection to the composition. This brings organic details that cannot be obtained from synthesized sources.
The library also includes 6 articulations of single strokes performed with hands, fingers and mallets. Each of the articulations contains 42 layers of velocity, conveying the slightest timbral changes – from soft to powerful strokes.
The interface allows you to layer, mix and reverse articulations. The Crossfade Gizmo allows you to smoothly blend sound layers using intuitive color coding. LFO controls can be activated, allowing the tempo of your DAW to control the volume modulation of each individual layer. This opens up the possibility of tempo-synced swells and provides even more creative freedom in creating dynamically evolving textures.

• 1.7 GB of samples (3.8 GB before lossless compression)
• 45 polyrhythmic articulations
• 6 basic hits with 42 velocity layers
