The GECKO Family

Below you can see descriptions and images of all already released Gecko instruments. The price for each Gecko is $45.00.

Complex Environs: This is the Swiss army knife! This Gecko provides a great deal of options: simple but interesting pads, living textures, unusual movements or vanguard sounds. An excess of 20 sound sources to combine are giving a great choice!

Ever played Mabuse with circades or ever heard water drops added to a thirsty man? A most interesting tool! Below there are 2 short demo tracks by the use of Complex Environs (additional lonesome CI percussion)

Serious Decision & Hades

Metal Strings: This Gecko contains all the strings of the Cinematique Instruments Library in one patch: Autoharp, Celtic Nylon Harp, Kantele, Monochord and the newbies Hammeres Dulcimer and Guitar Harmonics! The right instrument to give your music a bright shimmer.

You get wonderful options to mix them all as you like. Maybe a notch more Kantele? Sherlock Holmes sends you his regards! Metal Strings provides a brand new feature of Gecko: A solo switch to hear each sound slot separately.

Here is a very draft music piece made only by the use of Metal Strings:

Dracul

Cheap Keys: Odd and headstrong! This gecko shines with an unusual and exceptional assortment of keyboard sounds such as old rhodes, cheap synthetic e-pianos or charming organ sounds - enriched by various vintage synths, lo-fi guitars and noises.

Did you know what it sounds like when you combine Grandma´s Piano, a Super Sound and a C64 Piano? Below there is a demo track by the use of Cheap Keys (additional percussion: Ocean Drum and Bongos)

Easy

Eerie Textures:The experimental one! Have you always wanted to compose your own extensive sound sculpture? This gecko delivers just about all you need: dark tonal textures, strange sonic figures and eerie sound sources such as waggon crackling or pan-fry noises.

Having said this, it is more than logical that this Gecko is best suitable for composing wonderful dark and expressive sound textures or experimental non-harmonic sound movements. Although its sound options make it a perfect match when writing score or theater music, you can exploit it for any kind of music at all.

Here are some short pieces made only by the use of Eerie Textures (and one Glitchy Rhythmer).

Odd Mallets: This is the mallet master. Rarely it has been so easy to create your own mallet sound - just like a cooking recipe: 2 pound of Marimba, a pinch of Draft Rhodes, a dash of Glockenspiel and a spoon full of Gas Bottle

Mmmmh - sounds delicious! Odd Mallets delivers a wide range of sound sources such as bells and glockenspiel, marimba, iron and weird metal, short guitar, keyboard sounds and some strange noises. And can imagine the results the randomize function will deliver!

To test Gecko we offer an limited free version here. Below there are some short draft demo tracks made only by the use of several layered Odd Mallets

Leisurely Home & Woven Tinkling

Warm Pads: Warm Pads? Imagine, you´re working on the chorus of a pop song and looking for the right pad! This gecko is the right tool for you. Compose the pads exactly you expect them!

No matter if you´re looking for synthetic orchestra strings, a calm and relaxed foundation for a piano track or some melancholic movement - you get it with Warm Pads. A collection of 6 different warm and rich pads offers a wide range of application. Warm Pads provides a brand new feature of Gecko: A solo switch to play each sound slot separately!

Transcending

GLYTCHY RYTHMER: The right tool to lend distinction to the rhythmic base of your music. This gecko comes with an assortment of over 20 unique, glitchy and unusual add-on rhythmic and percussion loops.

All of them are tempo-synced. Feeded on the percussion sounds of the "Experimental Box I + II", the " Downbeat Box" and some new sounds (upcoming releases), the loops are best suitable to complement all different sorts of rhythms: pop, rock, electronic or the major chasing-cue of your movie. And to keep in mind: you can use six of them at a time!

Below there is a demo track made only by the use of Glitchy Rhythmer and Warm Pads:
