Product Description

• What is a Kantele? Native to Finland and Estonia
• the Kantele is a traditional plucked string instrument. The Kantele is part of the Baltic Psaltery instrument group and related to the Zither. This instrument has a distinctive bell-like sound and diatonic tuning. Cinematique's Kantele has five strings tuned in G-A-B-C' and D'
• but they've made a Kontakt patch to play it in chromatic tuning. The Kantele was updated in 2015 to version 2: Cinematique recorded the Kantele from scratch. Besides a more detailed and complex recording in terms of Round Robin variations and velocity layers
• they have recorded the Kantele with two complete different microphones: a dynamic Sennheiser MD 421 and
• on the other hand
• a condenser mic Neumann U-87. Furthermore
• they've added a reverse sample set to enrich the Kantele with a more artificial character – if you want. However
• you can still hear and play some of the old samples by checking the articulation "Vintage ". This sample set was recorded some years ago
• and it has another sound timbre which could make your Kantele sound more bright. Update: in 2022
• Cinematique have updated the Kantele to version 2.5. They have added new presets and effects and some new features
• such as the Arp and the Recorder. Finally
• they created a new GUI to take the design to a new level.
