According to Cinematique Instruments:
“Cement is a sequencer-based pattern generator. It is designed to allow the user to create cementing textures, crawling patterns or a fundamental for your musical idea.
Cement comes up with three layered instruments, which can create numerous sound colors. The instruments are: a sinus synth, a banjo combined with guitar harmonics and a music box. Cement provides several options to modify the sound: low-pass- and high-pass filter (with a random high pass modulator), distortion- and speaker switches, an alternate sinus sci-fi sound, separate length settings and separate slider to set the amount of two delays and a reverb.
Cement runs in stand-alone mode as well as in-sync to a host application. Just click on the 16th note to play the sound – a second click increases the velocity level – a third click removes the note. Clicking on the note symbol to changes the pitch. Cement provides 4 different kinds of scales, transposing functions, shuffle- and tempo modes and finally load/ save switches to save/recall the entire setting of Cement.”
And the company says this about Geiger Counter:
“Geiger Counter is a sequencer based pattern generator. Contrary to Cement, it is a non-harmonic percussive module that is best suited to lend your music production a contemporary percussive color. You can easily create groovy patterns built out of bits, glitches and blips!
“Geiger Counter comes up with two different sound groups, which can create numerous sound colors: There are firstly six different sounds of bits, glitch and blips – available twice at two separate tracks and secondly six different noise samples. For modifying the character of your pattern, Geiger Counter provides plenty of options to change the sound to your very own requirements: lowpass- and highpass filter (with a random high- and highpass filter (with a random high- and low pass modulator), distortion-, lofi- and speaker switches, a cacophony (!) switch, separate fader to set the length and volume of all three tracks and separate slider to set the amount of two delays and a reverb.
Geiger Counter runs in Standalone and in-sync mode to your host application. Select one of the six different samples by clicking the left mouse button and moving it over on the 16th note of your choice to play the sound. That’s it! Beside that, Geiger Counter provides shuffle- and tempo modes and finally load/ save switches to save/recall your entire setting of Geiger Counter.”
