Sound Character and Playable Controls

Cinematique Instruments describes the sounds as warm and realistic. Each instrument offers attack and release control for note length, an EQ switch, amp simulation, distortion and reverb amount.

By combining these controls, the developer says the instruments can produce a wide range of sounds, including organic reverse guitars, fragile string notes and warm electric piano tones.
