The Hang Drum

Soniccoutures quest for the exotic, the unique, the
esoteric, and the downright weird and quirky, brings
us to our latest obsession, the Hang Drum.

You may not have heard of the Hang its a
relatively new instrument and its extremely hard to
get hold of one. First invented in the year 2000 by
PANArt, they are hand built in Switzerland by two
very dedicated people, Felix and Sabina. If you want
one, you must ask them if they will build you one. If
they agree, then you may have to wait up to 2 years.

The Hang Drum is played with the hands. Everyone who
gets to play one falls in love with it a little bit.
Its incredibly sensitive and dynamic it rings pure
and true. It sounds like magic. The entire disc
resonates at a central frequency as your hands move
around the edge teasing the notes out.

Two Different Drums

There are two types of Hang, the Mk1 and Mk2. The Mk
1 had 8 notes around the Ding. These were available
in 45 different tunings, and PANArt produced nearly
4000 of them. The Mk 2 is basically the same shape
but has a brass coating on the top as well as around
the rim. The Mk 2 comes in only five different
tunings and has only seven notes around the Ding. It
is a more sturdy design, stays in tune better over
time, and has a slightly longer and purer ring. We
have recorded an example of each Hang Drum for this
sampled instrument.

The Kontakt 2 Hang Instruments

The Soniccouture Hang Instruments feature over 1000
samples per drum, with up to 21 velocity layers. The
Hang drums have been sampled in 6 different areas
Gu, Ding, Outer Ding, Tone field Centre, Tone Field
Edge, and in between the Tone field. Each area was
sampled being played with Finger, Slap and knuckle,
which is triggered by key switches. Each hit has up
to 3 alteate round robin versions, to ensure there
is no machine gun effect.

We have presented our Hang Drums in their original
keys. This can be quickly transposed using the drop
down menu on the front panel of the instruments.
There is also a full chromatic mapping included , as
well as a choice of different key mappings to suit
different playing styles.

The KSP Hang Jammer

Built into each Soniccouture Hang Instrument is the
Hang Jammer script a generative patte sequencer.
This fantastic real time peformance tool randomly
builds on the notes you play to create organic,
evolving sequences from the Hang. The acompanying
Tweak page means you can Jam and create soundscapes
using the delays, filters and reverbs built into each
instrument. Soniccouture Hang Drum is a unique and
evocative sampled instrument that will bring
indefinable atmosphere to all kinds of music
production, from Film scores to IDM to Song Writing
to Trance to World Music, there is no genre that
cant be touched by the Hang.
