A little time ago we sent beta versions of Gecko to some famous composer, songwriter and music producer worldwide. And we must admit they all love it! Read what they said: ...will be completed

I am incredibly excited about Gecko. I love sounds that come across as a blend of acoustic and electronic, that make the listener sit up and wonder, "What WAS that thing?". Gecko is perfect for this, and allows the composer endless possibilities to morph the sounds in real time and create things never heard before. I expect to be putting it to use soon, and often.

Producer and composer of German pop group Luxuslaerm and Yvonne Catterfeld
Gecko is truly a very inspiring and creative tool for composers as well as music producers - Gecko is a musician! You can combine, layer and edit all the special and unique sound elements, as only Cinematique Instruments can create, the way you really like to. Besides you get the Randomize! button which seems to be a very stoned guy inside Gecko who creates sounds you immediately like to write your next song with!

I really enjoyed Gecko. This is the kind of interface I like. Press a button here, pull down a fader there, and you can sculpt a sound to the way you like it. It fits perfectly with my other percussion and has just the right amount of esotericism about it. Still have a lot to explore with it, but I like it a lot, and it sounds very nicely next to the MS20 Rhythm Perc Bank which I also love.

I think there are some very interesting ideas here - my favourite parts are the soundtrack-type textures found in Complex Environs. Certainly the instrument is easy to use, and easy to tweak.

These days, more often than not, sample libraries are released that dictate to the user what can or cannot be played. This pretty much excludes the spirit of adventure for myself. What i enjoy about the Gecko libraries is the fact that one doesn't have to be satisfied only with the patches supplied. I can randonmise these Geckos infinitely and save the combinations to my palette. Happenstance can be a creative energy release for making music. These Geckos will be very useful for me to enable composers that i work with to feel new inspiration.
