Genre
Cinematic
Wide and dramatic, with modal weight and slow harmony that has somewhere to go — a build you can shape with the dials and keep.
What it feels like
Cinematic is the wide one. The harmony is minor or modal and moves slowly and deliberately, and the dynamics open into big swells as you push, so a quiet bed can grow into something with real weight. Spread sets how vast it feels; intensity drives the build.
- Tempo. Its home tempo is around 90 BPM — slow and weighty, with space to breathe.
- Key. Dark minor, modal Dorian or Phrygian, or major for the key.
A cinematic loop in four moves
-
Open it on Cinematic and let it set the scene
Start with the dials low and let the slow harmony establish a mood. Cinematic rewards patience — the payoff is in the build.
-
Grow the build with intensity
Push intensity slowly and the swells get bigger and the part fills in. Pin a layer to hold a high state and the build sustains while you shape the rest.
-
Go wide with spread
Open spread for scale — the part stretches across the register and the whole thing feels larger. Pull it back in for an intimate moment.
-
Capture the peak
When the build crests somewhere you like, capture it. The loop snaps to whole bars, so the swell loops cleanly and exports in your key.
What to do with it
Reach for Cinematic when you want a trailer bed, a tension cue, or the spine of a score. Capture the build and export stems for the mix, or MIDI to re-voice with your own instruments — in your key and tempo, owned outright.
