Crocus Soundware《Liminal: Handpan Explorations》 是一款极具表现力的手碟音源库，专为 Kontakt 6.8+ 完整版本打造。它深度采样了手碟（也称为 Hang Drum）的真实演奏，包括用手指、手掌或槌敲击时产生的丰富共振与微妙细节，完整保留了这类金属打击乐器的温暖与空间感。
该音源最大的特色是内建的 Polyrhythms 引擎，它允许你通过叠加 MIDI 音符创建动态多层的节奏演奏，同时保持节奏与宿主 DAW 的精准同步。除此之外，还加入了称为 “Clusters” 的演奏样本，这类更具偶然性和有机质感的片段可用作氛围音垫，为作品带来自然、不可预测的随机美感。
每种打击方式都录制了高达 42 层力度分层，支持真实时的动态演奏响应。用户界面具备图形化交叉混音控制器与 LFO 动态控制，可让每一层音色按照节奏进行体积调制，实现渐变式的动态演奏表现。无论是用于制作冥想音乐、氛围音景还是电影配乐，这款音源都能赋予你独特的手工打击质感与灵动表现力。

Introducing LIMINAL: HANDPAN EXPLORATIONS, a library of a deeply sampled steel Handpan instrument, also known as a Hang or Hang Drum – playable using the full version of Kontakt 6.8+. This library introduces our new Polyrhythms engine, which allows you to perform evolving, tempo-synced polyrhythmic samples by simply layering MIDI notes on top of one another. The instrument was carefully mic’d in stereo in order to capture both the tonality and natural inherent reverberance of the instrument, as well as the subtle characteristics of the performer impacting the instrument with their hand or mallet.
In addition to the phrase-like Polyrhythmic samples, the library includes samples of more aleatoric and textured performances called ‘clusters’. These are intended to be used as naturalistic pads, which are well-suited to add unpredictability and creative imperfection to your composition. These add humanistic details not found in something derived from a synthetic source.
The library also includes six one-shot strike articulations, where the performer uses their hands, fingers and mallets. Each of these articulations have 42 velocity layers, capturing minute timbral variations between softer and more forceful strikes.
The user-interface allows articulations to be layered, mixed and reversed. The ‘crossfade gizmo’ allows artful blending of sound layers with intuitive color-coded controls. LFO controls can also be enabled, allowing your DAW’s tempo to dictate the modulation of an individual layer’s volume. This opens the door for tempo-synced swells and unleashes even more creative possibilities for evolving texture.
