Cosmic Hand Pans

The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. You have control over swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse & fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering, and so much more.

This library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. We’ve included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance.

The interface is rounded-out by our modular FX rack panel, with 27 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 8 available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The Reverb effect includes our favorite convolution reverb impulse responses, including 99 different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, plus another 40 custom FX impulses to radically transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility. We’ve added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started!

Hapi Drum is owned and operated by partners Grahm Doe & Tricia Kelly. They also own and operate The Didgeridoo Store since 1997, with over 19 years of combined experience in the musical instrument marketplace. Their mission is to enhance peoples' lives through music and culture. The passion for steel instruments began with the purchase of their first Hang. The beautiful sound of steel was captivating. With their previous experience of creating musical instruments (didgeridoos), they began experimenting with steel. They discovered Dennis Havlena and his research on using steel tongues to create a similar kind of sound. Inspired by his proof of concept they set out on a prototyping journey. They began to experiment with tongue shapes, drum body sizes, sound ports, dampening materials, and different steel types. After months of work they had their first design, the HAPI Origin. They are always excited to improve and evolve our product line!

Grahm and Tricia both love nature and going for hikes in and around Yosemite National Park. They are deeply attracted to instruments that can be enjoyed in the outdoors and around a campfire with family and friends. In their spare time, Grahm is an avid rock climber and Trish plays with glass (stained, fused, torch). Both these creative outlets have taught them a great attention to detail, which they use daily in running their business.
