Soundiron releases "Hopkin Instrumentarium: Alt Alt" for Kontakt with Intro Offer

Soundiron has announced the release of Hopkin Instrumentarium: Alt Alt. This library is the next chapter in their collaboration with instrument builder, Bart Hopkin. It's built for the full version of Kontakt 6.2.2 or later.

Soundiron Says:

We've faithfully sampled every interesting sound we could get out of this zither, with two stereo mic positions: Close mics, and Pickups. Hammer down, fast strums, and slow strums are available in all four layers to easily mix and match. With up to 8x round robin and 6 velocity layers per note, you'll be swimming in lush timbres in no time. We've also included a wide selection of custom FX presets and plenty of our signature sound-designed ambient content, crafted from the raw acoustic source to give you complete creative freedom.

This library features 16 strings, producing a grand natural chorus with 12 tuned to the same pitch and 4 to the octave above. Its keying mechanism strikes the strings simultaneously, and was inspired by instruments like akkordia, bulbul tarang, and taishogoto, as well as nyckelharpa and hurdy-gurdy.

With sampling of slow strums, fast strums, and hammering techniques, Alt Alt offers a distinctive, organic sound.

Intro Price: $29 until June 11th, 2024 (Reg. $39).
