Hopkin Instrumentarium: Lamellophones

Hopkin Instrumentarium: Lamellophones is a compendium of 17 experimental musical instruments from the mind of master instrument inventor Bart Hopkin. We've included all of our unique Hopkin libraries released so far, plus two new instruments exclusive to this product: Cat's Face and CÍque. Made of wood and steel, each custom creation has its own organic tonal flavor, multiple microphone positions, and hundreds of ambient soundscapes created from the source content. Lamellophones includes everything you need to compose with an efficient modular 4-layer GUI and over 100 custom FX presets for instant inspiration. This product includes Tines & Echoes, Rattletines, Woodentines, Metaltines, Miago Trod, Rumba Boxes, and The U.

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 18 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 10 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.
