Hopkin Instrumentarium: Alt Alt from Soundiron is a creation from the mind of musical inventor Bart Hopkin: a board zither with 16 strings, 12 of them tuned to the same pitch and 4 tuned to the octave above. The idea is to sound all 16 strings at once to produce a single grand resonance. The tone is chorusy and lush, with a full, swelling presence.
Alt Alt was recorded 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 eight round-robins and six velocity layers per note, you'll be swimming in lush timbres in no time. There's also a wide selection of custom FX presets and plenty of sound-designed ambient content crafted from the raw acoustic source to give you complete creative freedom.
