About
The Hopkin Instrumentarium: Alt Alt by Soundiron is a unique orchestral sample library showcasing the extraordinary tones of a 16-string board zither. Recorded in meticulous detail, this instrument produces a rich, shimmering composite tone when all strings are sounded simultaneously. The player presses down on a row of 36 chromatic steel bars to change the effective string lengths, allowing for expressive, evolving textures. With its distinctive, atmospheric character, Alt Alt excels at creating cinematic pads, intricate arpeggios, and dreamy, evolving chordal pads in a wide range of styles.
