Hopkin Instrumentarium: Alt Alt by Soundiron is a unique board zither with 16 strings, designed by the renowned musical inventor Bart Hopkin. This instrument features 12 strings tuned to the same pitch and 4 tuned an octave above, creating a grand, composite tone when played. The strings are positioned closely together and are played by strumming or hammering down on steel bars that control the effective string lengths, producing a rich, chorusy sound.

• Articulations: The instrument was sampled with three playing techniques: slow strums, fast strums, and hammering down.
• Mic Positions: Includes two stereo mic positions: Close mics and Pickups, providing versatile mixing options.
• Sample Details: Features up to 8x round robin and 6 velocity layers per note, ensuring a detailed and dynamic sound.
