Hopkin Instrumentarium: 2+2+1

Soundiron’s 2+2+1 captures a unique 14-string acoustic zither with multiple bridges that split each string into three segments, producing rich sympathetic resonances and octave relationships. Sampled in two mic positions (Close and Pickups), it offers open and damped plucks plus harmonic and atonal glisses, with up to 8x round robin and 6 velocity layers. The damped articulations add percussive attack with a natural reverb tail from adjacent strings. Ideal for film scoring, ambient textures, and organic sound design, this Kontakt instrument suits producers seeking warm, woody, and chorusing tones. The GUI provides automation-ready controls for swell, attack, release, filter, pitch, and more, plus 20 ambient pads and custom FX presets. Perfect for adding a distinctive acoustic layer to your music.
