Unlock new sonic landscapes with the Hopkin Instrumentarium: Tines & Echoes, a **captivating tuned percussion instrument* crafted by the visionary Bart Hopkin. This unique pentagonal sound box features 25 chromatically-tuned metal tines, each interconnected by randomly-tuned sympathetic strings. When plucked, these tines produce crisp, water-drop notes that reverberate through the instrument, creating an ethereal, ghostly resonance reminiscent of a piano's undamped top octave.*

Designed for musicians and composers seeking innovative soundscapes, Tines & Echoes offers a seamless integration of traditional acoustics with modern digital flexibility. The meticulously sampled tine plucks and percussive hand slaps are captured with two stereo mic positions, ensuring an authentic representation of the instrument’s depth and character. With a comprehensive suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls, you have the creative freedom to manipulate swell, attack, release, vibrato, and more.

Enhance your compositions with 20 custom sound-designed FX presets and an adaptable LFO system, allowing you to explore various modulation targets and filter options. The customizable arpeggiator and key/scale lock systems provide intuitive melodic composition capabilities, while the modular FX rack offers a plethora of DSP effects, including **99 convolution reverb impulse responses. Whether you're crafting ambient soundscapes or cinematic scores, Tines & Echoes opens a world of musical possibilities.
