Description
Unleash the mystical sounds of the Soundiron Hopkin Instrumentarium: Aquaalt, a unique virtual instrument that transports you to a world of experimental musical exploration. This innovative creation, designed by master instrument inventor Bart Hopkin, is a one-of-a-kind water lute featuring a steel bowl resonator. As you play, the lute's strings send vibrations into the bowl's flat bottom, where a small amount of water dances to produce ethereal, evolving resonances. This handcrafted hybrid of wood and metal delivers a rich acoustic palette, perfect for both traditional composition and avant-garde sound design.
The Aquaalt has been meticulously sampled, capturing its distinct plucks, bows, and glisses through two stereo mic positions—close and direct line-in. With up to 8x round robin and 6 velocity layers per note, this instrument offers an expansive array of timbres. Beyond its acoustic prowess, the Aquaalt is equipped with a versatile interface that includes an adaptable LFO system, customizable arpeggiator, and a modular FX rack, allowing for deep sound manipulation. Dive into its sound-designed ambient content and explore 27 DSP effect modules to craft your sonic masterpiece.
