Experience the ethereal magic of the Soundiron Hopkin Instrumentarium: Icicles & Pop Ice, a Kontakt Instrument that captures the delicate beauty of two unique string instruments. Crafted with precision, these instruments deliver a bright, crystalline tone, born from their short, highly tensioned strings and a rigid stainless-steel sheet soundboard. The magic lies in how the soundboard, suspended from the strings, creates a long, shimmering reverberation that enriches each note with depth and complexity.

Icicles features 26 short string segments in harmony with the stainless-steel sheet, delivering a pure, evolving sound with every pluck. Meanwhile, Pop Ice introduces a thin Styrofoam sheet, adding a sharp, percussive pop that contrasts with the sustained resonance of the steel. This library captures the full sonic spectrum of both instruments, providing three main articulations: pluck, percussive strikes, and glisses.

Designed for the full version of Kontakt, this library offers two microphone perspectives, up to 8x round robin, and 6 velocity layers per note. Unleash your creativity with 20 custom FX presets and atmospheric sound design content, along with a suite of sound-shaping controls for ultimate flexibility. From the adaptable LFO system to the modular FX rack panel, create new worlds of musical possibilities with ease.
