Unleash a world of metallic resonance with the Soundiron Hopkin Instrumentarium: Metaltines. An innovative creation by master instrument inventor Bart Hopkin, this Kontakt instrument plugin offers a unique collection of metal lamellaphones that mesmerize with their shimmering, resonant tones. Comprising four distinct instruments—Mallet K1 & K2, Sit or Play, and T-Rod-on-Tine—Metaltines captures the imaginative spirit of acoustic artistry, delivering a rich palette of sounds that range from bassy resonance to swirling overtones.

The Mallet K1 & K2 features large, wide metal keys that produce a distinct clangy soundscape when struck with mallets, perfect for highlighting overtones. Meanwhile, Sit or Play offers a delightful twist by embedding circular steel tongue drums into benches, leveraging the furniture's resonance to enhance the tonal character. T-Rod-on-Tine, with its ingenious assembly of hardened-steel rods and spring-steel tines, offers a diverse array of sounds through various striking methods, from rubber mallets to finger plucks.

Soundiron has meticulously sampled these instruments, providing dual stereo mic positions and an expansive selection of custom FX presets. Dive into a creative universe with ambient textures, pads, and drones, all while enjoying the intuitive interface that offers extensive control over articulation, layering, and modulation. Perfect for composers seeking to infuse their music with bespoke, metallic timbres.
