SOUNDIRON Hopkin Instrumentarium: Rattletines | Handcrafted Unique Buzzing Percussion Instrument Library

A Tuned Percussion Instrument Library Handcrafted by Instrument Designer Bart Hopkin, Full of Unique Buzzes and Rattles

SOUNDIRON Hopkin Instrumentarium: Rattletines is a virtual instrument library launched by Soundiron in collaboration with instrument designer Bart Hopkin, featuring three unique handcrafted tuned percussion instruments, offering high-resolution 24-bit/48kHz stereo samples. This library is designed for music producers, film composers, and sound designers who require special, organic textures, capturing each instrument's unique rattles, buzzes, and warm resonances.

Compared to traditional Kalimba or glockenspiel sound sources, Rattletines creates unique rattles and buzzes when played by attaching metal pieces to the tines (metal reeds) or using special materials (such as hacksaw blades), offering a more experimental and organic percussion instrument sound source. In addition to the plucked sounds of the instruments themselves, this collection also includes percussive sound effects from striking the instrument bodies and supports the free Kontakt Player, allowing all creators to easily use these unique sounds from sound design master Bart Hopkin.
