We’ve included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control.

This library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You have control over swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse & fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering, and so much more. The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. We've also included a wide selection of custom FX presets and plenty of our signature sound-designed ambient content, crafted from the raw acoustic source to give you complete creative freedom. We've faithfully sampled every interesting sound we could get out of these instruments, with three stereo mic positions: Close, Room, & Contact. As a result, the overtone recipes are highly inharmonic and random, varying from string to string, with highly inharmonic tone qualities. Unlike the Lyre, the weights on these strings are not placed to bring out any particular overtones. The Zither has 34 chromatically tuned main strings. The weights on the Lyre strings are carefully placed to prominently bring out an octave overtone. The Lyre has 17 main strings, as well as three additional strings that run over a narrow neck and can be fretted. Made of wood and metal, they have a richly acoustic essence that resounds brightly through each plucked note.

These handcrafted experimental instruments use small weights on the strings to alter overtone relationships and create unusual, beautiful sounds. Weighted Strings is a set of two amazing custom creations from the mind of master instrument inventor Bart Hopkin: The Weighted Lyre and Weighted Zither.
