Soniccouture – Kim (KONTAKT)
The Kim is a type of dulcimer or zither from Thailand, related to the Chinese yangqin. The instrument consists of a flat body with 42 metal strings stretched in 14 rows of 3 strings each. The strings are set in vibration by two thin bamboo hammers with soft leather tips.
The Kim is a quiet instrument and is often played with a tremolo. Since it has no damping mechanism, the strings are free to resonate until they naturally fade away, which creates a ghostly background echo during performance. The instrument is used both in solo playing and in ensembles.
The control panel includes tone controls, a reverse button, modules for realistic tremolo and fingerpicking.
