Six warm articulations
The Grand Harp comes up with a very gentle and warm feel. It sounds realistically and inspiring.
We have recorded six main articulations in one patch so that you can easily and quickly change the articulation. Furthermore we added a tiny but powerful arpeggio with a separate voicing options
and a very useful and easy-to-use glissando mode which we never saw before. Finally we added an auto-velocity button whichsets the note length automatically. This is extremely handsome.
The Grand Harp or better known as Concert Harp or Pedal harp is a large modern harp, designed primarily for classical music. The Grand Harp is a descendant of ancient
harps such as a Celtic Nylon Harp. The harp found its early orchestral use as a solo instrument in concerti by many baroque and classical composers. It began to be used
in symphonic music by Hector Berlioz.
The Grand Harp has a wide range of tones which is six and a half octaves (47 strings) starting typically from C 1 and ends up at G 7. The lowest strings are made of
copper or steel-wound nylon, the middle-lower strings of gut, and the middle to highest of nylon, or more or all gut.
Please note. Kontakt 5 or higher full version is required.

Organic Playabilty
As always we set a high focus on capturing the notes in a very realistic and organic way, thus we recorded the Grand Harp with several
big condenser around the instrument. All main articulations are provided in four times round robins and up to 5 velocity layer, recorded in stereo 24 Bit.
Only the Harmonics articulation was recorded in one round robin. Finally we added an auto-velocity button which sets the note length automatically. This is extremely handsome.
