Details

The library includes a comprehensive set of articulations, all sampled chromatically, with up to four round robins and three dynamic layers for each articulation. The close capture technique ensures that the intimate timbre of the harp is preserved, while also retaining key and mechanical details. The sampling process involved a UK-based musician, Jordi Francis, who performed the harp, allowing for a personal touch in the sound.

In addition to the harp, the library features a vocal component with two octaves of common syllables and 240 individual phrases, expanding its versatility. The samples were recorded with small diaphragm condensers to capture the nuances of the harp while maintaining a clean room tone. This thoughtful approach to sampling results in a library that can effectively support both lyrical and atmospheric compositions.
