This harp is brilliant. IMO better than most harps that are triple the price tag. Well worth checking out!
Most harp libraries fail in trying to cover too much ground (from orchestral to intimate) and end up doing a lackluster job in all of them. This one covers the "intimate/dry" side amazingly and the low noise floor is appreciated!
The sound and timbre is awesome! No struggle to get a quiet and delicate sound, it's super clean sounding, and I really like the velocity map and the response to it. Props for great customer service, too!
While other libraries often just have a piercing high register, this library can play very subtle up there as well. It works in full orchestra settings as well as in intimate ensembles. Definitely my new go-to harp!
Every harp VST I tried would either have too much noise floor, or would sound too "plucky". With each new purchase, I got increasingly frustrated.
Eventually, I thought, "Why don't I just make a harp VST myself?"
In collaboration with my friend Samantha Ballard, we've created my dream harp. This VST feels intimate, present, has virtually no noise floor, and is capable of incredibly quiet dynamics.
To accomplish this, Samantha mic’ed her harp as close as possible, using an Aston Spirit and Neumann KM 184 stereo pair and recording 4 dynamics (from pp to mf).
I cleaned her recordings to remove any remaining noise floor, and programmed them into Kontakt, ensuring an even bed of volumes and EQ throughout the sampler.
I hope you enjoy playing it as much as we did creating it!
Recorded with an Aston Spirit and Neumann KM 184 stereo pair, mic'ed as close as possible to avoid any noise floor.
180 noise-treated, EQ'ed, volume-adjusted samples, hand-mapped across 4 crossfaded velocity layers.
Custom UI for adjusting velocity curve and strength, designed by Eric Belvin.
