Play Walkthrough, the UI is from an earlier version but the features remain the same What’s Included We recorded a modern Celtic harp with a warm tone and a built in pick-up. This allowed us to create a direct input recording in addition to two stereo microphone positions. We recorded in a studio so the samples are fairly dry which will help you blend and layer them with your other instruments. Sustain The classic sound of the Celtic harp. Recorded at four velocity controlled dynamic levels. Damped A less resonant sample set providing a rounder sound that tails off a little more quickly than the standard sustains. Quick groups of three notes, as commonly used in Celtic harp music. A sound that’s difficult to simulate with individual plucked samples. Available in the middle of the key range. Triplets Split We took the triplet recordings and cut them into separate samples. Then we mapped them with a round robin behaviour so you can play the triplets with more control over their timing.

Add to Cart The traditional Celtic harp is an ancient instrument native to Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and parts of Northern France. I created this library because I love the Celtic harp’s delicate yet feisty spirit. It can be soft and gentle, bold and strong, and everything in-between. The instrument includes normal plucked samples recorded at four dynamic levels. This is the default articulation and has that quintessential warm resonant sound that is unique to the Celtic harp. For occasions when it’s desirable to have a little less resonance We also recorded a separate set of damped string samples. To create these Michaela used her hands to damp the strings around the one being plucked. Audio Demos Michaela Dorrity To create this wonderful library we spent a day in the studio with the talented Michaela Dorrity . Michaela is a musician and harp tutor, originally from Derry in Ireland, now based in England. She studied with Brenda O’Somochain in Derry, achieving Senior 4 (grade 8) in 2012. Since that time she’s been taught by Máire Ní Chathasiagh, Rachel Newton and Fiana Ní Chonaill. She’s competed in the Fleadh Irish music competition, qualifying for the All Ireland Fleadh and reaching first place in the Donegal, and Northern Region of Britain Fleadhs.
