Hi Simone, sounds gorgeous. How long does the into offer go for?
Hi, it runs until Dec. 18th.

FIY we just updated Glissando Concert Harp to v. 1.5 addressing most of the user-requests here + bug fixes + other features we were already working on:
Glissando
  • Change Glissando Mode on-the-fly using Black Keys (F#0-G#1)
  • Change Glissando Direction using A#1
  • Optionally Stop/Quit Glissando Mode when releasing MIDI Keys (Glissando Settings)
  • Optionally use a MIDI CC# of your choice to start and stop glissando (Glissando Settings)
  • Set Glissando volume offset (Glissando Settings)
  • maximum speed of glissandos raised
Pedals
  • Move Pedals via MIDI (C0-B0), now in 2 ways (via Preferences):
  • Programming - Absolut: velocities 1-40 "#", 41-80 "Nat.", 81-127 "b"
  • Performance - Relative Mode (v. 1.0): playing harder than a user-set velocity will move the pedal to a "sharper" position, playing softer will move to a "flatter" position
  • Pedal action on GUI is now reversed like on a real harp (flat > up, sharp > down)
  • Pedal order reflects the one on a real harp (D C B E F G A)
  • Set the level of Pedal noises in the Articulations page and optionally disable them completely
Tonal Centers / Modes - Chords
  • use MIDI CC#74 to set Tonal Centers
  • use MIDI CC#71 to set Modes - Chords
Various bug-fixes
Updated in-line Help


New buyers get v. 1.5 straight away.
Former customers: look for an email in your inbox now.

Thanks.

Simone
 
there's no tempo sync as of now. We evaluated it, but we decided it was more important to have a belieavable glissando rather than a tempo-forced one. But using the acceleration + start_note-end_note delta time + speed via PitchBend you can basically achieve any tempo, accelaration etc...
