What's your opinion on the best harp library? Thoughts?
What's your opinion on the best harp library? Thoughts?
Definitely orchestral use (think John Williams except that he's a legend and I suck--otherwise pretty much the same use).For what purpose?
That's what I'm still using. I think I have 5 harp libraries and have stuck with ProjectSAM's. If I get another (one of the new ones) it'll probably be Cineharps.for new libraries, i'll personally say Cineharps and Berlin Harps. For old but still good sounding, I'll say ProjectSAM's Concert Harp.
I agree, what is the stuff you are tweaking?Kontakt factory library harp is actually pretty good with some tweaking.
Performance Samples' has a free harp with a decent wet sound
I know that feeling too mate !Definitely orchestral use (think John Williams except that he's a legend and I suck--otherwise pretty much the same use).
It also includes playable texture patches, Yes it doesn't include the core articulations but i thought more people should know about it to augment other librariesi thought that library only has gliss
I really like the Orchestral Tools Sphere Harp. It comes with a gliss patch and playable patch. 3 mics and sound almost identical to the E.T./Williams Harp sound if you mix the mics right. Great stuff...
Amazing examples. What is you favorite one? To me, Spitfire, Orchestral Tools and VSL sound the best for orchestral use.Here are a few examples of various harps:

- https://users.telenet.be/deridderpiet.be/SB_Harps_OT-Sphere.mp3 (Orchestral Tools Sphere)
- https://users.telenet.be/deridderpiet.be/SB_DoIHearAHarp.mp3 (Pianoteq) ("Do I Hear A Harp?")
Since making these examples, I've bought the Chocolate Audio Harps too, and I find them among the best, but I haven't made any demo files for them yet. If there is interest however, I will.
