Orchestral Tools Berlin Symphonic Harps

There has been one beautiful, shimmering sound missing in our Berlin Series so far: The Harp.
The wait is over - we went back to the Teldex Scoring Stage to catch the spirit of this fascinating instrument. To offer even more possibilities, we recorded not one, but two enchanting, pearly Harps to enhance your Berlin Series Template.

Each Harp has its own unique sound character with a consistent set of articulations for both harps. Of course we offer both of these Harps with a lot of clever technical features:

• True Pedal Control
  Every string of the harp was recorded in its natural, sharp and flat pitch. A special U.I. within CAPSULE provides control over that feature for the user.
  This way you can easily tune the harp, just like a player can.
• Playable Glissandi Patches
  The samples of those patches were recorded with the technique used by the player to play a glissando, which is different from that of a single plucked note.
  With Berlin Symphonic Harps you can create beautiful harp glissando sounds.
• Release Damping
  For both harps, different note lengths and damping sounds are recorded and triggered within the sustain patches depending on the timing of the key releases.
  If you play very short notes you get the immediate damping of the string. If you however use the sustain pedal, the string rings out as long as you hold it.

Beside the technical features that allow to have full control over these marvelous instruments, of course this Collection also offers what the renowned Berlin Series is well known for:
A perfectly balanced sound, recorded in the famous Teldex Studio Berlin with uncompromising recording techniques.
Based on CAPSULE for Kontakt the Berlin Symphonic Harps are the perfect complement to the Berlin Series. But thanks to the generous offer of microphone positions and the many included ways to shape your sound, the Berlin Symphonic Harps are also easy to place in every other musical template.
