Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Not better as the Standard build in Native Instruments Library and therefore very expensive

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Samples are good but this is an outdated product that is not even structured as a ture Kontakt library. Makes it much harder to use than it should

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I was using the stock Kontakt Harp for so long and this is a serious upgrade. Love the different articulations and the amount of detail in the dynamics

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The sounds are incredible and the interface is easy and very user-friendly!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very crispy sounds form the harp, especially with the slide. Would recommend it for working with orchestras.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Very good. Love the option to change pedals on the main UI screen. The glissando interface has a bit of a learning curve and is not quite as intuitive as other Spitfire software, but it does sound good and can produce fine results once learned.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Innovative patches and intuitive. The samples are absolute top quality. I especially like the way the glissandi are designed, after a bit of a learning curve you can get what you want really quickly. The only reservation being that it doesn't run in a library in Kontakt which makes it inconvenient to swap in the "file" section. Still a solid 5 in my book.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

The rolls are needlessly quiet. I purchase the harp out of necessity to integrate in an existing many-tracks project, late in the process. I wanted to "upgrade" from Cineharp and finally get something better that would give me more control. This isn't it. The rolls are so ridiculously quiet that the maximum 6 dB boost in contact plus boosting the signal as much as possible in the DAW mixer is barely sufficient to have them clearly audible. If I had started the project with the harp in mind, then things would have been easier. But in the current situation, it's a lot of work to have to go and lower the levels on every single track but the harp rolls. Not as much a high end replacement to Cineharp as I'd hoped, but the main instrument is great. Just the rolls are too damn quiet for use out of the box in a digital environment and they lack control. Good choice if you don't already have Cineharp.

Best harp i have worked with. Actually a harp that sounds like an expresive harp and not some rare midi thing.

Perfect! Love it :) So natural and easy to play :)

This is a great harp sample library, and I want to reserve special praise for the "harpospheres," synth instruments built off of the samples. These are innovative and cool sounds, and truly make the library unique.
