Infinite Glissandos - Sampled Harp's First ProductThe very reason we decided to start sampling concert harps in 2012 was to achieve a flexibility unknown in sampled harps. The sound of the harp is undoubtedly related to the glissando technique. In the glissando technique, the harpist traces the strings with his fingers to create a dreamy, catchy sound that is unique to the instrument. With our glissando engine, glissandos can be played at any speed, in any tonal center, and in any setting that is playable on a real harp.
Using the glissando mode, only the white keys remain (since the harp has seven strings per octave), and the tuning of each string is changed by switching the pedal position via MIDI or GUI. A selection of the most commonly used tunings has been created in the right-hand section to help you quickly get the glissando you need.
Speed and Intensity
Turn on glissando mode, play the start note, then play the end note. The glissando starts immediately; press D#0 to stop or C#0 to exit glissando mode The time difference between the two notes tells the engine the speed of the glissando. The relative velocities are used to create the final crescendo and decrescendo.
