8Dio Century Harps (KONTAKT)

8Dio Century Harps contains two separate concert harps, each carefully selected to represent a different facet in the realm of harp tones. Harp 1 is the bright, bold and shimmering Venus concert harp. This instrument can sound delicate, but also has bright high tones that can cut through and soar in your orchestral compositions.

The dynamic range of a concert harp is very broad. Harps are capable of the softest feathery pianissimo all the way up to a thunderous fortissimo. This presents a particularly difficult challenge when it comes to sampling. For us, the real magic of the harp exists in the softer dynamics.
