GrandThrift autoHarp²

GrandThrift autoHarp² is what happens when you mate a tiny autoharp with a full sized grand piano. She's an impossible hybrid instrument with four different string layers that create unique pianoish, plucky, autoharpy sounds.

This strangely beautiful offspring weighs in at a fairly hefty but graceful 380MB and contains 4 separate and individually adjustable layers of multi-velocity samples from every note of both instruments.

Features include:

• 4 different instrument articulations: picked autoharp, palm muted autoharp, binaural autoharp, binaural plucked grand piano.
• Every note multisampled with up to 4 velocity levels.
• Advanced architecture with automatable control of volume, octave tuning, pan, volume envelope, tremolo and delay per voice.
• 69 specially created convolution reverb impulses recorded from real spaces, expensive hardware, and some less obvious sources including a Roland Space Echo, Lexicon reverb and the stage of Glyndebourne opera house.
• Leslie effect, cabinet modelling and morphing EQ.
• Selectable and adjustable release group.
• Round robin sample swapping for extra realism.
• MIDI timing jitter for even more realism.
• 19 "starter" presets in Kontakt 4 and 5 format.
• A charming hand drawn manual.
