Soniccouture releases Nyckelharpas: Scandinavian Keyed Strings for Kontakt Player

Soniccouture has announced the release of Nyckelharpas: Scandinavian Keyed Strings for Kontakt and Kontakt Player.

Here's what they say:

Familiar yet somehow different, the sound of the Nyckelharpa walks a delicate line. Ancient and totally modern. The nyckelharpa has its roots back in the middle ages. Literally translated the name means keyed-fiddle in Swedish. The pitch of the notes is altered by pressing a wooden key, which frets the string.

Featuring viola + cello tuned nyckelharpas, Soniccoutures' modelling dismantles the sound of this fascinating instrument, and rebuilds it with detailed user control over every element.

Details:

• Viola & Cello models.
• Bowed & Pizzicato With Anti-Repeat.
• 2 mic channels: Close, Room.
• Key noise + sympathetic resonance.
• 7GB Library | Kontakt Player compatible.

Intro Offer

Until 26th November you can get 30% off Nyckelharpas at the Soniccouture Website (£83 instead of £119).
