Soundiron has announced a recent update to their Waterharp library—a deeply-sampled bowed and tuned percussion and special FX library that captures the resonant waterphone, originally developed by Richard Waters. It also offers a wide selection of creative presets, ambiences, and sound-designed pads, all with an intuitive GUI for Kontakt and Decent Sampler.
We played it with lots of different mallets, sticks, metal rods, fingers and palms, bows and even voices to explore every nuance and hidden musical potential of this instrument. We recorded it both empty and filled with water, even capturing sounds from the inside using hydrophones, while it was cooked over an open flame and filled with machine screws.
For this upgrade, they gave the user interface a complete overhaul with their flexible four-layer GUI, including powerful sound-shaping controls, per-layer LFO, filter, and arpeggiator, a modular FX rack panel with 27 different DSP effects, 20 new custom FX presets, and more.
