Elysium Harp
Elysium Harp features the massive Lyon & Healy bronze concert harp in exquisite detail, with extended articulation choices, like plucks, harmonics, glisses and strums, advanced controls, easy play-assist features and warm presence across the entire key range.
Elysium Harp is a 47-string grand concert pedal harp virtual instrument library, fully compatible with the free Kontakt Player and Komplete Kontrol S-Series Keyboards by Native Instruments. We recorded this massive Lyon & Healy bronze concert harp in exquisite detail, with extended articulation choices, advanced controls, easy play-assist features and warm presence across the entire key range.
We've covered classic Finger Plucks with long sustains, deep round-robin and dynamic layering for each string. We also recorded Hard Fingernail plucks, Harmonics, Xylophonics, Bass Pedal Buzzes, plus a wide collection of natural Live Glisses in 19 scales and styles by harpist Jennifer Ellis. You'll find lots of custom ambiences, pads and unique FX presets created with the harp source to open up limitless sound design possibilities. You also have access to 3 stereo mic positions (sound board, rear ports & room) to freely mix and route, plus an advanced real-time gliss and arpeggiator sequencers, instant pedal presets for easy glissing and arpeggios, precise tone and presence shaping and a full FX rack for total creative freedom.

Reviews & Endorsements
"A traditional instrument that’s engine covers every aspect...I can easily see how entire scores and tracks could be created using nothing but the Elysium Harp."
"Elysium Harp may appear to be one of their more conventional offerings, but there’s more to it than meets the eye...this is a great-sounding, deep-sampled harp with applications for many musical styles"
