Impact Soundworks Highland Harps

Impact Soundworks has released Highland Harps, a new Plectra Series sample library featuring a collection of stringed instruments.

Continuing our Plectra Series of plucked, picked and strummed string instruments from around the world comes this collection of traditional folk harps!

Featuring the lyre, lap harp, and celtic harp, this KONTAKT 4 sample library evokes images of the Irish countryside, Appalachian splendor, tall tales and a heart mug of mead beside a crackling fire. The intimate, close-miced sound is ideal for traditional, folk, medieval and Renaissance music as well as modern scores in any number of styles.
