CineHarp is one of the most comprehensive harp glissandi and pluck sample libraries available today. CineHarp offers composers over 900 unique glissandi choices programmed in easily accessible patches.

CineHarp is the perfect addition to the film and TV composer's orchestral template and comes in Gigastudio 3.0, Kontakt 2, and EXS24 formats.

Cineharp

scalesjpgThe idea for CineHarp Glissandi came when two former USC Film Scoring students, Mike Patti and Michael Barry, had a conversation about orchestral mockups. They realised there was a plethora of excellent harp pluck samples out there, but there was a gap in the area of sampled harp glissandi. And so, CineHarp Glissandi is here to fill that gap.

With CineHarp Glissandi, you get five scale tunings in all keys:

  • Major
  • Harmonic Minor
  • Whole Tone
  • Diminished Scale
  • Half Diminished / Dominant 9

Each scale tuning was sampled in a variety of glissandi styles with mod wheel controlling the length of glissando:

  • Straight Up (Short, Medium, Long)
  • Straight Down (Long)
  • Swirled Up (Short, Medium, Long)
  • Ad Lib (Gentle up/down, Swirly, w/ nail)

In addition to all that, each glissandi style was sampled in forte and piano dynamics, controlled by velocity. The possibilites are endless!

*NEW!* CineHarp Pluck is the instrumental companion to CineHarp Glissandi, recorded in the same studio with the same harpist. It is a three layer, full ranged patch available for Kontakt 2.2+ and EXS24. It has a very warm and courtly tone, and like CineHarp it is recorded mostly dry with a touch of hall mics. This mix allows for integration with templates of all sorts.

  • "I wanted to drop you a note to say how much I have been enjoying the "CineHarp" sample library...Since there are so many choices, I have found this to be my new go-to-sound set when it comes to Harp Glisses."
    James L. Venable
    (Powerpuff Girls, Scary Movie 4, Clerks II)
  • "The CineSamples Harp Glissandi have a very live sound to them. The recording is quite detailed, but also has nice air and energy in the high end. The glisses sit surprisingly well in context with the orchestra and take well to reverb. I also really like the programming. You can load up a single patch and have access to a full set of glisses for all keys instead of loading up individual sets by key. This library stands on its own and is also a great compliment to other harp glissandi libraries. It definitely covers some new ground. It's great having both the piano and forte dyamic."

  • "Very good sound. I like the low end on the palm FX. It's also great to be able to control the gliss speeds with the mod wheel."

  • "CineHarp Glissandi is extremely flexible with its speed control, and it couldn't be easier to use. The sound fits perfectly into my mixes and lends a realism that can't be beat."
