大竖琴，或称为音乐会竖琴或踏板竖琴，是一种大型的现代竖琴，主要为古典音乐而设计。大竖琴是古代竖琴的后裔，比如凯尔特尼龙竖琴。在许多巴洛克和古典作曲家的演奏中，竖琴早期的管弦乐作为独奏乐器。它开始被Hector Berlioz用在交响音乐中。
大竖琴有各种音调，有6个半音阶(47个弦)，通常从C 1开始，最后以G 7结尾。最低的弦是由铜或钢缠绕的尼龙制成的，中间的下弦线，中间至最高的尼龙，或更多或全部的内脏。一如既往，我们以一种非常现实和有机的方式，高度专注于捕捉这些音符，因此我们录制了大竖琴，并在乐器周围放了几个大的冷凝器。
大竖琴出现了一种温和而温暖的感觉。这听起来很现实，也很鼓舞人心。我们将所有6个发声都包含在一个补丁中，这样用户就可以轻松快速地改变发音。你可以通过鼠标或键盘开关来实现。此外，我们还添加了混响和维持控制滑动器，以及一个小而强大的arpeggio，它有一个单独的声音选项和一个非常有用的glissando模式。最后，我们添加了一个自动速度按钮，它可以自动设置通知长度。这是非常漂亮的。
The Grand Harp or better known as Concert Harp or Pedal harp is a large modern harp, designed primarily for classical music. The Grand Harp is a descendant of ancient harps such as a Celtic Nylon Harp. The harp found its early orchestral use as a solo instrument in concerti by many baroque and classical composers. It began to be used in symphonic music by Hector Berlioz.
The Grand Harp has a wide range of tones which is six and a half octaves (47 strings) starting typically from C 1 and ends up at G 7. The lowest strings are made of copper or steel-wound nylon, the middle-lower strings of gut, and the middle to highest of nylon, or more or all gut. As always we set a high focus on capturing the notes in a very realistic and organic way, thus we recorded the Grand Harp with several big condenser around the instrument. All main articulations are provided in four times round robins and up to 5 velocity layer, recorded in stereo 24 Bit. Only the Harmonics articulation was recorded in one round robin.
The Grand Harp comes up with a very gentle and warm feel. It sounds realistically and inspiring. We have included all six articulations in one patch so that the user can easily and quickly change the articulation. You can do that either by mouse or keyswitches. Furthermore we added reverb and sustain control sliders as well as a tiny but powerful arpeggio with a separate voicing options and a very useful glissando mode. Finally we added an auto-velocity button which sets the note length automatically. This is extremely handsome.
