Key click noises, both "up" & "down". Plectrum picked version with 2 velocity levels. 47 unique "clicks", "knocks", "hits" & "scrape" noises.

The complete SampleSet contains 289 individual 24 bit Stereo WAV samples & 11 programs each for HALion 1.* & NI Kontakt 1.2.

Now updated with 4 16bit SoundFont programs; "PS Keyharp Gliss", "PS KeyHarp Noises", "PS KeyHarp Plektrum" and "PS Keyharp Sus" and a special Kontakt 2 legato program combining the sustain and gliss samples for modulation control between the two articulation.

"I got interested in Precisionsound some time ago when I started looking for non-traditional instruments to spice up my tracks. Immediately I fell in love with their Swedish Keyharp. To this day, this has to be on of
my favorite instruments. The Swedish Keyharp (as anyone can hear from the demo on the Precisionsound site) is in a league unto itself. I just love this instrument."
