Celestial Harp is a Celtic harp for Kontakt with two recorded articulations — Natural and Harmonics — and a Glow slider that transmutes the plucked sound into a soft, airy pad.

The Harmonic layer comes from the flageolet technique. Natural and Harmonic balance against each other, from a plain pluck to one with added shimmer, and the particle effect carries its own speed and dynamic range.

What kind of harpA Celtic harp. The field says it is smaller and more compact than a classical harp such as HA•PI, and that its size is why it turns up in folk and traditional music
02Host and Systemas the shop states them

Two articulations and one slider is a small specification, and the whole design rests on it. Natural against Harmonics gives the instrument its attack; the Glow slider gives it the tail. Everything on the panel after that — four knobs, three delays, three reverbs — exists to place those two against each other.
