Blanketfort Audio have released Melloharp, a hybrid guitar/autoharp, available as a FREE download. Donations are welcomed.
It’s a development on one of the very first Kontakt instruments Blanketfort Audio made public around 2016. Blending a nylon string acoustic guitar with a broken, rusted autoharp, that instrument was based around single samples stretched across the whole keyboard and this however, is very different.
For this version, Blanketfort Audio multi-sampled the original in 3 round robins, and 3 dynamic layers, in thirds. It’s all about 3’s.
Then, in a similar fashion to SR Drums, Blanketfort Audio ran those samples through a technics cassette deck, as well as a Sony TCM-40DV, doing the ‘dub at double speed octave up, record back at half speed’ trick. This resulted in 3 different tonal layers.
See, 3…
As opposed to making different instruments for each later ala SR Drums, Blanketfort Audio loaded all 3 layers into the same instrument so you can blend them to suit.

Melloharp is available to PC and Mac users (VST3 and AU).
