适合所有人的流行竖琴
我们从头开始构建 Autoharp。

所以，我们这里有一个新设计的 Autoharp，它有许多新的发音和巨大的可能性。它是一种完美的乐器，可以为您的音乐赋予微妙的突出形状。

什么是自动竖琴？
Autoharp 是 19 世纪末由费城的德国移民 Charles F. Zimmermann 发明的。它是一种弦乐器，尽管它的名字，Autoharp 并不是竖琴。事实上，这件乐器是一把有弦古筝，有 36 根钢弦伸展在一个音箱上。它有一系列和弦杆，当被按下时，除了那些形成所需和弦的弦之外，所有弦都静音。通过这样做，您可以轻松演奏和弦。它是一种完美的乐器，可以为您的音乐赋予微妙的突出形状。

第 3 版
我们的最新版本 Autoharp 版本 3 不仅仅是旧版本的更新。相反，我们几乎重新录制了所有内容，替换了旧声音，并在 Autoharp 3 中实现了一系列新功能。因此，现在您可以发出更逼真的声音并获得更复杂的结果。

我们以五种不同的发音方式录制了 Autoharp 的 36 根弦中的每根弦，以创建各种声音组合。有四种弹拨发音（手指、锤子、静音、复古），我们用小提琴弓向 Autoharp 鞠躬。弓形的发音会产生一种特殊而独特的声音，例如，您可以将静音的声音添加到弓形的声音中。

主要目标是模拟 Autoharp 的典型弹奏。为此，我们专门开发了一种新的弹奏引擎。在步进音序器中，您可以决定每一步是要弹奏音符还是要弹奏带有死音符的 Autoharp。当然，所有这些都可以动态编程。但是为了实现这种典型的自动竖琴弹奏感觉，我们包括了一个弹奏速度控制，它决定了单个弹奏应该以什么速度发生：从完全量化到几乎滑音。这正是创造了一个非常逼真的自动竖琴伴奏印象的原因。

此外，我们还应用了 Grand Harp 的独特滑音功能和 Cinematique Instruments 已知的颤音。

这就是你得到的
有机声音
我们专注于以非常真实和有机的方式捕捉笔记。我们在四个循环和三个速度层中用凉爽的冷凝器记录了所有主要关节。

滑音
给定的滑音模式是独一无二的，非常适合 Autoharp 的声音。

弹奏引擎
这个非常逼真的弹奏伴侣提供弹奏音符和死音符。一个独特的功能是 Strumming Speed Slider，它可以模拟手的速度。

八种混响类型
除了几种不同的混响尺寸外，您还可以获得特殊类型，例如“Infinite”和“Ghost”。

许多关节
我们录制了许多不同且独特的发音，为您提供广泛的声音可能性。它们中的每一个都对不同类型的音乐风格很有用：
– 手指：用手指拨弦
– 锤子：用钢琴锤子演奏
– 复古：来自以前版本的 Autoharp 的遗产
– 静音：使琴弦静音 – 非常酷和拨弦
– 鞠躬：用小提琴弓向 Autoharp 鞠躬
– Strummed/Dead Notes：特别录制以获得弹奏 Autoharp 的感觉

THE POP HARP FOR EVERYONE
We built the Autoharp from scratch.

So, we have here a newly designed Autoharp with many new articulations and vast possibilities. It’s a perfect instrument to give your music a subtle highlighted shape.

WHAT IS AN AUTOHARP?
The Autoharp was invented at the end of the 19th century by Charles F. Zimmermann, a German immigrant in Philadelphia. It is a stringed instrument and, despite its name, the Autoharp is not a harp. In fact, this instrument is a chorded zither with 36 steel strings stretched over a soundbox. It has a series of chord bars that, when pushed down, mute all the strings other than those that form the desired chord. By doing so, you can easily play chords. It’s a perfect instrument to give your music a subtle highlighted shape.

THE VERSION 3
Our latest version, Autoharp version 3, is more than just an update of the old version. Instead, we’ve re-recorded almost everything, replaced old sounds, and implemented a whole host of new features in Autoharp 3. So now you can sound even more realistic and achieve more complex results.

We recorded each of the 36 strings of the Autoharp in five different articulations to create various sound combinations. There are four plucked articulations (finger, hammer, muted, vintage), and we bowed the Autoharp with a violin bow. The bowed articulation creates a special and unique sound, and you can, for example, add the muted sounds to the bowed one.

A primary goal was to simulate the typical strumming of the Autoharp. For this, we have specially developed a new strumming engine. In a step sequencer, you can decide per step if you want to play a note or not or if you want to play the Autoharp with dead notes. Of course, all this can be programmed dynamically. But to achieve this typical autoharp strumming feeling, we included a strumming speed control that decides at what tempo the individual strumming should occur: From fully quantized to almost glissando. And this is precisely what creates a very realistic impression of an autoharp accompaniment.

Furthermore, we have also applied the unique glissando function of our Grand Harp and the tremolo known to Cinematique Instruments.

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET
Organic Sound
We focused on capturing the notes in a very realistic and organic way. We recorded all main articulations with a cool condenser in four round robins and three velocity layers.

Glissando
The given glissando mode is unique and perfectly fits the sound of an Autoharp.

Strumming Engine
This very realistic strumming companion provides strumming notes and dead notes. A unique feature is the Strumming Speed Slider, which simulates the speed of the hand.

Eight Reverb Types
Besides several different reverb sizes, you get special types such as “Infinite” and “Ghost”.

Many Articulations
We recorded many different and unique articulations to give you a broad spectrum of sound possibilities. Each of them is useful for a different kind of musical style:
– Finger: Plucking the strings with fingers
– Hammer: Played with a Piano Hammer
– Vintage: Heritage from previous versions of the Autoharp
– Muted: Muting the strings – very cool and pizzicato alike
– Bowed: Bowing the Autoharp with a violin bow
– Strummed/Dead Notes: Specially recorded to get the feel of strumming the Autoharp
