This project dates back to 2012 with my newly purchased classical guitar, however due to time constraints and insufficient equipment, it has been delayed for more than a year.
But now the time has finally come.
So what is this lib about? Playing guitar like a harp? No *no* .
It's about hitting the string in its center, or artificial center to achieve less harmonic content and thus hollower tone, which actually resembles celtic harp. There are numerous sampled nylons on the market, but this one's missing. OTG also lets you change the playing position, but even that won't replicate the tone quality, so I began a long journey towards sampling my La Patrie Concert CW the way described.
My plan is to release at least 3 volumes, Thumb, Pick and Nail.

The final release will be sampled in 3 velocity layers and 4 RR for every single tone (no borrowing), but that takes time and energy, and being recently employed in a 9 to 5 job, the time becomes a difficulty.
Rather than burying this project for another millenia, I've recorded at least a demo, with 2 RR and single layer, just to let you know how it'll sound in the end.

So enjoy

Version 1.01 (fixed tonality discrepancy from initial release):

Thank you so much for sharing your work with us

I will check your lib...

 

Pretty cool. Thanks for taking the time. I didn't know this was possible (I guess it's unplayable in real-time on the actual instrument?). I like that it's a bit 'wavy' compared to many sampled harps that have a straight, plastic tone. Also, I assume this is just the mp dynamic and others will have some more 'bite'. Here you can listen this little baby in action and in context:

Sounds pretty nice as-is. Waiting for the update.

Btw, I also found this very interesting site: http://www.harpguitars.net/history/org/hgorg.htm

Cheers.
