The Soundiron Waterharp v2.0 is a deeply multi-sampled percussion and effects library that captures the heart and soul
of the waterphone. This unique instrument is a brass vessel with a hollow water chamber and a long neck, adorned with
vertical brass tines. Played by strumming, striking and bowing the tines, it creates darkly harmonic or dissonant tones
and textures. It's most often used in suspense and horror soundtracks and sound design as a dramatic sound effect tool.





Waterharp 2.0 has been completely redesigned from the ground up for Kontakt 5.1. The brand new UI includes automatable
Attack, Release, Edge, Filter, Vibrato and Convolution reverb with 30+ custom halls, rooms and special FX impulses. We’ve
optimized presets to put each category right at your fingertips, with easy articulation menu loading.





We’ve also rolled our Arpeggiator system into every tuned and strike percussion preset, with plenty of mode, sequencing
and time signature options. The effects presets now feature dynamic waveform display, with real-time playback and offset
cursor. Hear the library like never before, with fully remastered and restored 24-bit / 48kHz sample resolution. We also
added a new range of deep ambiences, synths and sound-designed atmospheres, all hand-crafted from the original instrument
source.





Using different mallets, sticks, metal rods, fingers and palms, bows and even voices, we explored every nuance and hidden
musical potential of this instrument. We recorded it both empty and full of water. We even recorded it from the inside out
using hydrophones (underwater microphones), while being cooked over open flame and while filled with machine screws. And
finally, we created a wide selection of ambient soundscapes, pads, drones, ambiences and atmospheres using the recordings
and all manner of creative sound design techniques to take this library to the next level.
