    Hi, Someone knows what effect the harp has on the introduction? I've tried for a while to recreate it, but I can not find the effect

    a greeting

    Good stereo recording? Its all pushed out of the middle to make room for her vox too. Maybe a lil delay with modulated /eqd reflections. Touch of verb? You need a good stereo recorded harp I think fist then pull some of the center out of it. also the timing sounds like its dotted notes or triplets too

    To me a sounds like a dry pluck. Not necessarily a harp, but maybe a palm muted guitar. It's getting sent to a delay and the pitch of the repeats are being modulated. I can't think of plugins that can do this off the top of my head. I'll have to open up my DAW. I'm sure someone else will know.

    I think crystallizer can do this. Also Eventide makes something, but these aren't the ones I'm thinking of...I think maybe Uhbik-D

    Are you sure you're not mistaking the reverbed and faded arpeggiated sequence behind the main pluck as an effect?
    Maybe I'm missing the point entirely but it sounds to me like two (probably) more instruments. The intial pluck and then another instrument arpeggiated down. Draw a C6 chord (C, E, A) then arp it down to hear what I mean.
    You could get the pad like effect with another instrument entirely or buy using an FX bus or seperate audio track with reverb on it.

    Eos. Awesome reverb. And again, I might be completely off point here.

    Yeah dat ting. Arpeggiated and spread wide, but you're right. The bassy notes are on both sides, Im not a harp expert but....
    Now that listen again I think theres 2 harps? Playin the same arp. chords I think, just in different positions/inversions. you can hear the higher notes moving to the center. So one is flipped.

    Reason's Thor comes with such a delay (the chorus can also be pitch modulated). Plus, the effect section can be used with any audio input (not just Thor's own OSCs), so you could as well sent a sampler guitar, harp etc. through it.
