Soundiron Aeolian Fan Harp (Digital product)

Aeolian Fan Harp is a unique hand-made instrument created by Dust Bowl Guitars and sampled by Soundiron. Inspired by traditional ancient Greek wind harps, this 12-stringed non-fretted hollow body instrument incorporates a 120mm PC fan under the strings near the bridge to produce its own wind. Rather than nylon strings, it uses steel-wound strings and electric guitar pickups, giving it a sound similar to a baritone electric guitar when the fan is off. When powered on, the fan generates a lush steady drone, and bowing, scraping, or glissing the strings creates extraordinary cinematic clusters and undulating drones.

Key features:

• Steel string sustains, E-bow, mutes, and harmonics with the fan on and off
• Close stereo microphone position and direct stereo pickup line out for flexible sound mixing
• Modular FX rack with amp and speaker simulators, multi-FX, and custom convolution reverb impulses
• 20 custom sound-designed FX presets and atmospheric textural soundscapes
• Adaptable LFO system with selectable LFO shapes, modulation targets, and tempo-syncing
• Customizable arpeggiator with velocity table and control over direction, timing, swing, randomization, and duration
• Key and scale lock system for easy melodic composition and live performance

This nearly 14GB library includes 3,411 stereo samples and provides full automation-ready sound-shaping controls for creative flexibility. It requires the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later.
