DAW Integration
Seamlessly switch articulations and in real-time by mapping virtual instrument expressions directly into your favorite DAW’s workflow—no key-switch memorization needed.
Adjust your instruments' envelopes to taste for the perfect performance and control them in realtime.
Custom Envelope
Sometimes you might want the harp to have a shorter sustain to suit the phrase/ composition you are working on. Scoring Harp allows for this and even lets you go back and forth to the default envelope setting with a user-definable CC.
Being able to mute notes (like a real player does with a foot pedal) and achieve all the sounds in between is amazing!
Open to Mutes
There’s a creative freedom that comes when you can play open strings and use the damper pedal to make the notes sound more muted, or completely muted. Very inspiring!
