Spitfire Skaila Kanga Harp for Kontakt

A detailed, beautiful harp library performed by London’s leading harpist, Skaila Kanga. Recorded at London’s resonant Hall at Air Studios, it has been ingeniously scripted by Spitfire‘s expert team of developers to be instantly playable.

We teamed up with leading virtuoso harpist, Skaila Kanga, to create this beautiful and detailed harp library, recorded in the resonant Hall at Air Studios. Skaila is the first call harpist in London, having played on numerous film scores, such as Die Another Day, Cold Mountain, Batman Begins, The Da Vinci Code, Harry Potter, Chocolat and The Hours, as well as session work for The Beatles, Björk, Elton John and Joni Mitchell. Coupled with Spitfire’s ability to produce and curate samples that sparkle with life, Spitfire Harp is instantly playable, making it a must have for any sophisticated media composer.

The library features multiple round robins and dynamic layers, presented in an easy to use GUI. Harp pedalling is available to make it even easier to play your own sweeps and glisses right from the keyboard — you can now set the harp pedals graphically, and just play the white notes. Alongside a stunning selection of single hit articulations, glisses are playable in every key, in the following scales: major, minor harmonic, minor melodic, pentatonic, diminished, whole tone. We have recorded full sweeps up and down, fast and slow, split the harp into four registers, and then recorded a swirly gliss, up and down. In addition, we give you an otherworldly set of ‘Harposphere’ patches – beautiful pads and textures created from our original organic recordings.
