Samantha Ballard Harp VST

$29.00

The harp I couldn't find—so I made myself.

"This harp is brilliant. IMO better than most harps that are triple the price tag. Well worth checking out!"
— Tristan Noon

After buying countless harp VSTs, I still couldn’t get the sound I wanted.
Too noisy. Too plucky. Too loud.
With every new library, I got more frustrated—until I finally decided to call up a real harpist and make one from scratch.

This is the result.
In collaboration with Samantha Ballard, we created the harp I always wished existed: intimate, noise-free, dynamic, and beautifully playable.

(Note: This VST only works with the paid version of Kontakt—Kontakt Player will run in "demo only" mode.)

What’s Included:

  • Full 6.5-octave range, recorded with a close stereo mic pair (Aston Spirit + Neumann KM 184)
  • 180 samples across 4 crossfaded velocity layers per note
  • Noise-treated, EQ-matched, and volume-balanced for a clean and even tone
  • Custom UI for controlling velocity curve and strength (designed by Eric Belvin)

I use this harp on nearly every project, and it's now an official weapon within John Powell's production team, 5CatStudios—heard here:

"I actually downloaded this and put it in my autoload for this new score I’m doing. I like it as it has got a very close “celtic” feeling to it, which is exactly what I needed to get some of these demos working."
—Batu Sener, 5CatStudios
If you want a harp that's intimate, expressive, and present—I think you’re going to love this.

Product Requirements:
• Kontakt 6.7.1 or higher (full version—NOT Kontakt Player)
• 400MB of disk space
• 20MB RAM when loaded
