New features in MELODIC JAW HARPS Add-on:

One new chromatic instrument with 13 new sound presets

This new instrument lets you play the jaw harp in a melodic way, like a piano, over 6 octaves!

But it even gets cooler: you can fully control the jaw harp mouth overtones with the Modulation Wheel, in a fun and intuitive way.

The instrument offers quick access to 15 different jaw harps, all based on different samples and various modeling and script for the MW-controlled mouth overtones.

A mixer lets you add tongue, reeds, and frame transients to the main voice for extra realism and maximum flexibility.

A wide range of useful and inspiring sounds can be easily achieved, and an extra polyphonic patch is included, as well as 12 practical sound presets.

 

157 new samples

  • 40 new jaw harp samples (straight, long sustained samples in recorded velocity layers) 

  • 117 new transient samples in 4 categories, with up to 42 velocity layers for extra realism

All new samples were recorded on 6 new jaw harps:

  • An amazing Muaro ‘Aria’ jaw harp handcrafted by the famous harp master Dmitry Glazyrin in Siberia, Russia

  • A very special handcrafted Slovak Drumbfa that was given to me by a very kind LDLC user.

  • Two Vietnamese Dan Mois

  • Two Austrian made jaw harps

 

New bonus files

  • 10 new custom reverb Impulse Responses

  • One new chromatic instrument based on Magic Jaw Harps samples, with velocity control for mouth overtones
