Immerse yourself in a world of captivating soundscapes and eerie atmospheres with the Soundiron Waterharp, a meticulously crafted Kontakt instrument that brings the essence of the iconic waterphone to your fingertips. Originally designed by Richard Waters in the late 1960s, the waterphone is renowned for its haunting, cinematic tones, making it a staple in suspense and horror soundtracks. The Waterharp captures this uniqueness through deep multi-sampling, allowing you to explore a wide spectrum of percussive and melodic possibilities.

Soundiron has gone to great lengths to ensure every nuance of this instrument is captured. Whether strummed, struck, or bowed, the Waterharp's versatile brass tines and resonant water chamber deliver rich, dynamic sounds that can be manipulated to evoke anything from serene pads to chilling drones. The instrument library also features recordings from innovative techniques, such as using hydrophones and playing the waterphone while filled with machine screws, to craft an array of ambient soundscapes and custom atmospheres.

This library is not just about reproducing traditional waterphone sounds; it's designed to take your compositions to new heights with an upgraded user interface for Kontakt 6 and Decent Sampler. Easily navigate through optimized presets to find the perfect articulation for your project, from bowing and mallet sweeps to hydro-vocal drones.
