Sonic Zest presents... The Kora for Kontakt [ a West-African harp ]

Kora [ a west-african harp ] - Sonic Zest: Sample Libraries and Virtual Instruments for Kontakt

I spent January working with the renowned Kora player Josh Doughty, meticulously sampling his favourite West African harp in a London studio. This is the only dedicated deeply-sampled Kora sample library available.

The Kora is a 21-string West-African harp, that has been played for centuries in Mali. When played softly it sounds like a beautiful orchestral harp. When played hard it produces a slight twangy sound evoking images of West Africa and mildly reminiscent of a guzheng. The tremolo patches are a favourite and create a fantastic stereo swarm sound.

The Kontakt instrument comes with:9 patches, including tremolo and glissando.
18 samples per note: 6x round robins and 3x velocity layers.
2 mic positions: pick-up and stereo close mics.
