The Harp

I really love Pianoteq's harp. However, the only thing missing to make it sound realistic is hearing the actual finger or nail pinch in the attack.

Since the harp string is not triggered by a hammer at an invariable angle like piano instruments, its sound, although convincingly modeled, is handicapped by the absence of the initial pluck sound of the string.

Pianoteq needs a round robin system for its harps.

In its current state, we could say that the harp is triggered by a mallet system, and is more of a hybrid with the piano. It loses much of its delicate sound just because of a slight detail, though the main resonance and acoustic properties is excellently emulated.
