Bowed Harp is a sample library for Kontakt 5. It features samples from an autoharp played with a pick and an EBow. The autoharp is a string instrument similar to a zither. The EBow is a battery-powered electronic device for playing string instruments (like an electric guitar), producing a sound reminiscent of using a bow on the strings. Bowed Harp lets you mix these two sources to create unique plucked and pad sounds. Both sources also feature a selection of 12 impulse responses (4 reverbs, 4 cabinets, 4 effects) to further mangle the sounds.

Kontakt Player will run a demo version of AudioThing libraries for a limited time (and with limited editing functions). We recommend a full retail version of Kontakt 3, 4, or 5 (depending on the library).
As 99% of third party developers, our libraries will not show in the Libraries Tab. The Libraries Tab is designed to work exclusively for “Powered by Kontakt” player libraries. Since our libraries are open-format you have to open them with the Files Tab. This is done to keep our price low.
Once you have downloaded the .zip archive file of the instrument you bought, you need to unzip it using a software like WinRar (for PC) or The Unarchiver (for OSX). Just place the folder wherever you want and load the instrument(s) through the Files Tab in Kontakt.
It is better to preserve the internal folder structure, however, it is possible to place instruments and samples to separate folders/harddisks but Kontakt will ask for the new path first time you run the instrument.
