SOUNDIRON Aeolian Fan Harp｜Wind-Driven Steel String Zither Sample Library

A unique wind-driven zither with a built-in fan, creating cinematic ambiance and sound effects

SOUNDIRON Aeolian Fan Harp is a unique, handcrafted wind-driven zither sample library by Dust Bowl Guitars, based on the concept of ancient Greek aeolian harps. It features a built-in 120mm computer fan that generates its own wind to drive 12 steel strings and produce sound. This library was recorded simultaneously using stereo microphones and an electric guitar pickup, offering nearly 14GB of high-quality 24-bit/48kHz sound samples. It is a sample library designed for Native Instruments Kontakt, capable of creating unique sustained drones, cinematic sound effects, and textured ambient soundscapes.

Compared to traditional zither or guitar sample libraries, the Aeolian Fan Harp, with its unique combination of a built-in fan and electric guitar pickup, can produce continuous wind-driven drones and extraordinary cinematic sound effects. When the fan is off, its sound resembles a baritone electric guitar. This Kontakt library offers sound textures and imaginative possibilities for film scoring, game sound design, and experimental music creation that traditional instruments cannot achieve.

SOUNDIRON Aeolian Fan FAQ
