Soundiron Waterharp是一个深度多重采样的打击乐和效果器乐器库，可捕捉水听器的灵魂。这种独特的乐器概念最初是由Richard Waters在1960年代后期开发的。水听器（也称为水竖琴）有各种形状和尺寸，但它们通常采用相同的基本设计：带有中空黄铜水腔和长脖子的黄铜器皿。室的顶部装饰有垂直的黄铜尖齿或条形。通过弹奏，敲打和鞠躬这些尖齿来演奏，这些尖齿共鸣以产生暗调和或不谐调的音调和纹理。尖齿被切成特定的长度，并布置成在绕水听器的主体缠绕时产生鳞片。向室内添加水并更改水听器的位置会极大地改变演奏乐器时产生的音高和谐
波。水室本身也可以用作打击乐器。总的来说，水听器既可以当作调音，也可以作为未调音的打击乐器，但是最常用于悬念和恐怖音轨以及声音设计中，作为一种戏剧性的音效工具。
我们用许多不同的槌，棍棒，金属棒，手指和手掌，弓甚至声音演奏它，以探索该乐器的每一个细微差别和隐藏的音乐潜力。我们记录了它空无一人的水。我们甚至使用水听器（水下麦克风）从内而外记录下来，同时在明火下煮熟并装满机器螺钉。最后，我们使用录音和各种创造性的声音设计技术，创建了广泛的环境音景，打击垫，无人机，环境和氛围，以使该库更上一层楼。

The Soundiron Waterharp is a deeply multi-sampled percussion and effects instrument library that captures the heart and soul of the waterphone. This unique instrument concept was originally developed by Richard Waters in the late 1960s. Waterphones — also commonly known as Water Harps — are found in all shapes and sizes, but they generally follow the same basic design: a brass vessel with a hollow brass water chamber and a long neck. The top side of the chamber is adorned with vertical brass tines or bars. It is played by strumming, striking and bowing these tines, which resonate together creating darkly harmonic or dissonant tones and textures. The tines are cut to specific lengths and arranged to create scales as they wind around the body of the waterphone. Adding water to the chamber and changing the position of the waterphone drastically changes the pitch and harmonics that are produced when the instrument is played. The water chamber itself can also be played as a percussion instrument. Overall, the waterphone can be considered as both a tuned and un-tuned percussion instrument, but is most often used in suspense and horror soundtracks and sound design as a dramatic sound effect tool.
We played it with lots of different mallets, sticks, metal rods, fingers and palms, bows and even voices to explore every nuance and hidden musical potential of this instrument. We recorded it both empty and full of water. We even recorded it from the inside out using hydrophones (underwater microphones), while being cooked over open flame and while filled with machine screws. And finally, we created a wide selection of ambient soundscapes, pads, drones, ambiences and atmospheres using the recordings and all manner of creative sound design techniques to take this library to the next level.
