How to isolate the harp from a recording

A harp is plucked like a guitar and laid out like a piano, and in an orchestra it is rarely loud. Its arpeggios and glissandi sit behind the strings as texture, which is why it is the instrument people ask after and cannot find.

  1. Add your recording: Drop a WAV, AIFF, MP3, M4A, FLAC or OGG.
  2. Press Isolate harp: The recording opens in the tool with the harp extractor already chosen. There is nothing to set.
  3. Download both: The harp alone, and the recording without it. The second is made in your browser, by taking the extraction away from the file you dropped.

Questions about the harp isolator and remover?

We have answers.

How do I isolate the harp from a song?

Drop the recording on this page and press Isolate harp. The harp is extracted by its own model and comes back alone, in time with the original.

Can I remove the harp from a song?

Yes. The results include the recording without it: the extraction is taken away from your file, in your browser, so what is left is everything else.

Can it find the harp in an orchestral recording?

Yes. Ask for harp by name, or let the bank listen and it is returned when it is heard.

Is it free?

Yes, to start. A free account comes with 120 credits a month, with no card needed to start, and extracting up to eight instruments from a recording is 20. Pro has 2,000 a month.

Can I get the harp part as notes?

Yes. The isolated track can be transcribed to MIDI, or engraved as sheet music.

  • Not the piano, not the guitar

    A plucked string with a long ring could be mistaken for either. The harp has its own extractor, separate from the piano and guitar ones.

  • Only when it is there

    Run the whole bank on an orchestral recording and a presence check decides what is playing before anything is returned. A piece with no harp does not come back with a silent harp track.

  • Arpeggios as notes

    An isolated harp can be transcribed, and its rolled chords come back as the notes in them, in the order they were plucked.
