I dont know if it only my problem or for all users of notion 3, but harp playback of small a in piano is sounds like as with small distortion. In my current composition i use lot of small a note (because i am in a minor), and this distortion is annoying. Is there any solution how to get rid of distortion?

There is a bit of noise at the end of the note, and it does not happen with the adjacent notes, so this suggests it is in the sound sample, which tends to indicate that there is nothing you can do to correct it . . .

This is the Harp in the NOTION 3 library, but there also a NOTION 2 library, and it has a Harp that does not have the noise at the end of the note, so the first thing to do is to try the Harp from NOTION 2 . . .

Miroslav Philharmonik has a nice set of harps, and SampleTank 2.5 XL has several harps, including some mellow harps . . .

Sampled sounds will vary depending on the particular instrument, musician, and recording techniques, so when you have very specific requirements it is helpful to have a collection of sampled sounds from several companies, really . . .

Really! :)
