Dreaming?

Hello all.. I'm hoping to find some "dream like" sound FX (i.e. when someone begins dreaming like in a movie.. the harp type sounds? or fairy dust, etc) from the VSTis in X2 producer edition.. and have been turning up nothing. I've done a search using the media browser (didnt know if that would work) and also checked thru some of the presets in DimPro, and Rapture. I was hoping maybe someone with more experience using these instruments might have an idea of what might work.. or where I could find something that might be of use. I'm a geetar player and don't use those VSTi's much... THanks for your assistance...

    You could try the solo harp in dimension pro wit ha thick reverb. There is a CAL strum preset you could apply could create the desired effect.

    What he said.  Strumming the harp just roll your fingers up the keyboard.  It helps if you have waterfall keys, but not necessary.

    Or find a harpist to record.  For some reason my wife hired one for our girl's birthday party.  Twelve 12 year olds crammed into a small living room w/ a very big harp. ;-)

    for that quick and dirty one I uploaded, I actually "strummed" using the computer keyboard so it is not the smoothest. Hmmmm, my gf actually has a small harp laying about.

    Wow guys thanks... for some reason I wasnt thinking "harp" but "dream." Duh!! Awesome.. thanks for the sample suggestion.. I think that will help alot. I have a midi controller keyboard and will try that with the DimPro harp.. (or one from the GPO or Miroslav).. Thanks much all. =)

    You are very welcome. The harp works, but other chromatic string or plucked instruments may work as well or better. I just grabbed the first sound in Dim Pro I thought could work.
