Re: [Harp-L] sound clip - rp400 - microtrack

["Chris Michalek" <Chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the bassman patch on the the chameleon clip sounds more
authoritive because it's the the harp I used to set up the bassman
patch. (Ab Filisko) I'm thinking more and more that I need to set up
separate patches for each harp with each having it's own EQ setting.

The "smooth jam" clip had the thinest sound because it was a Bb harp.
It could also be because it's self-modified golden melody and not a
filisko) I probably could have thickened it up with different EQ
setting.

The messing with the kid bit sounds as good to me as the chameleon
sample. (A Harp)The recorder never moved and I never touched the PA
or the RP settings.
