[Harp-L] FX processor: Foot or Hand operated

[Robert Hale <robert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The reason I chose the Korg Pandora PX4D is that I can park the little
thing beside me on a solid music stand, and TAP the tempo of the echo in
the next tune.  Many FX are foot operated and many don't have TAP TEMPO at
your feet. It's also back-lighted when needed. A student just bought one
from Ebay for $50. Sweeet. Soon, he be honkin'.

SO

When shopping a processor for harp, decide HOW you want to manage it: Hand
or Foot. I consider tap tempo ESSENTIAL,  not optional. In the studio EVERY
record considers the echo to be a calculated multiple-interval of the
primary groove. Tap tempo reinforces the rhythm, random echos clutter it.

Another reason for it being up on the stand and NOT on the floor, is to
eliminate the risk of another player stepping on it.
