I listened to this album 30 years ago several times.


But I didn't have a GR55 then.... :D
I've tried a patch ..could be improved..
Who has already made his/her ideas about a good  VOLLENWEIDER harp patch?
..and perhaps of the background sounds--?
THX for replies.

I did this short piece for my 2010 solo CD using a modified Vollenweider patch on the VG-99:

It's basically a COSM nylon guitar model with the guitar tuned from low to high:
-12, +5, -12, +5, +5, -5

I have a little delay and chorus on my particular patch.

I loved Andrea' unique re-imagining of the harp bringing it into the 21st century....

With regards to the GR-55 - if you go to the alternate tuning menu then select custom tuning "user" at the bottom of the list there should be tuning options for each string (your mileage may vary, I don't actually have a 55 yet but looking at the info I see it appears this is the case).

Try it!

THX for the tipps. BTW very nice songs on your website! Did you record them all with your VG99 and GR55?

No GR-55 was used - most of the music was tracked with the 99 and tracks that had overt synthesizer keyboard were actually played on keyboard synthesizers but most of the new stuff is all VG-99, even the stuff that sounds like keyboard synthesizer.
