Fall

• - Macintosh computer equipped with an audio interface compatible with Max/MSP (e.g. Motu 828mkII; Motu 896; Digidesign DIGI002; RME sound-card) to run a patch including the delay and feedback effect as well as the reverberation.
  Or
  - LFO controlled delays and feedback (e.g. PCM81 or PCM91)
  - General reverberation (e.g. Lexicon PCM81)

• 2 directional microphones.
  
• Mixer & stereo diffusion

Note: A WINDOWS patch version will be available soon. For a request of a specific patch version, please contact Chester Promotions.

Original version

• LFO controlled delays and feedback (e.g. Lexicon LXP15 or PCM81)
  
• General reverberation (e.g. Lexicon PCM81)

• 2 directional microphones
  
• mixer & stereo diffusion l/s

Notes about Amplification
The sound ideal for the amplification is a clear and rich 'close sound'. The microphones should be placed rather close to the instrument. The amount of amplification depends, naturally, on the concert space, but in this piece the amplified sound can nearly cover the acoustic sound of the instrument. The general level can be set to be rather loud, but not painfully so.

Reverberation Effect (if using the effects processors)
The reverberation used in Lexicon PCM81 is a program in which the delay time and feedback are controlled by a LFO.
The amplified harp sound should blend well with the delay sound but nevertheless remain slightly in the foreground.
A second reverberation is used to soften the amplified harp sound and the Lexicon LXP15 sound.
The parameters of the programme are reproduced below.
