Gday

I suppose it's cheating....in a way...but I use a pitch shifter to send my
instruments up or down as much as two octaves. Didjeridus that scream like
banshees...a beautiful deep flute...even deep jaw's harps...then add some
digital delay...and harmonizing. I won't be deleted from the list will I
Grant?

All the best for the festive season.

I don't think that what you're doing is cheating. I think it's creative. One
of my favorite saxophonists, Richard Underhill, uses a couple of contraptions
similar to yours when he plays with "Astro Groove". His Selmer alto sounds as
deep and resonant (almost) as my Conn bass! Really funky and entertaining.
Keep on experimenting; you won't get stagnant that way!

Steven Lederman
