The pedals, from left to right, are D, C, B on the left side and E, F, G, A on the right. The seven pedals each affect the tuning of all strings of one pitch-class. The mechanical action of the pedals changes the pitches of the strings. Pedals for harp tuning were first introduced in 1697. The tip of a string is shown in blue, points in contact with the string are shown in red, and points not in contact with the string are in green. Pedals Pedals of a harp The action of the wheels in the pedal system to change the pitch of a string. The total tension of the strings on the soundboard is roughly a ton (10 kilonewtons). The lowest strings are made of copper or steel-wound nylon, the middle-lower of catgut, and the middle to highest of nylon, although more or all of the strings may be gut. The D, E, G, A, and B strings are normally colored white, while the C strings are colored red and the F strings either black or blue. The body of the harp consists of a straight upright pillar, sometimes adorned with a crown at the top a soundboard, which in most harps is pear-shaped with additional width at the bottom, although some older instruments have soundboards that are straight-sided but widening toward the bottom a harmonically curved neck containing the mechanical action made up of over 1,400 parts and a base with seven pedals. This is particularly important in the harmonically complex music of the Romantic period and later 20th-century classical music.Ī pedal harp typically stands about 1.8 m (6 ft) high, is 1.2 m (4 ft) deep, and 55 cm ( 21 + 1⁄ 2 in) wide at the bass end of the soundboard. In this type of harp the pedals alter the pitch of the strings, so that the pedal harp can easily play works written in any key. ![]() It typically has 47 strings with seven strings per octave, giving a range of six and a half octaves. ![]() It may be played solo, as part of a chamber ensemble, or in an orchestra. The pedal harp (also known as the concert harp) is a large and technologically modern harp, designed primarily for use in art music. I also have a stereo jack lead with a toggle switch on one end into the foot switch socket on the.Problems playing this file? See media help. The foot switches on the QC are so easy to operate by hand unlike the V元 X. I have the QC, V元X, OC5, B9 pedal and Focusrite all wired together in a large case or box and I operate the foot switches by hand as I sit on a stool and play the drums live with Drumtech Fat pedals. I even use a compressor to duck the GTR volume when I sing using the vocals on the side chain. MainStage allows you to use high end Fx on the channels. I also have a Boss OC5 octave down bass ( as it allows you to chose the range of the notes effected) on a MainStage Chanel and an electro harmonics B9 using a row on the QC I also have a MainStage channel for a harp. ![]() I mix the QC and the V元X by using the mixer in MainStage on my MacBook ( via a Focusrite audio interface) which also has my drum samples from superior Drummer 2 on it This way the volume of the vocal does not change if I alter the master volume of the QC I then send the vocals to the V元 via an Fx send. input 2 to a compressor eq and reverb, but I put not in use for the output. ![]() I have not in use for the output on the QC VOX line which is ( from memory ) …. I put a dummy plug in GTR out of the V元 so I don’t get the GTR processed by the V元. I send a GTR signal to the V元 X using an Fx send block as the second Fx block on Row 1 (after a noise gate )so the VL can read the chords for vocal harmonies. On the QC I have GTR to input 1 and mic to input 2 I use 2 rows for GTR, 1 for vocals and one for my electro harmonic’s B9 pedal I too found this a problem but I managed to solve it for my system. ![]()
