Blues Harp Sound Font .sf2
Hello,
can somebody give me a suggestion on where to down-load a decent blues harp sound font in .sf2 format?
There are probably plenty on the web, but why should I not ask for your kind advice before searching myself?
Thank you very much,
Razvan
Hello Winslow,
don't judge me too hard! I never intended to offend any real harmonica player, including myself, by trying to replace him with a digital sample.
What I was trying to do:
I have a digtal piano here that I use to loop the prominent chord progressions in background while I practice AAAs and AABs with the harp in front of it. I know, there are many much better solutions, but I happen to have this great piano, I like using it and enjoy doing so, much more than I would like a PC program or a dedicated loop device. I could also record myself and play the recording back with a looping device of some sort. Call me old fashioned, I plead guilty, but my piano and I are good friends and I did not want to boot yet another device while practicing: us two and the harp between us is fine enough.
And I was thinking of leting the piano play behind or in front of me me in .sf2 harp tones.
But it does not have to be: I can perfectly let the piano loop the instruments he already has; plenty of them galore! Just wish I had a harp sound font among them all. But if I think hard, I could create a .sf2 file from my own playing myself... No, just kidding! Not wanting to go that far.
I will stick with what I have and please do know, that I have taken your advice to heart and thank you very much!
Yours friendly, Razvan
I've never heard a harmonica sound font that sounded any good - they were usually sampled from non-players trying to breathe through a harmonica. Any why use one anyway? Fake harmonica parts always sound stupid to harmonica players and potentially shut out real players from opportunities.
