In case you've never heard of him, try listening to his new LP "Power Spot", produced by Brian Eno and Dan Lanois. He's a trumpeter who has been very influenced by Eastern scales and intonations. He also puts his trumpet through a number of electronic gadgets so it sounds very strange but quite interesting once you get used to it. Anyway, since he plays a trumpet I had thought that to get a patch that approximated his sound, I'd start with the 3TRUMS patch. WRONG!!! If you look around a little you will find that one of the most interesting standard patches built-in to the ESQ is a patch called "HASSEL". "Gee, what a coincidence" I thought. Then I listened to the patch and thought "well, it DOES sound a little like what I want, but only a little." So I modified the envelopes and turned on the mono mode, added a little glide to approximate his technique, and came up with the following patch. Let me know what you think, Hassell fans. I think it actually sounds pretty decent, as long as you keep the range from about the octaves above and below middle C (about a 2.5 octave range here, skewed more to the right than to the left). %%Rob (I called the patch "Tibett" because until recently I was under the impression that Hassell actually played a Tibetian trumpet, which is why I thought the trumpet sounded so strange. Actually he apparently plays a normal trumpet piped through electronics, and limits himself to pentatonic scales so it SOUNDS Tibetian.)
