Subject:Re: Big Dumb Question (harmonic beating) + Shameless plug

Wow, I never expected this thread to go so long. I think the answer I was looking for was
from John Fisher - the beating is masked by the slow rotor speed. That makes sense.

Thank you to all who responded - I was happy to read all of your input.

When I re-read my original post, it looked as though I thought the beating was *caused*
by the Pro3tm's fast speed - of course I know that it is inherent in the Micro BII, and not
caused by the Pro3tm. I should have worded the post differently. My apologies.

For anyone who is interested, a recording of my Micro BII/Pro3tm will be available on
iTunes on May 1st - I had the opportunity to record with The Spill Canvas (a Sioux Falls
band) - they recorded an EP with some originals and a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Gold
Dust Woman". I didn't do any elaborate playing - you can hear my Micro BII/Pro3tm
during the two chorus parts, and I used my Roland RS-5's "E. Piano 1" setting w/ phaser
and mild overdrive during the verses and outro.

I drove the Pro3tm fairly hard - you can hear some nice overdrive near the end of the
song.

Again, my playing is nothing special, but I think it adds to the song nicely. The reason I
am adding this shameless plug is because you Hammond/Clonewheel players will notice
the harmonic beating on some chords, but I don't think any non-clonewheel player would
notice or care.

Thank you to all who replied.
