Lottie Canto Colour Palette - Electric Kalimba Demo w/ Effects Pedals

The dangerous thing about your channel is how often it makes me want expensive toys. Love the Colour Palette and how you used it!

Hahaha..... So true..... I rushed straight to Lottie's website but he's out of stock atm.... Still, at least this is a little more affordable that an $18,000 electric harp. 😆

The Minecraft composer (Daniel Rosenfeld, not that corporate wannabe Raine) actually had a phenomenal album called "One", that's like 80% kalimba and ambient sounds. A wonderful experience, i really recommend you to check it out.

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks so much!!! I play my electric harp through all of them (and more) on the rest of my channel if you haven’t seen yet!

Now this is something truly cool. Effects and instrument all in one in a portable device and no LCD screen to worry about damaging.

[@emilyharpist]

Right?! One of my favorite things is the durability. This things gonna last forever 😂

Wow this is not just a demo of the Lottie Canto kalimba but 10 boutique effect pedals as well!

[@jeffwatson7081]

This video is amazing, I had no idea they had electric kalimbas out there

[@emilyharpist]

They’re not too common! A lot of them are regular kalimbas with contact mics attached but this is something new entirely (to me at least!!)

[@AnnaCurser]

i didnt know this existed. im glad that it does.

[@emilyharpist]

Right?! Once I found out about it, I had to get my hands on one. It's so much fun and it's so great because anybody can play it. A lot less intimidating than picking up a harp 😂

[@mpmansell]

Would be interested to hear this played through a Korg NTS-1 effects chain. I've had some interesting results with my uke bass so would expect similar with the kalimba.

[@eddierayvanlynch6133]

And uke bass and kalimba sounds like an excellent combo. Rock on 🤘😎

[@parasitelights3158]

Every thing sound interesting through nts-1, even more through two.

[@MelodiousIllumination]

Wow you made the Slö sound so nice. And the Yellow Shimmer at 8:57 was next level. Reminds me of some snowy N64 vibes

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks!! I love Slö so much, I haven't had much stuff to use it for lately, so I was more than happy to break it out for this 😂 AND YES THAT SHIMMER THOUGH!! Probably my second favorite mode on this! (I just love the repeating delay so much)

[@jaderene]

Wow!!!! I don’t even know you, but you’re a huge inspiration to me already, I just came from your blog and the article “Fear of Failure”, really encouraged me to really come to terms of why I make excuses and it’s because I’m lazy, moments of creativity, sparks happen to me a lot and I just push the memory aside and I’ll tell myself that I will get to it later... no more excuses, I’m going to do something creative right now!
