Brendan Power & Alternative Harmonicas Forum

What about this: a slide harp with some standard tuning (e.g. Solo, PowerChromatic) in one layer, but then pushing the slider opens up both layers, with the second layer being tremolo or octave of the first layer?

Is it possible to have the recent nuisance posts by "govindar" removed?

Note that in the flat-slide version (above), both layers have three possible draw-bends per octave. Compare this with PowerChromatic, which has four, and with Solo and Classical, each of which have two.

... and/or create MIDI files!

I seem to recall that currently there are algorithms that convert piano recordings to MIDI files. I am not a programmer or a sound engineer, but I would guess that some of the code could be transferable.

In the 80s and 90s we talked a lot about "multimedia" because technology was making it more accessible -- for creation and consumption. Now we take for granted that text, graphics and audio can be combined for more powerful experiences. Here are some superb example of this. https://youtu.be/uADNbTnJ...

I am more surprised than I should be -- and strangely delighted -- that this works both ways ....

I offer this discussion even though I am not sure if the idea is useful. This Forum’s many experienced and insightful members might see possibilities that I am missing. I feel compelled to share this idea because I am surprised and intrigued by what I found when I applied my Chromatic with Offset To...

I will be in Memphis the first week of October, 2022. If anyone there would like to discuss or try out this tuning, PM me.

Winslow, I understand your point. In fact, Brendan and I and others had a detailed discussion on this very topic about a year ago. I have seen many tuning diagrams since I started learning such things fifty years ago. Most of the diagrams that I have seen, including the Configurator at Seydel, are s...
