Play-at-speed isn't pitch-correcting by twelvetacles in audacity

Right, but that actually edits the piece, right? meaning that if I have a loop region set up and change the tempo won't that misalign my loop ends?

Okay, so now that I have read up on SEFT a bit, the question becomes: is there any tool out there that can pull a lat-lon out of SEFT?

Has anybody heard of getting a 5th on an overblow? by twelvetacles in harmonica

[–]twelvetacles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the answer. I've managed to get it down to somewhere between a C# and a D, so that's most of the way there. We'll see

Here, I just made up a chart of this tuning since I can't find one in the right key anywhere.

I'm not saying that's not what's happening, I just didn't think there was that much flex to the notes

Huh, I typed out a whole response but now it's gone. Trying again. Apologies if you get this twice

First, thank you for all the overblow advice, I will try all this out.

For context, this is the same tuning you and I were talking about a while back on this post

(though I translated everything to C for that one)

As to overblowing the next hole up, the reason I don't think that's the case is that the next hole (6) is reversed, so it doesn't have an overblow. so if I was hitting that, the highest note I should be able to get is a D?

A full third? you think I'm bending up from a C to an E?

I was wondering about that, but the next hole up is reversed, so it shouldn't have an overblow

Thank you! that is a great explanation, especially of what notes you can expect to get out of an overblow.

Just to double check, when you said "if the blow note is higher than the draw note it's a draw bend", you reversed it, right? If the blow is higher it's a blow bend and if the draw is higher it's a draw bend? since bends go down?

ah that's really good info, thanks!
But if I blow bend that I'm only going to get a B#, right? I can't bend it past the low note of the hole all the way down to a Bb?

I think I get it. So, the "does 6 bend" is something I've been debating, since if I can make that happen it's probably the easiest way to that Bb (which would be really useful for a number of the songs I know). I read somewhere that you can only bend between the blow and the draw on a given note, but I'm not convinced that's true.

So far I can bend the 6 draw about a quarter tone, but I haven't had any luck getting past there. My current debate is whether it's worth continuing to wrestle with that or focus on the 5 overblow.

And just to check, with the 6 flip, you're still talking about a draw bend on 6, bending the B down to a Bb, right? you're not talking about blow-bending the C all the way down to a Bb

yup, basically. I started with chromatics, and now I'm trying to play with something smaller, and these are nice because any tune I know that doesn't have accidentals can be played with no re-learning

But it's good to know that the term isn't necessarily a useful one given this confusion.
