Hi all,
I have been trying to play the Chromatic harmonica for some time and decided to write an application to create harmonica tabs and also show the sheet music to practice playing (single notes) and learn to read music.
I have now started to try the Ukulele. I signed up for lessons today because understanding where the notes are, is still something very different than being able to play the instrument
But I have updated my app TNT to version 3. The app can now generate Ukelele tabs as well in 2 different tunings: gCEA re-entrant (high G) and GCEA (low G) Lineair.
To create the tab, you enter the song/riff using normal note names such as C5, G#4 or Bb4. TNT will use that to create sheetmusic and underneath the staff it can show Harmonica and Ukulele tabs.
You can keep the input simple or you can add the duration of the notes as well 1=whole, 2=half, 4=quarter, 8=eight, 16=sixteenth. You can also add rests. Next you can adds slurs or ties. etc. But you don't have to, a simple list of notes will work just fine too.
If you download TNT v3.0.0 BETA 4 from www.harpbender.com, the app will come with several song tabs for you to try out.
To practice a song or riff you can have the app "play" it first for you. The app is not trying to make it sound like music but uses the exact frequencies of the note to learn to play by ear.
If you like to play the song higher or lower, the app will automatically transpose the tabs for you.
It has helped quite a few people practice Harmonica and I hope it will be as helpful for Ukulele players.
Installing the app is simple. Just copy it to a folder and start TNT.exe. It is a 100% free Windows program, no ads or anything, just free. Windows will ask you to confirm you want to run the app (I did not pay to become a certified developer as I don't make a lot of money "selling" free apps ) Click "more info" and "run" to start the app. You only have to do this 1 time.
Keep an eye on www.harpbender.com as I will regularly post updates. There are a few more things I want to add before removing the BETA status. But the app already works fine. If you do find a bug, please let me know under oscar@harpbender.com
Thank you very much and I hope you try and like using TNT,
Oscar
