Hi, I'm TigerhawkT3, and I've posted a few tabs here. While making them, I found myself constantly wishing for an easy way to translate between tabs for various instruments and notes on the staff. I couldn't find what I wanted, so I did it myself.
I made a tool (links at the end of this post) that allows users to compare note positions between a 10-hole diatonic harmonica, a six-string guitar, a piano, and a musical scale. I call it the Digital Virtual Instantaneous Instrument Comparator and Emulator, or DVIICE.
Mouse over a note to display all enharmonic (equivalent) notes, and click a note to play it (uses an equal-tempered scale). The Chrome/Safari version (using the Web Audio API) allows you to hold the button down for a continuous note, while the compatibility version (using HTML5 - works on modern browsers) produces fixed tones of one beat (half a second) in length.
Want to change a guitar tab into a harmonica tab? Use the DVIICE to quickly translate each fret on the guitar to the proper hole (with any required overblows or bends) on the harmonica. Want to create sheet music out of your harmonica ditty? Tell the DVIICE how it goes on the harmonica, and it will show you where each note belongs.
I plan on using this for future tabs, and I hope others find it useful as well.
