Hi Forum Gurus - I see many have read this request but nobody has commented. If anyone can recommend a voice I can emulate a harmonica with, much appreciated. If I need to add a 3rd party library ... ok. Dave - master of all voices, any thoughts? I hate to bother everyone with my trivial need, but I’m supposed to add this for our next rehearsal. The song is technically trivial, of course, I just need a voice to cover that “lead”. |

I think the Blues Harp voice is fine for this...not in front of my Motif
This is as much a matter of playing technique as sounds. I’ve played this
Volume pedal, pitch bend - that’s the key to the technique. |

I sure hope you haven’t been waiting TWO YEARS for a reply. Unless the voice is hidden or listed under the guise as a “piano”, a category search and simple auditions should find one close enough where I would do some experimentation with voice editing; try and tweak it. There are plenty of articles in the support section on articulation and voice architecture. Good luck in your quest...l See you in 2016 |

Harmonicas are and have always been in the SAX/WOODWIND Category, Reed/Pipe Sub-category, they are a reed instrument.
