Robert, one day I must look into things like plugins - been roundabout 9
years since used to work in C# for ASP.Net development, but, suppose
that experience might help with this type of thing...<smile>

If you want to know the frequency of a note, just enter this in the
Nyquist prompt:
(step-to-hz cs5)
A message box pops up after OK.
cs5 means C Sharp, 5th octave.
Of course, Nyquist could do all the transpose stuff etc as well. It
has in-built pitch detection and pitch shift functions.

Yes, I would also be interested in the list of notes/frequencies.
Stay well

Yes, the VFR is a v4. You will be happy to know he now has a Suzuki
V-Strom 650 as a road bike and a GSXR 600 as a race bike. We did several
laps of Phillip Island the day after the first and so far only World
Superbike race of this year on the Strom. I will cease and desist before
straying even further off topic for the list.

Andrew, your timing and spacing is definitely better than mine. <smile>
Suppose it also comes down to motor-style - VFR is a v-4 if remember
correctly, whereas the bandit is an in-line 4, so, it gives you a rather
different sound.
I based my initial changes on the frequencies have here for the harmonica
tablature have for playing happy birthday - 2b, 2b, 3b, 2b 4d, 2b, where,
for example, 2b = blow through hole 2 = 311Hz, 3b = 369 and, 4d = 554,
although, you will not hear quite the same pitch/style with a draw instead
of a blow sound, but, all I did was start off with a piece of the exhaust
revving sound, and adjust it until it seemed to be close to 311Hz, and
then used the same clip and adjusted it to sort of match the other
frequencies, and then just patched them all together, rearranging them a
little bit, clipping one or two of them to shorten the rythm, etc., but
anyway - took a total of roundabout half an hour, so, could probably have
been a bit more careful/specific - like said, your timing definitely
sounds better than mine.
You can tell your son (joke) he should have stuck with the Suzuki brand
- but, that's my own personal preference...
Nice one!

Hey Jacob, you beat me to it. I used a sample from my son's previousThe audacity4blind web site is at

sound. I tried it an octave higher, but it sounded silly - well, not
like a VFR. Coincidentally, my son's first two bikes were Bandits, a 600
and then a 1200.
I have a table of musical notes which I thought I would need, but
finished up selecting the notes from Audacity's Change Pitch dialog.
Having tin ears, I will not guarantee that tuning is spot on. Oh, and
there's the timing.
The file is not very big, but I do not know whether the list will accept
attachments. Therefore, download from:

Ok, what I did was take a sample of the sound clip I wanted to use for
this - if of interest, it's a Suzuki Bandit 1200, with an after-market
Yoshimura tri-oval exhaust canister fitted - and, then using the
frequency figures for the harmonica I have here, and, using the change
pitch effect in audacity, I tried tweaking the basic frequency of the
clip had extracted to match the required frequencies as close as possible
- or until they sounded more or less right to me.
I then combined them all into the following audio clip - listen to it if
you want to, or don't, since it might just sound a bit odd to some 😉:

And, yes, in case you were wondering why I care about things like this,
it does relate to that the term in my e-mail signature relates to
motorcycles, and, not bicycles, and, this bike/exhaust combination
happens to have been my favourite in the old sighted days, and, these
sound clips are how I wish my fellow two-wheeled community members a
'happy birthday' - odd, but, life/personality, or something...LOL!

Andrew, here is a basic example - it's the happy birthday song, being
rendered by the sounds of motorcycles revving:
http://www.blindza.co.za/uploads/motorcycleHB.mp3
I pulled that one off youtube, where someone had just taken different
sounds and combined them into that clip. However, for example, was
thinking about taking a specific motorcycle/exhaust combination that
provides a cleaner, clearer sound, and, putting together something
similar, but, using the frequencies gathered from the notes I know how
to play on a harmonica, etc.?
Suppose best will just be to take the sound, and adjust it a bit at a
time.
And, yes, this is all a bit of a side-thought, and, not really of
much importance... 😉

Hi Jacob
I am not sure that I fully understand what you are aiming for. I just
did some playing around with the pitch change effect and wonder
whether it may be worth a bit more investigation. I was able to
change the key of an entire song by simply selecting a different key.
I selected the entire song and applied the effect and it was all
processed.

Hi there
Know this may sound a bit odd, but, sort of relates to using
alternative sound forms to render a version of something like a common
tune - for example, I know the frequencies of the notes for happy
birthday, but, might want to take an alternative sound form, and,
process it to play back in the frequency ranges of the notes of a song
like that?
Know could tune this bit by bit, using something like the change pitch
effect, but, just wondering if there's a simpler way to handle it,
using output frequency reanges, etc.?
