Hello to everyone ,i am wondering if i purchase harp ninja can i install it on two computers as iwould use it both in the lounge and in the shed.

More seriously i have tried the free version and to my dismay i find i am not bending notes at all in fact each attempt seems to just lower the pitch. 

Well i have only been practising for a few months so im not to upset but i actually thought i was bending away hahah.

What a great site this is i have learned many things already .

                                                          Cheers from OZ

Wondering the same thing

I don't know if you will get a direct answer here or not. 

From the website:

Please note: Due to the way Apple and Google Play AppStores operate it is not possible for me to offer cross-platform licenses.However, within each platform you can run HarpNinja on any device for that platform. Please contact me if you need more clarification.

So the license will not work across differnet platforms.  I could not find anything that said if it is limited to one Windows PC or not.  If you are purchasing through Google or Apple store then it should work on each divce of the same platform as long as it is using the same account.

You should problable contact the develaper on the contact link at https://harpninja.com/

With Windows PC you can download and install for a short trial period.  The License terms should be displayed during install.

If you do contact the developer and get an answer would you please post the answer here.

Brian

I got the same error.

I tried to send the developer your question and I got the same error.  

By the way.  I struggled for a few weeks on bending.  I started with the 6 hole and worked my way down.  I found that I was passing the bend.  As I tried to bend, I would hear a sound disappear for a split second as I continued to move my tongue back.  It turned out the bend was in that location where the sound was disappearing.  I was moving my tongue too quickly.  Go really slow and you will find it.  With other holes I studied my tongue movements when I would articulate sounds that would give me a quick bent note and then try to recreate that portion of the word. 

Hope that helps.

On my Android phone I am using a free app called Harmonica tuner.  Similar to harp Ninja to show what notes you are playing but doesn’t have all the other fun stuff.

Brian

HarpNinja License Question

Hey Folks!

Sorry about the form error on the HarpNinja website, I'll get that fixed asap. 

Update: Contact form on HarpNinja website is fixed. 

 

The short answer to the license is: 

Buy PC license you can run on all PC’s you personally own and use.

Buy iOS iPad version you can run it on all your iOS devices.

Buy Android tablet version you can run it on all your androids.

OSX: Currently unavailable see https://harpninja.com/harpninja-osx-version-no-longer-available/

 

If you want the longer answer as to why please email me paul at sonicviz.com (replace at with @)

 

Fyi I'm currently working on a browser based music practice application which incorporates HarpNinja functions.

It's currently in early alpha testing stage. 

 

Harpe Diem!
