Re: Chromatic for Irish-- there can be only one! (For me at least)
In the link below, the second retuning moves a C Major Solo harp to D Major Inverted Bebop. This harp also has a G Major scale without using the slider or bending. Both of these major scales remain fully chromatic with use of the slider, whether it be sharp- or flat-slide. https://brendan-power.com/...

D Major 202 E Dorian 62 A Mixolydian 22 B Minor 8 total = 294 -------- -------- G Major 190 A Dorian 69 D Mixolydi...

Let's hope -- after Kongsheng's initial development of the KB-12 -- that offering a KB-12 Mk2 (with straight tuning) would be relatively easy.

Dorian Cross var. 2.5a re-tuning of a Paddy Richter Baby Fat
The other day I thought that maybe I had penciled out a new tuning. When I checked Pat Missin 's catalog, I found that it was already known as Variation 2.5a of Dorian Cross . 2.5 - DORIAN CROSS BLOW C E G C E G C E G C HOLE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 DRAW D G Bb D F A Bb D F A 2.5a - VARIATION OF 2.5 BLO...

Slide diatonic+tremolo (or octave). Has it been done?
What about this: a slide harp with some standard tuning (e.g. Solo, PowerChromatic) in one layer, but then pushing the slider opens up both layers, with the second layer being tremolo or octave of the first layer?

Re: Chromatic with Offset Tonics Double Lead Tone (COT-DLT)
Note that in the flat-slide version (above), both layers have three possible draw-bends per octave. Compare this with PowerChromatic, which has four, and with Solo and Classical, each of which have two.

... and/or create MIDI files!
I seem to recall that currently there are algorithms that convert piano recordings to MIDI files. I am not a programmer or a sound engineer, but I would guess that some of the code could be transferable.
