Hello, what should I check if after applying TGTools easy harmonics I still only hear the fourth interval instead of the 15th of the lower note?
Diamond heads were correctly placed, anyway.

I just ran a test and got the proper playback, so there must be something about how you set things up that is interfering. Can you post a sample file?

Some playback doesn't work correctly unless the proper instrument is chosen. That's due to the programming of Human Playback. When I changed the instrument in your file to Violin, then I get proper playback.

P.S.: Did you add the small notes for the sounding pitch? Those are interfering from proper playback when Violin is chosen as the instrument. Stick to the main note and the diamond note and HP will do the proper playback.

I have an issue here.

Playing back your sample I hear the lower note and the double octave (example: first note, C2 (lower note) and C4).
In principle, when a harmonic is defined with a fourth it means you produce only the harmonic at the double octave of the lower note. Not the lower note in addition to the harmonic.
