I believe so, but the reason I classified it as emission is because what you're suggesting would incorporate both transmutation and manipulation, which isn't impossible but highly inefficient.

Am I correct in assuming that the monsters cannot be directly controlled, then?

I very much like the new hatsu; it seems somewhat reminiscent of Morel's Deep Purple, what with the large equipment needed for the hatsu, as well as it's secondary function as a bludgeoning weapon. And on that note, I think it could also be manipulation or transmutation, and the tuning fork could be an actual object that the user requires in order to activate the hatsu, again reminiscent of Deep Purple, although your version is just as functional regardless.
