Take a look at this- http://www.tronical.com/info01.html
:)

woooooah...
in case anyone thinks it might be fake....
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/selftuning-guitar-synthax-tronical-powertune-161585.php
$800 it says it'll retail arround.... spose it could still be fake lol but doubt it...
thats soooooooo cool.... i want it now
-
Sounds too good to be true.
-
the only downside i could see is possibly weight and the fact that you probably cant change pups? you might be able to i dunno...
-
Well you just have to make sure there's a set of BKPs installed first and then that won't be a problem :D. That does look too good to be true though.
-
lol yeh bkps as standard..
i know what you mean by too good to be true... but ive always thought about this in my head... why couldnt a computer find out how much a machinehead needs to be turned by and then do it.... its not actually THAT complicated if you think about it... its just complicated in context to guitars....
-
Seem's to me this is somthing oh so usefull pah!
If you need a tool to tune a guitar it would seem either you are butt lazy or don't have arms.
If you don't have arms, what the h*ll are you doing with a guitar.
There is a TV show just started over here called "American Inventor", by the folks who brought out X-Factor and American Idol, yay :roll:
This is summit like the people on there would bring out!
I dare say someone will buy it but really............sheesh!
-
yer its completely pointless (well not quite because you can change tunings REALLY quickly whilst gigging e.t.c) and really expensive and a lazy mans tool... but its SO COOL!!!!!!
did anyone watch the vid at the bottom of the link i posted????
the machineheads go... "whiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr crk" and its done....
and you see them move!!!!!
OMG I WANT THEM!!!!
-
it would be handy if they would always be on tune mode so that you can play away and no matter hom much you bend or use a classic style whammyit would remain in perfect pitch
but that would be far too complicated to have work but it would be nice to have every not you play be perfectly in tune all the time
-youd play longer too...
-
what's wrong with ears?
-
ears can be inaccurate at a bit slow sometimes....

Hahah your such a little gadget whore! Why not just keep it simple and NORMAL.

i guess it's because the tuning is mathematically perfect. There's a difference between mathmatically perfect tuning and audibly perfect tuning. a guitar should be tuned as a piano - which is not mathematically perfect, but to the ear it sounds that way. This is what the buzz feiten system was trying to figure out wasn't it?

^i dunno
^^it sounded right to me lol.... my ears must be crud

You definately have bad ears.. I mean, you prefer the sound of your Crate to your Laney :lol:

I'm with the glitch on this one dude...

Now I'm thinking about it........it's not a problem solving device. It only takes care of a symptom. If your guitar goes out of tune alot, the problem lies in strings, bridge, vibrato, nut or tuners. If you have a guitar that stays in tune well, you won't need an auto tuner. If it doesn't, you can upgrade the guitar with all the thing mentioned above for a fraction of the price of that auto tuning gizmo.
One more thing. How long will the batteries last?
And I agree that mathematical tuning isn't always right.

It says about 2 weeks somewhere I think.

you bar-stewards indy + tom... whose the glitch?
my laney isnt great for what its meant to be... seriously
-
Tom is The Glitch! ask him why...
-
The self tuning one I found interesting was the one that coped with alternate tunings at the touch of a button, which could hold dozens of different tunings.
As for motorised standard tuning, I'm not quite that lazy.

jimmy page had (has? i dunno) a les paul with a computer in the back, so he could press a button and the guitar would re-tune to a programmed tuning. so he could go from standard to open G or something just by a flick of a switch. could even control the speed, so it changed gradually or BANG! different tuning.
