Guitar Machine
- kumarvvr 7y agoCan anyone identify the wireless communication chip they are using?
- ngold 7y agoWhy not. This will make some interesting music.
- apecat 7y agoThis could spice up the next Tame Impala[1] or St. Vincent[2] tours. Mentioning them because both Kevin Parker and Annie Clark tend to be interesting in their guitar engineering, while creating popular, accessible and increasingly synth-driven pop/rock. 1 - https://youtu.be/E2mNdT43M8o?t=366 https://youtu.be/E2mNdT43M8o?t=366 2 - https://youtu.be/3I89orRWN7I?t=153 https://youtu.be/3I89orRWN7I?t=153
- obituary_latte 7y agodjent players love this one weird trick
- soyguzzler 7y agoNo need for tricks when all you need is a broken trampoline and a mic to record djent.
- forgotmypwd123 7y agoreminds me of the Wintergatan Marble Machine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q
- gnode 7y agoI'm fond of this Lego acid house machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fat8ptpiufA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fat8ptpiufA
- GoodGOYIM 7y agoBut what about EPSTEIN??? SHUT IT DOWN!
- leoc 7y agoSo functionally it's roughly equivalent to a Gizmotron https://www.gizmotron.com/ https://www.gizmotron.com/ with extra solenoids to push the wheels up and down. Actually the Gizmo is better in several respects: it doesn't block the fretboard (though it can be an obstacle for the picking/plucking hand), doesn't prevent string bending and by now seems to have a less staccato and less harsh-sounding string activation.
- onorton 7y agoLooks to me like the Gizmotron is only for bowing while this can do both bowing and plucking.
- deckar01 7y agoIt has a drive shaft, worm gears, and a single motor. Seems like an odd design. I wonder if I can build similar device using a 6mm DC motor for each string and some gears to crank up the torque?
- jacknews 7y agoAI augmentation, human-machine symbiosis, etc, are definitely interesting. What's up with vimeo though? Almost 2020 and it still doesn't work properly. I don't think I've ever played a video without constant stutters, buffering, etc. Letting it play all the way through in order to buffer the whole thing, so that you can play it again, this time 'preloaded', results in it starting the download over - arrghh!
- projectsymphony 7y agodo you have `media.mediasource.enabled` set correctly? Normally you cant let the video load all the way through unless it is in progressive mode
- uxp100 7y agoI'm always pleased to see vimeo due to higher quality video, and lack of buffering, unlike youtube, which does buffer for me from time to time. So we definitely have very different experiences.
- _def 7y agoI guess it could be a regional thing. I never had problems with vimeo the last few years (albeit not using it very often)
- gtfratteus 7y agoThis reminds me of the powerlifters who wear ridiculous elastic shirts so that they can bench press 50 pounds more. It may make some songs possible to play that weren't before, but it's the polar opposite of cool.
- mxfh 7y agoBut does it Kill Fascists ?
- vibrolax 7y agoYes, with deep learning model of Woodie Guthrie style and intention.
- zwieback 7y agoI think Leo would get a kick out of this, also Les.
- castratikron 7y agoThis guy probably has the best guitar machine I've ever seen. He's also made accordion machines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNLXYuqPRSc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNLXYuqPRSc
- excalibur 7y agoThanks for that link. This is the approach I've been interested in for a long time, it has the ability to play things that a human never could (the size of and number of fingers on the human hand limit the chords you can achieve). But it's pretty decisively the machine playing there. The human participation element in the MIT version is a very interesting addition. I think a combination of their software and body-side mechanics with the Russian fretboard apparatus could do some really interesting things sonically. But it would still be less fun to play than the MIT guitar in its current form.
- nickthemagicman 7y agoI have effects pedals that do the same kinds of things. Its more or less an mechanical synthesizer.
- sjonkedispe 7y agoPat Metheny's Orchestrion project may also be of interest here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsYEOUKS4Yk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsYEOUKS4Yk
