This is a bit off topic, but is an interesting demo of an interesting new electronic music technology intended for guitarists, Antares ATG-6: Auto-Tune for Guitar.
Lots of interesting information in this video and also technical demonstrations, including intonation fixes, instant alternate tunings, doubling of the bottom string, splits, simulated 12-string, tone adjustments and more.

me like 😀
…research funded by a million dreadful pop songs…
Me want, but me no have $40K. So sad.
Much more interesting than vocal autotune.
"250 super computers per core, and there's two cores"
DADGAD sounded out of tune…
he said open D, not DADGAD..
Is it just me, or can anyone else here the "retuning" glitchyness?
It's like some product designers are hell bent on removing every bit of character from music.

People said the same thing about synths 40 years ago. Why the luddite attitude?
With something like this, you could play in just intonation on a standard guitar just as easily as you can with some keyboards.
This looks cool as hell to me.
ok, I have to admit, I wouldnt mind creatively abusing something like this….but it'd likely be far from it's intended usage
So….this is basically Guitar Rig?

He clearly says "DADGAD"
This looks like very interesting technology that would basically free up guitarists to do a lot of things that keyboardist can do pretty easily, including splits, doubling and alternate tunings.
Antares would be smart to give this a different name, though.
AutoTune's notoriety is because of its use as a 'robot' effect, rather than a subtle correction tool. It seems like as many people hate that effect as like it and so the name has a lot of negative publicity.
That is some of the best guitar pitch shifting i've heard.
It's basically a better version of what line 6 have been doing with their guitars. Could be good.
Exactly, JI is what excites me the most about this!
I think I agree with you.
Who cares if 99% of the people abuse this and make boring sh*t? Most of the time, in particular in art, it's the "good" 1% what matters. 🙂
Obviously I don't know much about marketing but I think they will milk as much as possible all the name recognition they've built. Even bad rep is good rep.
