thisnameistaken Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 On a more positive note, with two extra strings we could rid the world of guitarists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Would be an interesting experiement to do a range of 'blind' listening tests to see how easy we could spot the robot from a human player as an insight to the 'it's all in the fingers' school of thought. Obviously some styles would be more obvious than others - how's that thing going to slap or tackle fretless for instance?

shizznit Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I'm sure I heard a bum note in there somewhere! (ignorance is bliss!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Awesome but it plays with a pick (picks) so it will never be a pro player ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Can it manage when the guitarist/singer want to change the key??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leschirons Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 No good, not only has someone got to carry the bass rig in but the bassplayer too. The upside of course is sharing out it's 25% of the gig money amongst the rest of the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltyG565 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 "hey, what are you doing?" *nasaly voice* "ohh, just getting ready for my gig at the weekend" "how?" "just pre-programming the bass on this software, should only take another 15 hours" I think we are safe for now.... for now. dread the day when they are affordable and easy to use/transport though.

Kiwi Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The student was from Victoria Uni in Wellington, NZ. That was a superb piece of work. No way I could have identified the playing from the real thing...apart from better consistency, perfect timing and the sheer effortlessness of it.

Kongo Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I do have to say though, it really puts into perspective how much effort and difficulty there is in being an organic being. Look how high tech, large and clunky a piece of machinery has to be in order to do something we learn to do merely by our hands. The human body still remains the most complex and amazing machine to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) That's a brilliant piece of engineering to my eyes. Picks on a carousel attached to a stepping motor rather than just one plucking up and down on a solenoid is really clever thinking and avoids having yet more solenoids which could make it look clumsy. Even Mrs Ez was impressed. Edited November 24, 2012 by ezbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 A thing of beauty. I love it! If I win the lottery I'm ordering one! To make it more realistic, it should only work if you keep topping it up with alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allighatt0r Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Fantastic! I really enjoyed that. It's impressive that those bits that move up and down dampen the notes as well as fret them. It would never replace a human though, it would never be able to adapt to subtle tempo changes in a live band setting.
