Poly phonic Pitch detection? Polytune type tuning?

[Ant Music]

I am wondering if the Axe 3 is going to incorporate polyphonic pitch detection? Other devices can do it. I wonder if this is on the horizon in the new version?

Hopefully we will find out for ourselves very soon...

Pitch tracking has been improved and we know there is a quad voice in the pitch shifter, but that's about all the info we have so far

Polyphonic tuning on the Axe III would absolutely make my day. I love my Polytune, and it'd be great to have a similar tuner in the Axe so I don't have to have the actual pedal in my rig- right now I split the cable from my wireless and send one side of the split to the Polytune, which sits propped up on top of the rack. It'd be gravy to just have polyphonic tuning running through the Axe foot pedal.

I’d definitely liked to know. I know a lot of people have asked. I’m guessing it doesn’t otherwise the folks at Fractal would have said “yes” by now.

Thanks for the demo. Sounds pretty slick but I am more talking about polyphonic pitch detection in regards to polyphonic tuning ala polytune.

Also I’d love to know if polyphonic capabilities are going to be applied to the synth block? This would be a big plus for me.

The Synth block already has three voices.

The Synth block already has three voices.

I imagine he means playing two or more notes simultaneously and having them all detected/output by the synth.

Ah. That would be different.

 

[Ant Music]

Ah. That would be different.

Yes it is still a monophonic synth. It can only read one note at a time. You can't play chords into it.

It's actually a polyphonic synthesizer, because you can play chords out of it. It just doesn't have polyphonic pitch detection.

 

[Ant Music]

Semantics.... we're essentially on the same page. I would call it a multi voiced monophonic synth as contradictory as it sounds. I would only call it polyphonic if it could actually process chords and output them.
