Wish Polyphonic Tuner

[Surrealistic Brillo]

...again.

 

[Ugly Bunny]

I'd like to bump this. It's probably quite possible now, right? Even up to 7-string would be cool; could even have an FC display of it using up or down arrows.

Surprised no one's mentioned this in over a year

 

[Guitarjoe]

Would love to see this in the axeIII. So I can remove my last pedal...

 

[ak301]

Yeah, this would be great

No can do. Patented.

 

[shatteredsquare]

how do you patent the ability to do more than one thing at a time??

 

[davidespinosa]

@FractalAudio

If they sue you, say it's meant for one note at a time.
It just so happens to work for more than one note, but that's an accident.

they'd have him fix the accident pretty quickly.

Patented like all the amps and pedals and other things that are modeled are patented?

If it's patent US8334449B2, I would think that's sufficiently tied to the hardware that it can't just cover every tuner that detects (and shows) more than one note at a time... If it covers the actual results of the product rather than the product itself, then it's no different to modeling an amp.

In fact it's probably even further than that, because you wouldn't "model" the Polytune, you'd be producing your own software entirely.

In the meantime, anyone looking for a very cool software poly tuner , then check out Midi Guitar 2 by www.jamorigin.com. , one its its many useful features.....

A patent on polyphonic tuning technology. That's about as Kyle as a patent on guitar intonation technology. "I have a nut that fixes 100% intonation problems by removing a tiny bit of material from the break point. But no one else can make it."

So did Boss license the patent for their GT-1000 and SY-1000 (assuming it's TCE that holds it?)?

Depends on what the parent actually protects. Are there any other polyphonic tuners anywhere?

Digitech used to make one. Peterson might also make one according to Wikipedia.

I didn't know that!

Is it in the iOS app, too?

ive had less success with the IOS version and it is much less featured ,so I don't really remember....maybe not...

Amazing something that obvious is patented.

Is the display of a FFT-derived spectral plot with labelled peaks patented?

 

[steadystate]

I have a polyphonic tuner. I never use it. I can only manipulate one machine head at a time, and the display is often a confusing jumble. I don't find it any faster.
