I know and which ever way you decide to go is fine with me. At the end of the day it's probably best to just reduce the amount of headaches by leaving it out. I know that would probably be what I would do if I was in that position....hell what am I talking about; I do that kind of crap all the time. I rationalize it by saying that I'm 'meeting the needs of the customer' but the truth is that it's just easier to take something away rather than try to get them to understand a new feature when it's not what they are accustom to using. Doesn't matter if I think that it's better for them or not.I'll look into it but I got a bit disgusted with all the snide remarks so I'm not particularly motivated to bring it back.
it makes the tuner much more accurate. it seems crazy to get rid of it
Hey don't let the complainers get you down. I work in IT, we only every here from people with complaints/issues because they have no need to call us when everything is working fine. It can get you down from time to time but there are thousands (maybe 10's of thousands) out there who are not complaining about a single thing you are doing with the AxeFX!SpenceI'll look into it but I got a bit disgusted with all the snide remarks so I'm not particularly motivated to bring it back.
Well, I would like to personally apologize, but I didn't mean anything I said in a bad way (in the vid I made), I was just making light of the situation.I'll look into it but I got a bit disgusted with all the snide remarks so I'm not particularly motivated to bring it back.
I can understand where it could be distracting if you hadn't ever used a strobe tuner and didn't know what you were looking for. But I do want to say one thing and I don't mean it in a negative manner to anyone here, but the accuracy of the tuner isn't going to change if there is no ball, one ball or fifty balls. Put your thumb or piece of tape over the ball and that's the exact tuner that you are going to get now without the ball (unless he goes in and changes the sensitivity or something again). Tune it up just using the line; take the tape off and see just how 'accurate' you are now.
The way that it is supposed to work is that you use the line to get close to pitch and then when the magic 8 ball stops spinning you are balls on accurate. Location of the dot is irrelevant; it's about the direction of the rotation and not where it stops spinning. It's like having a magnifying glass here; you start out wide and then once you get close you zoom in with the ball.
Bottom line is that tuning 'accuracy' will not and cannot be improved by simply ditching the ball. You just won't be able to zoom in on it that last little bit which to me equates to less accuracy.
With that said the original tuner was pretty damn good to begin with and I have a strobe tuner that I use if I'm doing something like intonation or a setup. The AxeFXII's tuner did seem to be good enough to do those, but old habits die hard.

Tuner is straight forward if you have used a turbo tuner or probably any similar strobe tuner. It's pretty obvious how it works especially as you can see the standard display at the same time & you can see immediately that:
ball rotating anti-clockwise = note flat
ball rotating clockwise = note sharp
ball stationary = note in tune
I'm confused that people are confused.
