Antares ain’t the primary company to supply individual control to every string on a guitar (hello, Roland!), however the outfit’s new ATG-6 technology takes things one step toward being acceptable by the mainstream. In preference to forcing users to process separate string signals via an external device, this here rendition aims to tuck everything throughout the body. Within the demo just past the break, a Seymour Duncan HEX pickup is used, and while it’s connected via a MIDI cable, it’s probably not a MIDI guitar — that’s strictly used for control. It is usually worth mentioning a key quote from Antares product manager Max Mobley — he’s using a $99 guitar “with about $40,000 worth of technology within it,” giving us the impression that this is often nowhere near mass commercialization.
In preference to using auto-tune to absolutely destroy the genuineness of music (and convey one of the vital hilarious Bud Light commercials to this point), these axes are hoping to offer legitimate guitarists with added functionality; such things as flawless intonation and bolstered tonal flexibility. The system is reportedly able to constantly monitoring the pitch of every individual string to make sure that every riff and lick is in tune, but it’s smart enough to backtrack while you want to manually manipulate things. We’re told to hold tight for more details, but for now, we’d invite you to have a look on the company’s current progress (and a brutal flashback from 2008) below.
