Hugo Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hi, browsing some news sites, I picked up this. The site is proteceted from deep-linking (or whatever it's called) to I copied and pasted the text: Line6 Flexplayer I, play like a pro! Just after you’ve gotten over the shock of our amp-modelling, we hit you with the Variax series guitars. And now that you caught on to that, we hit you with our latest and greatest: the Flexplayer gloves! Our engineers really went out on a limb on this one, modelling guitar player’s hands. We took a look at speed, flexibility, coordination, and what all of that did for the sound. Pick type, or roughness of the bear fingers, we’ve taken it all into account. The result is a set of gloves, complete with pick in the right hand glove (left-hand will be available end of the summer) and a little midi computer you can clip onto your belt. And then, the magic starts. Select a pro and away you go! Be as fast like Vai, melodic like May, get the bluessound of Clapton. You name it, it’s there. Of course, a computer hookup is possible via the midi port, a full workbench has been added for your convenience. This enables you to mix hands from different players, even fingers if you like. However, a bit of a warning here, not all guitarists hand like to be paired with others. This bug does not seem to want to be solved, for some odd reason. Furthermore, the midi port can of course interact with our amps and guitars. This enables you to store combinations, like a soldano amp, a prs guitar and Santana’s hands under a simple preset on your guitar. But of course, the Flexplayer will work with any of your regular gear, too. Amazing, what will they think of, next. Cheers, Hugo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzocchi705 Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I want to know how it work? How can a glove possibly make you play better and faster? How can it give you a better sense of melody? Seems like a load of voodoo to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
