strum machine

 no need to tune your guitar again!

User strums the open strings of his guitar & the strum machine compensates for any string being out of tune by changing the frequency up/down.

Could update with chord pedals - press a button a button and the open chord can become a augmented minor 9th or whatever - prefect for non players!

       Try not plugging your guitar in, and listening to Eric Clapton on headphones while you're playing.

       I'm not sure, but isn't this (compensating for out of tune instruments and singers) what "Autotune" does, nowadays? I don't really understand Autotune, and finding links for it was a bear, the last time I looked but I think StarChaserTyger might know more.

       [RodsT]: My Casio does this as well. What you're doing here is basically 'quantizing' the pitch, rather than the note length. A similar effect was used on 'Believe' by Cher (and, more subtly, on virtually everything by Christina Ag, Broccli Spears, Steps, etc).

       Wasn't me, I know squat about music...My only musical talents are being able to turn on a radio/CD player and having married a master bard of the SCA...
