HyVibe Shows Smart Acoustic Guitar at 2018 NAMM Show

HyVibe Shows Smart Acoustic Guitar at  2018 NAMM Show

Record, perform, compose and playback - all on the world's first  connected smart acoustic guitar   Anaheim, CA - NAMM Booth # 1500 (January, 2018) - HyVibe Audio, a sound technology company that uses vibration technology to create the purest possible sound from any object, is showing the world's first smart acoustic guitar at the 2018 NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA from January 25-28. The HyVibe Guitar uses this proprietary vibration technology and a wireless Bluetooth connection to become its own connected speaker, multi-effect processor, recorder, and amplifier, without all the cables, amps, or pedals.   "Acoustic guitar players have high standards for natural sound, but also want the features and flexibility of digital," said Dr. Adrien Mamou-Mani. "We address these needs by using the natural vibration of the guitar to create the best possible sounds and add digital control and connectivity to give the player effects, recording, and playback - all within the guitar itself."   What is a Smart Acoustic Guitar? The HyVibe Guitar begins with a solid AA spruce top for the best natural vibrations and custom-built specs for the ultimate in playability. HyVibe then introduces their proprietary algorithms and multiple actuators to transform the natural vibrations of the guitar from the top plate, by the bridge where the instrument performs best to add high quality effects. Digital recording and looping features are included for convenient songwriting, performing, and practice. Finally, wireless Bluetooth technology is embedded as well as an Android and iOS App, connecting the guitar, and it's player to the world.   Musicians have been songwriting, recording and performing with prototype HyVibe Guitars since 2011, providing valuable feedback from real-world use. Watch videos here.   "Based on years of research, our technology fuses the world of acoustics and digital in a way that has never been done before. Since we excite our guitar by the bridge, the origin of the digital sound is practically the same as the natural excitation by the strings. When the live sound, the effects, and the backing tracks are all coming from the guitar itself, it's a unique experience that the player can really feel," added Dr. Mamou-Mani.   Features: A responsive and dynamic acoustic guitar built with a solid AA spruce top and excellent craftsmanship, natural feel and a rich range of tones. Multi-effects from the body of the guitar: chorus, reverb, delay, distortion, phaser, tremolo, boost and more. Mobile App Control for Android and iOS: change the effects on the guitar, share effect setting, and recording with friends & the world Record, loop and share instantly Bluetooth connectivity: use the body of the guitar as a speaker for backing tracks or song playback Output and input jacks to connect to an external amplifier or connect pedals Built-in tuner, metronome, and EQ   Price and Availability: The HyVibe Guitar is available for pre-order on Indiegogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hyvibe-the-world-s-first-smart-acoustic-guitar   About HyVibe HyVibe Audio is a sound technology company that uses its proprietary vibration technology to create the purest possible sound from any object. The technology can be used in many industries such as telecommunications, multimedia, automotive, industrial, aerospace, and musical instruments.   HyVibe was officially formed in 2017 by Dr. Adrien Mamou-Mani, Francois Beaulier, and Matthew Volsky based on the research and development that Dr. Mamou-Mani conducted for the past 7 years at the world famous Ircam in Paris, France.   HyVibe technology has been embedded on instruments such as the viola, violin, cello, the trumpet mute, drums, and the trombone and has been performed on instruments in world-class concert halls such as the Paris Philharmonic and the SESC in Sao Paolo, Brazil.

BAE Audio to Showcase New Tonestack Fuzz and EQ at NAMM 2018

BAE Audio to Showcase New Tonestack Fuzz and EQ at NAMM 2018

Anaheim, CA - January 23, 2018 – BAE Audio [Booth 15917, Anaheim Convention Center], a manufacturer of premium analog hardware built to vintage specifications, announced that it will showcase a brand new guitar pedal at NAMM 2018: the Tonestack. The product is the second stompbox designed by BAE Audio and follows the popular Hot Fuzz, which debuted at NAMM last year. The dual-stomp pedal features a silicon fuzz circuit based on a classic fuzz of the 70s paired with a powerful three-band EQ circuit that allows unprecedented tone shaping. “As a guitar player for many years, I’ve really enjoyed getting a chance to bridge the gap between my passion for premium audio gear and for guitar pedals, starting with the Hot Fuzz” says BAE Audio CEO Mark Loughman. “I’ve also quite liked the sound of some of those great ‘70s silicon fuzzes, and thought designing one with that same classic sound but a new level of tone control would be a great second stompbox offering from BAE. The Tonestack is designed for fuzz lovers who love a good raging distortion but want that extra level of tonal control to get just the sound they’re looking for or balance it with other sounds in their rig.” Stacked in Your Favor The eye-catching bright yellow Tonestack is composed of two separate sections with individual true-bypass stomp switches. The first is the fuzz section. This silicon-based circuit can be dialed with controls that will be familiar to users of ‘70s silicon fuzzes: an Attack knob determines the amount of distortion applied, while the Level control to set the desired output volume from the pedal. The Tonestack’s fuzz imparts an instantly recognizable spitting, buzzy grit that cuts right through even the densest mix. Whether you’re playing chords or lead lines, the Attack knob offers a range of distortion possibilities from a subtle bite to a raging fuzz. The second section of the Tonestack is a three-band EQ circuit. Vintage versions of the fuzz circuits that the Tonestack is based on often included a single tone knob if any at all, so the Tonestack’s EQ provides a much wider range of sonic potential than previously possible in a single stompbox. Going further still, the ability to turn the EQ on and off with its own true-bypass footswitch enables guitar players to have different tonal options for different parts of a song. Kick in a midrange scoop with a bass boost for riffing on the lower strings, switching the EQ off for chord work higher on the neck. Or dial in your perfect rhythm guitar tone and kick on a nice midrange boost for the solo. Classic but with modern versatility and the quality assurance of the BAE Audio name, the Tonestack is a must try for the world’s electric guitarists.
