Gibson self-tuning guitar

Posted by Alan Buckingham at 12:36 PM on March 5, 2013

Gibson makes guitars and is probably not a company you would readily associate with consumer electronics, but these days everything seems to involve technology.

The company has been producing tunable guitars for some time, but this year it has refreshed the lineup. While these instruments can still be tuned by hand, they can also auto-tune and the mechanism that handles that has been shrunk down to be less intrusive. That is handled by a lithium-ion battery that is good for “80-100″ tunings. The guitars come with six factory pre-sets, but the musician can tweak that for themselves.

The guitars shown in the video start at $799 and are available right now.

Posted by KL Tech Muse at 6:32 PM on February 23, 2013

StantonDj which is now part of the Gibson family of products showed off the SCS 4DJ DJ Controller. Unlike many DJ system the SCS 4DJ works without any external devices. All the software and hardware needed is built-in. It works under the Unix operating system using proprietary software. There are four USB to connect hard drives, two on the outside and two more in compartments under the main area of the device. All the music and tracks the DJ needs to perform his set can be put on the hard drives and accessed by the SCS 4DJ Controller. You can bypass the internal controls and use the SCS 4dj Controller as a mini player.

The SCS 4dj Digital Controller runs around $499 and is available at major music stores, Amazon and some big box retail locations. You can find more information about it and other Stanton products at the Stanton website

Stanton SCS.4DJ Digital DJ Mixstation

Posted by Andrew at 12:13 PM on February 26, 2012

SCS.4DJ Mixstation If you’re a DJ, you probably know the name Stanton, purveyors of DJ hardware. If you’re not a DJ, you probably still know the parent company, Gibson, of the guitar fame. Either way, we’re in good company here. Todd and Steve mix it up with Darrin “B-Side” Young from Stanton.

On show is Stanton’s SCS.4DJ Digital DJ Mixstation, a self-contained digital controller that has its own built-in computer and mixing software. The Mixstation is Linux-based with proprietary software that takes advantage of the unit’s features.

The music itself is all digital (.mp3, .wav, .aac) and USB storage can either be plugged in temporarily or else more permanently fitted on the underside in media bays.

Some of the cool toys include a 4″ hi-res colour LCD screen, display of the current track’s beat and wave form, media browser and automatic synchronisation between tracks (beat match). There’s also an auto DJ feature that takes a playlist and beat matches between the tracks. Nice.

Available now for $499 from over 500 retailers nationwide.
