Victor,

Yeah,... I do work for Line 6, here in California. The Corporate office
is in Calabasas in the far west end of the San Fernando Valley (I live 
in Encino just a few streets over from Tarzana [name after Tarzan]). I
work just over the hill from Calabasas at their Simi Valley location. 
They also have a location in Daventry, Northampton England (just across 
the water from you) between Rugby and Coventry, that covers the UK and 
the Euro Zone. You can Google map those locations to get an idea of the
geography of it all.

Check out the link-  

http://www.myspace.com/337660836/photos/albums/my-photos/355176

the photos on my MySpace page, me and my Variax 300 Electric. It's a 
photo we took for the Service Center Newsletter. It'll be 3-yrs there
in late September.

Interesting that you're using a hexaphonic, older or newer guitar?
I hear of few people still using those. It's been a debate between 
hexphonic verses piezo-electrics.

You pose an interesting idea of "effects with adaptive FM/SpSB/ModFM/
etc effect",... in conunction with Line 6 technology? Interesting. 
Now you've really done it, you got the cogs and wheels in my head going.
Look what you've done to me. (lol)
One more reason for me to get deeper into papers. In the words of 
Margo Leadbetter for the TV series Good Life, "well thank you very much".
(lol again)

You might want check out a corner of the Line 6 website, there's a 
section where end users create modelling patches for different pieces
of gear and submit them to a kind of community tone patch library. I 
need to make more use of it. Think there's an end user logon required.
Not sure, being that I work there, I get automatic access to the user 
community. It's cool stuff.

I've pull out the September 2008 issue of the AES Journal so that I'll
see a continuity of and context of all of this. Back-to-back with the 
June 2010 issue, these will be really comprehensive. Way to go Victor.
Thanks mate.


Cheers,
-Partev

Partev,

did you say you worked for line6? I guess with those guitars you could  
have a nice adaptive FM/SpSB/ModFM/etc effect with the
split pickup and all. I was thinking of doing a proof-of-concept here  
(I have a guitar with a hexaphonic pup) but never got round to it.

Regards

Victor

It's actually a hexa-piezo pickup (RMC) on a Godin. I don't have a  
MIDI converter, so I have not used very often (but I borrowed a roland  
one once to check it worked and it did, quite well actually). I have  
not looked too closely at the variax, but my impression was that its  
piezo was six-way split and each string separately processed (I  
wondered also why it did not give you a pitch-to-midi option, but  
we're getting way into an OT post here, so I'll stop).
