|
|
According to the Korg UK web site, the Pitchblack+ has been discontinued.
It's still listed in Germany, Japan, the US, and the 2011 Proview.
Does anyone know if the Pitchblack+ is indeed being discontinued? I don't want to buy one only to find it's being replaced. |

Why would you not want to buy one if it's being discontinued? You might get it cheap! I suspect Korg are probably going to discontinue most of their guitar products. I think keyboards are probably where they make most of their revenue. |

I'd be surprised if Korg abandoned the tuner market completely. I wouldn't want to buy a Pitchblack+ now (I've haven't noticed any reduction in the price) only to find that an improved tuner's announced next month. |

Ahhh I see, fair comment, maybe they are going to re-vamp the range. |

Tuners vary greatly. They improve by becoming more accurate, having a faster response, by having more informative displays, by becoming more robust, having better signal bypass systems, by supporting more tunings and temperaments...
The Pitchblack+ is unusual (unique as far as I know) in that two instruments can be connected at once (it combines the function of tuner and A/B switch). |

I'm specifically asking about the Pitchblack+ rather than the Pitchblack (which is still advertised in the UK). |

Thanks.
I really wasn't aware. I just use my AX3000B's built in tuner, or my Roland TU-2 and to be honest I never really considered it particularly vital. Obviously the AX is different... _________________ Current Gear: Kronos 61, RADIAS-R, Volca Bass, ESX-1, microKorg, MS2000B, R3, Kaossilator Pro +, MiniKP, AX3000B, nanoKontrol, nanoPad MK II,

seems like the pitchblack + is the same device is the regular pitchblack but with the ability to plug in two different instruments plus store presets etc.. looks like a great device to me _________________ If it Doubt Leave it Out !
