Polytune pedal + drone synth

Post by nevada »

These two things would work well together, right? Think I want a dedicated drone synth, but I would want to use it in a live setting without bleep-blooping and changing by ear.

Oooooo polyvtune would be intetrsting. I tune my drone commander with a boss tuner but polyvtune would be super convenient if it worked that way.

I've never even considered tuning my Drone Commander. I just do everything by ear.
I have a Polytune though so I'll try it out sometime this weekend when I get a chance

Yeah I haven't in the past, but am planning on performing with it this weekend so I started using the tuner. I dig it.

Tuning Analog Oscillators is kinda defeating the purpose... Just like Tap Tempo but don't get me started...

He prefers that you refer to him as a "Northern Coonass" not a "Snowback".

:hello:

So, if you don't use a tuner to tune oscillators, sonidero, how do you tune 'em?

Droning IS all about EAR so if I saw someone on stage Droning while checkin they tuning pedal I would leave...

Just me though, seems kinda dorky to be that concerned that the Drone is "in tune"...
