 The Light Pick™ has many unique first time features built in; a
metronome that visually displays tempo and beat patterns, blink mode
which acts as a light show and a hold mode.
Metronome mode, which is a great teaching tool for beginners, makes
available beat patterns, 2-8, combined with yet another first time
feature of being able to directly set any desired tempo ranging from
20-400 beats per minute into the Light Pick™.
Only two simple swipes of the thumb are needed to set the tempo of each
measure in any mode. The Light Pick™ automatically replicates via
blinking lights the last two remaining beats completing every measure
for you when configuring the tempo! Just tap in the desired tempo and
play!
Blink mode displays a continuous light show for those who just want to
have fun with friends and has the same tempo range as metronome mode.
Hold mode sets and retains the latest settings allowing one to restart
where they left off! It also automatically turns the Light Pick™ off to
conserve batteries when it's not in use after sixteen seconds.
Three swipes of the thumb within one second will illuminate the tail
light consecutively, confirming the Light Pick™ is ready to reset into
any of its modes.
The advanced Light Pick™ enclosure and tip provide a replaceable
guitar tip platform that is responsive and at the same time increases
one's accuracy, harmonics, timbre, timing, and string articulation as well as presenting a brighter tone.
The nylon tips for the Light Pick™ and enclosures
are fully replaceable, a first time feature in the long history of
guitar picks. They're
available in light, medium and heavy gauges as well as a variety of
colors. The enclosures are available in left and right handed versions.
The Light Pick™ features
seven different programmable beat patterns ranging from 2 to 8 that
illuminate the entire Light Pick™ on the first beat of each measure,
add in the kick it delivers throughout while soloing from the string
shock technology, and it increases even more on a greater down stoke
when picking adjacent strings!
This means when one is picking fast between
just two strings sets with the Light Pick™ they'll be able to play even
faster than before with additional styles and a greater picking
variability in performance!
Each Light Pick™ includes four interchangeable tips (Light,
Medium and Heavy), and a random tip installed in the Light Pick™ in
nylon clear for the best light distribution coupled with a set of
Energizer batteries to keep it flashing. (From Santa Cruz product sheet -- www.sclw.net) Editor's note: The Price is around $69 for the Performer series) |
