SmartBLENDER
| New in Optek's product line up is the SmartBLENDER optical switching box. Hook this handy footpedal to your SmartLIGHT and have full switching control over the SmartLIGHT's dual output system. Switch between the Piezo pickup and the magnetic pickups on the fly or step on the pedal to add or subtract one system from the other. By optically switching the inputs, the common noisy pops are not heard through your amp. |  |
Fretlight PLUS Connection Kit
For those that still desire the incredible speed and ease of Optek's
lighted learning system but don't have a computer, we have a solution just
for you. The Fretlight PLUS Connection Kit is designed to be a self-contained
library of chords and scales which you can connect to a SmartLIGHT guitar.
It does what the revolutionary Fretlight Guitar used to do and more! Connect
the power to the Fretlight box, the footswitch (to quickly turn the lights
on and off for memorization), and the MIDI cable from a SmartLIGHT and you're
set to go. Three rotary switches on the box guide you to scale and chord
selections. The PLUS part of the box lets you see some diagonal scales,
easy chords, and allows you to blink root notes. This is the portable answer
to those players that want to keep on learning, even when they're away from
their computer. The future is built in. When you get a PC or Mac someday,
just pick up the PC/Mac Connection Kit. Your SmartLIGHT guitar is ready
to go
SmartHUB
| With the SmartHub, you can connect up to 5 SmartPORT interfaces. That means that one instructor can now teach 9 students (and control the lights on their SmartLIGHT guitars) at the same time with one computer. Hook up several SmartHubs and teach a whole classroom. Perfect for the classroom or workshop environment. At Optek, we are dedicated to revolutionizing guitar education. Look to us to teach the world to play guitar. |  |
