so I’ve had my xSIID in my left hand (L3 I think) for half a year and I love it. I kind of want to get that new xG3 now, but my main worry about implants is just that I use my hands for music so I want to be careful. I plan on never getting aything implanted near my fingertips (I play flute as my main instrument), but with the magnet, I’m curious if there’s anywhere else that I should avoid having implants, considering an instrument like the bass guitar uses strings that are magnetic (which is how the pickups detect a signal).
When I think about it, I don’t think there’s anywhere on the metacarpal areas that I should avoid re: instruments, and it’s probably not a big deal anywhere else, but the thought keeps on nagging me. Anyone with experience with implants and any kind of music instrument where you perform a lot of small, similar motions with specific parts of your hand?
I was more thinking the opposite: if I was to implant a magnet, I’d look into implanting it somewhere convenient to - perhaps - create unique sound effects by messing up with the pickups on purpose. Technically I don’t think you’ll achieve anything audible, since a magnet would just statically bias the pickup’s field, but you never know: you could obtain a sound unique to you as an implantee. Maybe run some tests with the implant still in the injector to see what’s achievable.
Okay that’s pretty cool that seems like that would be a gr8 project, refreshing my python memory and programming the device to output pitches in a certain scale or something. Very very cool.
