auto-tune stomp box?

[VomitHatSteve]

Does such a device exist? I've been searching around a bit but can't seem to find anything commercially available. I'd like to have some kind of stomp box that simply rounds the notes I'm playing to the nearest semitone.
There's plenty of options for vox, but I need this for a bass. Antares has their ATG-6 system, but that only comes built into a guitar.

... and as I write this I realize that what I need for a bass is fundamentally different from what most guitarists need. Changing my search terms. ... nope still no luck.

This would be for live use, so software (and even rack-mount) systems wouldn't work.

Any ideas, anyone?

Most likely the answer is no, at least nothing that wouldn't sound like shit.

What I'm wondering is why the fuck you would do such a thing. lol

Someone will develop one - just wait....

Contact Metallica. I bet their bass player uses one.

I'm OK with that. I just want to try it out to see how it would affect my sound.

*sigh* I knew somebody would say something like this. Every thread that I was able to find had that guy.

I know how to play the friggen' instrument. I'm looking for a tool that would allow me to switch between a fretless and fretted sound for live play.
Also, one of my instruments is physically incapable of playing in tune. I'd like to see how it sounds auto-tuned.

When have messed around with pitch correction boxes in the past and tried them out on guitars...I found it to always be a problem as even the slightest finger movements cause variations...the strings move/bend...and that would make the pitch correction go batty, and you would get all kinds of warbling noises that would be almost impossible to overcome.
If you like hit one note and really held it, it could work...but at quick playing it just never seemed to be a usable thing.

Of course, auto-pitch correction has improved a lot, so maybe there is something out there?

I would be curious if you end up finding something that works perfectly...not just half-ass-ed.

Makes some degree of sense for fretless - it's not the done thing I'm sure. With an instrument that was (at least potentially) microtonal it'd defeat the purpose.

that's my feeling .... if you're gonna autotune a fretless it may as well be fretted.

I might be OK with that? This would be as much for effect as anything.

That's why I'd want a stomp box so I can toggle it on and off quickly.
