"Actuator" ....it's a fucking rotary encoder used in everything with a digital potentiometer... and it's integrated into a foot switch? WTF Why????????
That's Neurals schtick.
The people who write the descriptions for their products have no idea what half the words they use mean and they just hope you won't either. They also try to work in a bunch of luxury car terms that end up being blatantly incorrect.
They're totally shameless about it, if you ask Neural what "MIDI" means they will probably act all nervous and be like, "That's our proprietary
Massively
Indulgent
Discerning
Intelligence tonal AI generation technology."
They're super bold too. They just expect they can use terms like "advanced mechanical design and manufacturing techniques" to describe the process of fitting something less powerful than your smartphone into a case the size of a cinderblock and not expect anyone to call BS.
Also, these don't actually release until Sept 2020, because, surprise surprise, they lease everything out to third parties. But you know, Neural is so far ahead of the game, that their unit that isn't even cutting edge now will somehow be the most cutting edge thing 7-8 months from now.
They're really more of a lifestyle company than a tech company.
They definitely have confidence in their product though. They are the only company I know who routinely touts stuff a quick google can disprove in five seconds. All you have to do is highlight the "SHARC processor" in their ad speak to learn that the chip that is supposed to be the most cutting edge thing ever in the era of the Axe-FX III happens to be the same ones used in the Axe-FX II. But hey, this Neural unit doesn't ship until Sept 2020, so if anyone wants to preorder outdated tech, go for it.
