PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION OF OUR PRODUCT CAREFULLY AS THE REMAINING QUESTIONS OF THIS SURVEY WILL FOCUS ON YOUR OPINION OF THE PRODUCT. YOUR HONEST ANSWERS WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED!
The Internet of Things Amp (IoT Amp) is a concept that brings the internet to guitar amps, allowing you to remotely connect with the amps of your fellow musicians and to then play together in perfect sync on any electric instruments such as electric guitar, keyboard, electric violin etc., no matter how far you are currently based from each other. You will be able to remotely collaborate with others via the IoT amps in live sessions, concert rehearsals, remote music tutorials, or music creation. This will be possible with our new IoT guitar amp range and accompanying software that will allow you to link your amp to the amp of your fellow music collaborator.
To make sure you can use the benefits of our Internet of Things software on previously purchased guitar amps from our brand, we will also offer a separate standalone product that you will be able to easily plug in into your existing digital amp whenever you want to play with someone remotely. |

|
|
* Which of the following would you be more likely to purchase? |
| |
|
|
|
|
* How often would you use the amp (or a standalone IoT device attached to your old amp) to play music remotely? |
| |
|
|
|
|
* Which instruments do you envisage you and your musician friends would use the IoT Amp or the IoT standalone device with? |
| |
|
|
|
|
* Have you ever used similar tools (e.g. computer programs) that allowed you to play music with another musician despite being in different locations? |
| |
Please specify tools/programs/products used to date… |
|
|
Current programs allowing you to remotely play music with your friends or other musicians involve a small delay of approx. 0.003s (3 milliseconds) between the time that the sound played by you is heard by your fellow musician located elsewhere (and vice versa). This is notable in some music genres and live sessions. How would you rate an impact that a delay like that would have on your remote music playing experience?
Please slide the button on a rater line according to your perception of the impact, where: 0 represents the low impact (i.e. the 0.003 second delay would not bother you at all) and 100 represents high impact (i.e. the delay of 0.003s would hugely worsen your music playing experience)
