  1. The "upgrades" refer to changing the hardware on the first generation robots to that of the newer ones. In principle that would improve tuning performance; in practice, it's fairly major surgery as most if not all of the robot hardware and electronics would have to be replaced. Replacing this with the 3rd generation technology would be exciting; here is what that does in addition to what our first generation can do:

     

    Chameleon Tone TechnologyTM delivers iconic guitar sounds without digital modeling

    The pickup switch toggle is also a knob (“Piezo blend”) that, when turned, determines the blend

    of magnetic and Piezo pickup sounds

    Companion software includes Gibson Chameleon Editor for creating custom sounds and tunings

    available at Gibson.com

    Software is compatible with Mac OS X and Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7

    Robot Interface Pack

     

    It's a lot of stuff! On the one hand I would like to preserve my Gibson Original Robot in original condition, because it's more valuable that way. On the other, I would like to try these new features to see what they can do. So it's a very personal decision!

     

    An '08 SG Robot would be 1st generation.

  2. That's very true. I know a lot of DAW fanboyz who dismiss Pro Tools out of hand for whatever they perceive as faults, but things don't become industry standards for no reason. I've never used Pro Tools but I've seen it working in studios and it can be quite impressive.

     

    I use Presonus Studio One; I find it quite intuitive and it does a great job!

  3. I have issues initiating a charge on my GOR too. When it finally does charge, it only goes about 8 green leds not 10. I could live with that except it goes dead overnight after I charge it, whether I actually use the tuners or not. I am not leaving the MCK pulled out. anyone else having this issue, is it new battery time?

     

    Sounds like a dead battery to me! It is out of stock in the Gibson store, but you could try contacting Guenther5508 on eBay.
