The Shock-Ra-Nome

I have been thinking about designing a DSP metronome that using hard-coded AI, an onboard mic and a instrument pickup, extracts a normalized band beat, and when the player gets off tempo, the metronome shocks the offending musician. I am thinking both 110 and 220 volt models, maybe something custom for Banjo players (440 VAC three phase). I bet it will fix timing issues in a hurry.

    This is pure genius. One consideration is that you have a backup power source. A couple of hits with the 440 might have circuit breakers popping. You'll have the PA go quiet with a banjo player flopping on the stage while the audience wonders "what happened?" Think about it.

    Maybe it is a good idea to have a backup banjo player ready for after an event occurs....
