I have a tabledit7/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It costs $129 on its own! You could get a Nest Mini, Nest Audio, or Nest Hub for less than that! And those are actual smart home devices. You might want to respond with, “Yeah, but Kellen, the whole point is to attach the tablet, not use the Charging Speaker Dock alone!” To which I would respond – this is the whole point of this piece. It does nothing without the tablet connected. Without the tablet attached, you also can’t Cast audio to the dock, add it to a speaker group, take a call, send a broadcast, or anything else you might use a Nest Audio for. If you were playing media through it and then removed the tablet, audio would stop on the speaker and only carry-on through the tablet. While always plugged into a wall, that speaker – on its own – can’t take Google Assistant commands like your $49 Nest Mini. What happens if you detach the tablet? Again, the docking station, which would cost $129 if you bought it by itself, isn’t capable of anything. Once you slap them together, the dock then charges the tablet (slowly), can trigger a home hub mode on the tablet to give you smart home controls, and then will play music or other media out of the speaker within that was initiated from the tablet. To use the included docking station, you need to attach the Pixel Tablet to it. You see, this docking station that charges and also acts as a speaker, is a worthless powered paperweight when your tablet isn’t attached. Where the Pixel Tablet falls off from meeting the mark it should have set is in the docking station that comes included with the tablet in the box. At 11-inches, it might be the perfect size for a large screened device you’ll use for lengthy periods of time, plus there’s a fingerprint sensor, multiple speakers, and most of the other goods required from a close-to-$500 tablet. The Pixel Tablet has a decent set of specs that pulls from the Pixel 7 line, but does lack a high-refresh rate display we see from Samsung’s best tablets. With the Pixel Tablet, Google is giving us a device that can act as a stand-alone tablet, play media through an included speaker, and then (in theory) become an improved home hub controller over something like a Nest Hub. There’s been a couple of opinions already written about this, and I hate to pile on, but man, I just couldn’t help but share some concerns of my own. While I’m certainly interested in testing a Pixel Fold and have been deep in testing a Pixel 7a for a couple of weeks, the Pixel Tablet was the device I could see seamlessly slotting into my day-to-day life as a multi-purpose unit that would also let me ditch the Nest Hub Max in my kitchen that has become increasingly more annoying to use.īut since the Pixel Tablet was unveiled and all details spilled, it seems like Google cut a couple of corners or at the very least didn’t quite fulfill the true potential of the idea. I would like to have confirmation from you as experts that this important reform is useful and makes sense.Of all the devices that Google showed off at I/O last week, the Pixel Tablet was the first I ran to pre-order. Of course, it is TablEdit that will take care of listing the effects from the existing notes when the dialog box is opened and apply the effects selected by the user to the notes according to the copedent. This will incidentally avoid incompatibilities (case of two pedals that affect the same string in a different direction or case of an effect that affects two strings according to the copedent and that is only applied to one of them) The choice made must affect all the notes in the chord on the concerned strings. So we need a different dialog box instead of this one: ![]() However, when a pedal or a lever is activated, all the notes played on a concerned string are affected and the only pitch variations allowed are those provided by the copedent. We can even modify the effect punctually without respecting the copedent. In TablEdit, we apply currently the effect note by note without taking into account the notes located on an adjacent string. The copedent definition is correct but the entry of pedals and levers (effects) is wrong. It seems to me that there is a major design problem in TablEdit that can be fixed quite easily. ![]() Gradually I understand better the PSG (which I don't play). ![]()
