DigiTech, a manufacturer of guitar and bass processors, has chosen QNX Software Systems to provide the real-time operating system for its JamMan solo, stereo and delay pedals.
QNX is providing its comprehensive software platform for the JamMan line of pedals, giving users increased control and a more varied feature set. The Neutrino RTOS is a modular, industrial-strength operating system that offers high reliability and fast, predictable response times. Highly scalable, the RTOS has a proven track record in everything from television remotes to space shuttles.
“DigiTech, much like our artist base, is deeply committed to innovation and not simply resting on accomplishments. Enabling new levels of functionality and creativity on our pedals is a goal we continually seek to emulate. Now with processing powered by QNX Neutrino, we can offer higher performance, greater functionality and unsurpassed reliability,” stated Rob Urry, president of the Harman Music Group. “With QNX we are putting the same technology that is depended on by organisations such as Audi, Lockheed Martin and NASA into our effect pedals.”
QNX technology is highly popular in the automotive infotainment market, where it ships in more than 200 vehicle models. Brands such as Acura, BMW, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, GMC, Infiniti, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen now use QNX technology as the software foundation for their digital instrument clusters, hands-free systems, multimedia head units, 3D navigation systems or rear-seat entertainment products.
The reliability of the QNX Neutrino RTOS comes from its true microkernel architecture, which runs every driver, protocol stack, file system and application in the safety of memory-protected user space, outside the operating system kernel. As a result, individual components can fail and be automatically restarted without affecting other components or the kernel.
