Arcana Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 A guitar that has an SSH server on it? COOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocre Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It looks like THE FUTURE... but sounds like a drive-thru speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj Mokram Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'd love to see someone like Willrock do some damage with this. But no direct midi-USB input seems like a bad commercial decision imo (even more so when the price isn't known yet). Many keyboards / controllers on the market have both nowadays, and entry-level controllers even tend to favor USB only. Midi only is a little outdated, that's about my only gripe. Also: It looks like THE FUTURE... but sounds like a drive-thru speaker. The thing looks amazing, the concept is cool, but the bad sound demo is kind of a dream crusher.

Chernabogue Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Awesome, but must be difficult to use. I love the possibility of playing and making effects at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also: The thing looks amazing, the concept is cool, but the bad sound demo is kind of a dream crusher. What this really looks like in the end is a multitouch pad alongside a MIDI keyboard. You play notes on the neck, apply effects in 2D using the touch pad. I'm surprised it's MIDI only as well, especially since you'd think that USB parts would be much cheaper. Maybe he only uses hardware synths so USB for him doesn't fit his needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidd Cabbage Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Ugh. Sounds awful like all guitar simulators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockpuppet Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 This sounds a lot like a low quality, distorted version of Reason's "Hellspawn Guitar" patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygecko Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Most likely the sound is being processed by a bitcrusher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noTuX Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'm sorry, but that thing sounds nasty. I would like one if they could make them sound better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salluz Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Lemme think of something expected to say: Fantastic! I thought of this some time before! I've been beaten to the punch! It sounds like a Megatron action figure in a garbage disposal. What a way to fuck up someone else's dreams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 MAMA MIA!!! Wow, if and when somebody gets this who already plays electric guitar, I need to ask them whether it's better to get started on a real guitar or this futuristic nonsense.

I would like one if they could make them sound better. Ugh. Sounds awful like all guitar simulators. It's a controller, folks. The sounds you are hearing are not created by the device you are seeing. I'm surprised it's MIDI only as well, especially since you'd think that USB parts would be much cheaper. Maybe he only uses hardware synths so USB for him doesn't fit his needs. MIDI is the right choice for this device. Keyboard players don't move around much on stage, but guitarists do. MIDI cables can be much longer (15m vs 3m) than USB cables. Also for USB you need a computer, with MIDI you don't; for live performance using a hardware synth is often preferred. edit: also, USB parts are more expensive than MIDI, afaik cheers.

A-RoN Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'd buy it if there was a way to hook it to a guitar pedal and an amp. I tried learning guitar. Everything is great about it except holding the strings makes my long fingers hurt. Here there are no strings which will give my fingers more comfort. Otherwise, no. I've never been into midi guitars since 2003. I'd rather be Rick Roll'd into this thing than research it out online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'd honestly rather have a keytar, I mean I have a MIDI controller, and it's like a piano. I don't need some pretend-a-keyboard to make guitar sounds, I could just pick up a guitar. But a keytar has keys on it. So it's still cool. KEYTAR. I WANTS ONE.

The Biznut Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 It's a controller, folks. The sounds you are hearing are not created by the device you are seeing.MIDI is the right choice for this device. This x1000. Without MIDI this guitar would lose a huge portion of its value for the reasons analoq mentioned. I am working with a local dude who is experimenting with 3D sequences for a live show of sorts. We are thinking of also getting a guitar hero guitar working through a midi adapter so I can rock out on my electric to the music, and he can solo through his synthesizer AND trigger the lighting (light solos! woohoo!) THIS would take that to a whole new level... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 That thing sounded like FL Slayer X_X You givin Slayer too much credit. Actually, now that i think about it, it gives the digital guitar too much credit. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
