Looks pretty nice. I am not in a position to spend $$ at this point, but if
I were, I would look at it...good luck with it.

Hi Group,


Glad you are still there.


As you may know I have been working on guitar controllers for 35+ years. I
have a new one that uses fret scanning as well as advanced signal analysis.


It is close to ready but I want to get people's feedback before committing
(or being committed, which is certainly deserved).


Check out this video. These are three players who showed up and we just
started rolling video. They have never played the controller before. Audio
is just room feed and very little guitar sound mixed in so you tell what is
actually going synth wise. Using Ableton Live.

It will require a dedicated guitar and sends USB to a computer. But most
people (IMHO) who are serious control seekers (as opposed to Roland on the
floor fans) want to access all of the great synths and DAW apps out there.
And with more MPE synths coming on line, it will be easier than ever to plug
and play. 


I'll probably have to sell it for ~ $2000 with a high quality guitar. (I
have been building instruments since the Zeta violin and did the Mirror 6
controller in the late '80s). 


I welcome feedback and comments. I know this will not be able to make
everyone happy and provide every feature you might want, but my goal is to
get faultless MIDI control over synths. I finally think I have done it.
