From video it doesn't look like a Whammy Bar / Tremolo would be necessary - just move your fingers/hand on that strum pad.]]>Jan 18th 2010 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/misa-digital-guitar-cuts-the-strings-brings-the-noise/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/misa-digital-guitar-cuts-the-strings-brings-the-noise/Jan 18th 2010 3:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/misa-digital-guitar-cuts-the-strings-brings-the-noise/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/misa-digital-guitar-cuts-the-strings-brings-the-noise/
but i guess you can change the output (?)]]>Jan 18th 2010 3:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/misa-digital-guitar-cuts-the-strings-brings-the-noise/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/misa-digital-guitar-cuts-the-strings-brings-the-noise/
Guitars with a secondary MIDI controller built in? Hell yeah! But a touch-based MIDI guitar will not catch on beyond some electronic and experimental musicians.

It's the reasons you can't get pianos with touch sensors instead of keys, the sound will always be slightly... off.. no to mention a lot of playing is done by feel, and a touchscreen simply doesn't provide the kind of feedback reqired for competent playing.]]>Jan 18th 2010 3:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/misa-digital-guitar-cuts-the-strings-brings-the-noise/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/misa-digital-guitar-cuts-the-strings-brings-the-noise/Yeah we need one with 6 strum bars for it to catch on...

This thing is truly amazing. I guess that you can strum it and play chords just like the real thing. I hope so.

Of course, this is Version One and it will evolve and get better but somehow I don;t see Leo fender turning in his grave just yet.

Guitarists should look at this thing just as photographers did in the roll-of-film era when digital cameras first made their appearance. The first digital cameras were not very good back then but look at 'em now.

Man, if only Jimi had had one of these.]]>Jan 18th 2010 4:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/misa-digital-guitar-cuts-the-strings-brings-the-noise/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/misa-digital-guitar-cuts-the-strings-brings-the-noise/Jan 18th 2010 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/misa-digital-guitar-cuts-the-strings-brings-the-noise/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/misa-digital-guitar-cuts-the-strings-brings-the-noise/Not at all.
