Misa Digital Kitara Guitar - NAMM 2012

[tomerGunz]

I think that the haters didn't understand that this is a midi controller for guitarists, not a guitar replacement

[Wallimann]

@tomerGunz I agree!

[witcheryify]

skrillex?

[slugpumper1]

No - I don't think so.

[billclintopolis]

No.

[Adji87]

Seems kinda cool, a bit like a keytar.

[stoob1969]

The guy in the middle of Pendulum plays such an instrument, must be fun to use /watch?v=sl4UGT21jt8

[stoob1969]

Pendulum eat your heart out

[BigEdWo]

It's a long long way to learn to play the guitar. I can't imagine anybody who practiced seriously for years will ever change to such a thing. Well, maybe some do.

[amiryou789]

can you use it for a midi controller?



[Wallimann]

@amiryou789 Yeah

[83CAB83]

Au lieu d'integrer l'écran tactile et tout le software dans la kitare, pourquoi ils ont pas utilisé un ipad avec *plusieurs* applications?

[Wallimann]

@83CAB83 Oui, c'est vrai. Starr Labs développe un truc similaire avec l'IPad. Tu devrais jeter un oeil!

[euga89]

we want the salut guitar!

[Jdudeo]

I was one of the first people to order one of these and have a few videos of it on my channel, plan to do an in-depth review soon.

[Wallimann]

@Jdudeo Cool!

[pabloli84]

Guitar without head looks very sad for me....

[ibanezxiphos700]

how exactly do you use it? what equipment do you need to make it work?

[LeapingDodo]

@ibanezxiphos700 just an amp, the guitar has a built in synth, it is basicly a keyboard in the shape of a guitar.

[ibanezxiphos700]

id buy one

[tanukitejon]

This is more like a toy for people that cant really play the guitar. I agrre with other comments on the midi pickup (from Roland) is much better.

[Wallimann]

@tanukitejon It's really a different type of instrument. Something new. I didn't feel very comfortable with it after thought. I don't know that guitar players will love this, but perhaps it will appeal to a new generation of musicians?

[MidnightPancakes]

What are you thought on the misa vs the yourock?

[Wallimann]

@MidnightPancakes Overall I would say that the Misa is better. It tracks perfectly. But not having any strings was a bit weird to be honest.

As far as midi guitar, I got a chance to play with the GraphTech system and it blows away all the competition in my opinion.

So much that I ordered one. I'll review it as soon as I get it!

[Vercingetorix]

You would have to work on your legato chops to get the best out of it!

Don't know if I could get used to the strings that thing uses :)

[Wallimann]

@Vercingetorix Yeah, the lack of strings is quite strange. Also, the frets were really small I thought.

[skylinrg]

i think using midi pickups on a real guitar feels better

[Wallimann]

@skylinrg I agree!

[TheGuitarSpoon]

I bet a music studio could really benefit with one of these though, since there are so many synths that can be easily used.

[theelfman]

If i recall you reviewed this but werent impressed David?

[Socky42]

@theelfman That was a completely different product

[theelfman]

@Socky42 Ah, right you are. My mistake

[Wallimann]

@theelfman Yeah, the one I didn't like was the Yourockguitar...

[udsahn]

That's a really intriguing advancement in technology. Thanks for sharing buddy! :)

[jimiclaptoncarl18]

Johnny DeMarco guest appearance @ 1:26 xD

[Wallimann]

@jimiclaptoncarl18 That's right! :-)

[TommittajaFIN]

it's funny, "kitara" is actually exactly "guitar" in finnish ;D

[Wallimann]

@TommittajaFIN I wonder if that was on purpose?

[TommittajaFIN]

@Wallimann

oh dare you sarcastically respond? ;D Isn't it japanese? oh well. it just sounds a bit funny calling a guitar "guitar"... mmh it runs on linux though :oo this is some serious tribute to finland or something >_> it's a conspiracy, obviously.

[zeeLibertiner]

@TommittajaFIN Kitara was also a kingdom founded by the Bachwezi Dynasty in Africa...just sayin'...

[TheHeroMaas]

That´s really cool, great for Midi things I guess :D

But nothing can ever compare with a real guitar, not even a future thing like that :)
