Misa Digital Instruments Kitara

[DEAPUnderground]

I hate music composed on your computer and when it's played "Live, all your doing is plugging in a laptop to some speakers and pressing a button or two to slightly variate the sound. But this instrument takes skill and talent every time you make the music.

[philjes1]

me too!!!

[TheMetalViking666]

ooh, i want one of these so bad, i get sick when i realize i don't have one..

[darkshredder951]

i'd love to get my hands on one of these. i prefer the feel and tone that a real guitar delivers but damn i could get so many effects out of this. i can see this become popular in the future.

[CaptainWunderBaum]

:D pendulum uses it :D

[ChristianRocks666]

i can see potential in this product.. not bad at all !

[TheReverantChoir]

FAKE TALENT

[zellator]

I hope this really works! I love the last song!

[Theloniusification]

Perfect to play Robot Rock!

[Alette]

i play guitar ... and i wantone of these !!!!!!

[talpatore]

That thing can bring the psychedelic word to new levels ...

[Aardwoof]

Fucking, GENIUS!!!!

[CelestialShroom]

What's that last tune he plays? Anyone know?

[Gorpendor]

Kitara is finnish and means Guitar. EBIN :----DDD

[SwirlyBrokenHearts]

its a masterpiece of our time, i cant wait to get the steel version because i like heavy guitars/bass feels better on my lap

[SwirlyBrokenHearts]

its like you can get software that makes music on your pc like flstudio. only purist realfags never see the benefit of technology and what it can do, all neatly demonstrated here. its hard to understand WHy people hate electronic things, one of the top comments in another video "its a plastic guitar with an ipad in it" so what? an instrument serves one purpose only, a tool to create music, not fucking appearance. i hate that shallowness as well

[monzr93]

@SwirlyBrokenHearts It's not about appearance, and it's not about hating technology. The sound just isn't the same... And it takes more skill to master an actual instrument than a digital replica of it. It's kinda like microwave food and your mom's cooking: when you have a microwave meal, it could taste good, sure; but when your mom makes you food, you appreciate her effort. Same thing applies here I guess. Instruments > synthesizers. I hope this clarifies the purists' point of view

[SwirlyBrokenHearts]

@monzr93 the company do not claim it as a replacement of conventional guitar. also the sound presets are long and far between in comparison, where you can sculpt it on pc.skill isn't synonymous with good music! but i understand your comparison with the meal scenario but it does depend, i prefer junk food but i eat healthy cus i have to, the same restriction are not present here. a guitar that cost 10k does not mean its any better than one that cost 1k its always about function

[SwirlyBrokenHearts]

@monzr93 the same argument is said for extended-range guitars where players may not use all strings but want the width and/or length of the neck for comfort in the hands and arms and only care to use lowest-notes. whats to say an 8 string guitar is any less than the original 6? its just "interpreted" ultimately all instruments do the same job

[HairballPaul]

@monzr93 Synthesizers are instruments. Saying that instruments are greater than synthesizers is like saying fish is greater than cod.

[f00tballfever]

@monzr93 nicely said.

[zoomG5]

I'm a bassist/guitarist this is a real instrument the same way a dj's turntable is if it makes music (or sounds) that are not pre-recorded (by that i mean the full song) than it is an instrument

[SlyCooper92]

That's an expensive toy ...

[shredmaster100]

just an updated keyboard guitar from the 80,s i hate those things like the fake electronic drums

[ihatecivicssomuch]

@shredmaster100 whats so fake about an electric drum set? use any sound sample you want into any pad. requires just as much energy and rhythm as a acoustic set. and you can play them anywhere with volume control.

[shredmaster100]

its a good toy for guitar hero fans but seriously you wouldnt want to take on slash or brian may with it would you because i bet u any money u like u would get owned m8

[CAPTCUTTHROAT]

Funny, this thing doesn't do the guitar samples well, but does do the synth sounds well. I play keys, and I use guitar sounds like the Electri6ity plugin for fun, to emulate guitar - how funny is it that keys and guitar have crossed paths like this, what a phenomenal time to be making music

[addg1]

That's actually pretty cool

[AaahImOnFire11]

kill urself pl0z

[metafull]

what is that song the first???



[kssork]

IT RUNS LINUX

[gaiolinn]

Please, change that thing's external aspect into something that doesn't resemble my beloved guitar please..

[jbbon]

I have a Roland Gr-20 that I love. This looks pretty interesting!

[BrotherBloat]

lol guitar hero luive...

[learrus]

Finally someone invented the future.

[FrankySG1]

WE WANT MORE VIDEO

[Valafar0X]

come on!!! this is NOT a guitar!!!!!!

[Ru1eBritannia]

that's the coolest shit ever!

[xDrikenx]

im in luv with this midi =)

[geffel]

I can do all of this with my $199 YouRock Guitar

[Stelthbanana]

Do want. Really. The synthesizer effects are amazing, and it looks like so much fun.

[xNothingleft]

what is the name of the song 0:07 - 0:14 please ?

[kissgto0588]

0:16~0:26 what's music~

[srsfiter]

this one is kind of cool

[peterroen]

that is not an instrument

[mrsocksman]

@peterroen Yeah it is, it's a synthesizer

[peterroen]

@mrsocksman witch is not an instrument...

[larry52333]

@peterroen Wow. Your ignorant. I hate guitarfags who think that anything digital can't be considered an instrument. We're in 2011, bro and you're a caveman. It's not like you can't use both.

[DelingFF]

@larry52333 RIGHT

[CAPTCUTTHROAT]

@larry52333 I just checked Wikipedia and did not find a definition for "Guitarfag"

[larry52333]

@CAPTCUTTHROAT That was clever. Give yourself a pat on the back, champ.

[nukeman82]

@CAPTCUTTHROAT haha you actually checked for definition haha lol you loser

[Darkgamer987]

@larry52333

Personally, I'm a guitarist, and this is the best thing i've ever seen.

[larry52333]

@peterroen Also, you spelled "which" wrong.

[golden1324]

This kinda takes all the skill outta guitar doesn't it?

[AlexTheSoutherner]

@golden1324 Not really. It's made for pro guitar players who want to make synthesizer sounds. It still requires you to know your way all the way around a fret board.

[Xho3546]

@golden1324 Not necessarily, any guitarist will still play guitar rather than a Misa. I'd still get one even though I play guitar.

[CuttingEdgeMetal]

@Xho3546 I'd sell both my guitars for this thing if they were worth enough...

[davethehostage]

Isn't this kind of just a keyboard/synthesizer in a "guitar" layout?

[soimnancy]

some riffs reminds me to boards of canada, like ambiental music

[serdar213]

Dr alban used it many years ago

[TheJoulupukki97]

kitara = guitar in finnish :D

[SasuKrow]

@TheJoulupukki97 wow it means guitar in Bulgarian too o_o

[Porly62]

The synthie stuff is kickass...

[MrJMrJay]

Very innovative product.....Awesome!!! New Music coming

[TakeOnePDX]

play a real guitar flamer!

[richardxx9011]

this is retarded.. cool but retarded

[Venmmar1]

it isn't guitar... these are the harmonica ...

[streedadam3]

its a plastic guitar with an iPad in it?

[boomiboom]

@streedadam3 no, since it is linux-based

[MrVerbalhydrogen]

@streedadam3 You've only known about the ipad for a year.................

[DerTeufel0707]

@streedadam3 SHUSH, Apple will sue these guys if they find out! |-O

[metaldemonseanknels]

why couldn't guitar hero come out with guitars like this instead? i would hate it WAY less than i do already.

[moonrazk]

That would be awesome on a post-hardcore band <3

[realtv2011]

oh shit wow

[LetsTakeArideOut]

AHHH just imagine , no more recording shit on dnb dub step, you could play it live on this shit!!

[loc69420]

Ill be impressed when you do skrillex on that piece of shit

[FinalNinjaZero0]

@loc69420 its already done, check out in the other videos...

[PenguInspiration]

@loc69420 It's a synthesizer, not a wave alteration program. Dubstep isn't as much skill with technology as it is just humming up a good way for the song to go. What could you possibly find that constitutes this instrument as a "piece of shit"? I see stellar build quality, no lagging, and some pretty cool features for a guitarist looking in to synths without learning piano.

[MrIhaveacat]

not for rock, but maybe techno without the computers...

[victorlitoc]

qe porqeria kita el echo qe seea un guitarra

[paintcuber]

fail...

[20sanfoe]

Sick!

[XtremeMotionOficial]

0:34 skrillex

[BMXBOBO]

pendulum use one these

[garannydude]

@BMXBOBO not quite, Rob Swire use a Yamaha EG-AG(if i remember correctly), its a guitar synth, but its not as complex as this one. Plus. it got a sort of strings, not a screen;P

[Hazzrine]

@garannydude Nah he uses a Z-tar made by Starr Labs :)

[hrrme]

gay... 

[Soulkinit]

The guitar for peoples without any talent...

The guitar for Justin Bieber

[TheArthuryk]

GO PLAY A FUCKIN' REAL INSTRUMENT!!!!

[iFoxyFox]

@TheArthuryk this is harder to play than a real guitar you know.

[AdyTheNobody]

@TheArthuryk That IS a real instrument. Just cause it's synth doesn't mean it isn't an instrument. You would be calling keyboards a fake instrument. Along with the Keytar. It simply has the looks of a guitar, which obviously makes it more comfortable for those who know how to use a real guitar to use this.There's a variety of styles for people's comfort. It's for looks. But it's still an instrument.

[TheArthuryk]

@AdyTheNobody no my friend, a real intrument is a REAAAL guitar (like a les paul) not this fake shit!

[SuperGabriel143]

guitar para priguiçoso



[6stringplaya77]

seems cool....but kinda annoying at the same time....i would just like to have a real guitar...and have keyboard to do the keyboard stuff..w/e...

[keywork00]

dude id love to play this :D

[BIGpav018]

Kaoss Pad much? It's a cool idea, but a bit useless. Still really cool

[amir2e]

The Idea is cool but I'll stick with a real guitar for now.

[metalhead6777777]

looks like keytars meeting the future...

[MaynnTheMarshmallow]

watch some fucking talentless pop star use that, just stick to the normal guitars people.... that is a real instrument

[vladnuke]

@MaynnTheMarshmallow This looks a bit harder to play than a guitar, and I play guitar and synth.

[uglybutt1997]

@MaynnTheMarshmallow ?

[Bconway11100]

@MaynnTheMarshmallow pull your head out of you ass. it takes more skill to play this than a regular guitar.

[MaynnTheMarshmallow]

@Bconway11100 haha no it doesnt, learn a bar chord on a guitar dude. It takes ages.On this, u just place your fingers on the board.

[larry52333]

@MaynnTheMarshmallow "Learn a bar chord on a guitar. It takes ages."

What is this I don't even.

[EnDZYm3]

@MaynnTheMarshmallow

It's not a guitar at all, you relentless shithead. It's a midi controller that has a guitar-inspired shape.

Would you have said the same thing for a keyboard midi controller, even though it's essentially the same concept, only with pianos?

No. You fucking wouldn't have, because you're a metric fuck-ton's worth of stupidass.

Understand what it is you're looking at before you fling mud at it.

[MaynnTheMarshmallow]

@EnDZYm3 haha nice essay mate. You can go fuck yourself

[Ultranothing]

@EnDZYm3 Someone's off their meds!

[EnDZYm3]

@MaynnTheMarshmallow

pfffffftttttthahahahahhaha

[hollowman113]

future..is now people..

[mimeywimey]

@hollowman113 WRONG, future was yesterday!

[bubabo00]

c'est cool pour l'exploration musicale mais bon ça remplacera jamais une bonne gratte en bois ^^

[Whatizloves]

@Saintoflostcauses72, now dont go all gay on me)

[zahitohajime]

0:32 ... it's reeeeeeeaaal good ! 

[brittloveschloe]

now we know how eve online makes all their soundtracks

[TheNirvana55]

Oh yeah change strings... no FUCK

[drewmic323]

Any guitar player that doesn't at least think this is cool probably play metal.

[AlexB375]

@drewmic323 i play metal and i agree, i would rather play a string gutiar than a digital one...

but that doesn't stop me from thinking that this is is awesome

[drewmic323]

@AlexB375 oh shit, i just made a gernarlzation based on a genre, sorry man that was a low blow

[iinneeddaannaammee]

@AlexB375 lord knows if i got ona these it would be SOOOOO scratched on the screen from failed attempts at double picking XD

[BeStDuMm]

if a guitar does not have strings its not a guitar ..

[kello417]

@BeStDuMm  your right it isnt a guitar its a kitara

[DawgMagnet]

@BeStDuMm This isn't a guitar, no, it's a digital instrument.

[alkleiza1995]

@BeStDuMm so when you're changing strings on a guitar, it's not a guitar anymore?

[chrislovesbass]

@BeStDuMm yes ok thats true. but this. THIS IS A KITARA :P

[2guitars1purpose]

@BeStDuMm It's not supposed to be a guitar, it's just a new instrument. I have been playing guitar for years and have deep love for guitars, but I have the highest respect for this instrument because it's not meant to replace the guitar, but a new instrument to create new sounds for a new branch of music.

[fonarte]

@BeStDuMm That's why it's called a "Kitara"

[andresoacuna]

@fonarte Exactly what I was thinking lol.

[FroZClay]

@BeStDuMm Stop being so conservative, old man.

[SasuKrow]

@BeStDuMm Well who said it was a guitar -__-, it's a Kitara , a synthesizer shaped like a guitar....

[MrEdThousand]

if this is real, all this would need to make it an accepted instrument, is some sort of theory.

[Boccongino1]

total crap

[ddirtydave]

pass....Amidi guitar into a synth program does all the same stuff.

[djmaxxl]

Ipad + guitar = this thing XD

[bungaecong]

give it to Guthrie Govan and see what he comes up with......bet it would be unreal....

[kaynel1585]

Good bye Break String

[xxRandomnameguyxx]

looks and sounds cool, but how do you palm mute?

[spaden2112]

Uh, this is awesome.

[Nacgt]

NOOB , cant use a real guitar u_u

[8interstate]

omg wie schlecht.

[VavakiTH]

:O omg what is next? a box make singers sing well... shit they already did it ...

[IMaDEM0N]

nah man, I have to look at my other hand too much to make sure it's in the right fretting positions...if I had to look at the other hand at the same time to make sure it was over the correct spot on the "Strings" (which aren't really strings per-say), it would royally fuck up my whole playing....

[klownn]

anyone who calls this a music instrument needs a brain transplant or something

[Saintoflostcauses72]

@klownn how is this not an instrument? it has just as many frets as a real guitar the only difference is it can play more then just guitar sounds. If it makes music, it's an instrument.

[RammliedGaming]

I would love to have one of these, not to actualy write the music for my band with but to play with, it looks endlessly awesome!

[todd8333]

Yes we all know that everything is computerized now but this is just lame and a embaresment to all guitar players, I been playing guitar for 25 years and I got one of these just for the hell of it and it is just a lame excuse for people to be lazzy and think they can play the gutar, it is a video game and nothing diffrent than guitar hero end of story. And by the way is my english is not perfect do not commet on it i am Spanish and just learning english.

[metalboy5150]

@todd8333

It sounds to me like you totally, completely, and entirely missed the point of this instrument. It's NOT a guitar, nor is it intended to BE a guitar. It's also not a game. It's a synthesizer and MIDI controller that happens to be in the shape of a guitar, to make it easier for guitarists (who don't know how to play or don't care to play a traditional keyboarded synth) to use them. It can't be compared to a guitar anymore than it can be compared to a piano or a drum set. Get it right.

[Saintoflostcauses72]

@todd8333 You obviously don't own one if you think it's a game. It's an instrument even if it's electronic and has as many frets as a real guitar, you just strum with it differently.

[EnDZYm3]

@todd8333

You're stupid.

[todd8333]

@EnDZYm3 your a fag

[EnDZYm3]

@todd8333

You're*

[garbageday]

im selling mine on ebay for $750 someone buy it NOW!!!

[noirejued]

how much did you buy that crap.. i love it though..

[SynysterBeast24]

I'm a guitarist (or guitar player as many of you put) and I think this is cool. Whether it is viewed as a toy, synthesizer or guitar-replacement, I'd like to buy one.

Anyone who plays an instrument would appreciate another person that plays one too because they should know that no matter which it is, it takes skill, passion and practice to learn. Except for the triangle. And maybe the tamberine. Those just suck.

[qweraszxas]

this is a substitute for synths and keyboards. guitar must have strings, to feel how your fingers play above them, to do different techniques, intensities and more...

it's a good instrument, but will not replace the guitar

[AGxwxwx]

Не фыгова !

[eleckolocote]

seriously people this isnt a game

is a midi synthethizer and its made for

music that its not played with a normal guitar

and it seems to be just as hard to play

in my opinion it looks harder to play since you dont get like 20 frets and 6 strings no

the thing has like 1000 buttons in total

just accept that its an instrument ok

i play the guitar and i would love to have this instrument

too

[eatenbyzombies]

@eleckolocote

24 frets

[baadshepherd]

@eleckolocote 24 frets with 6 buttons per fret, 144 buttons, just like a guitar. In fact this is a synthesizer designed for people more comfortable with a guitar type interface in comparison to a keyboard style one.

[thehornypuppy]

@eleckolocote I second that...

[sodafeen]

@eleckolocote

you are a thousand times correct. Jesus take the wheel!

[sarkasmi83]

I'd be playing my flute like a pro and suddenly a game comes out where you play the flute at some point and I'd be like "HERECY!!!!! THIS ISN'T REAL FLUTE HEROISM. THIS IS DESTROYING THE FUTURE OF FLUTE PLAYERS AS WANNABE FLUTE PLAYERS ARE JUST ACTING LIKE FLUTEPLAYERS IN A GAME.. AAARGH I'M DYYYYING"... Or that I'd start boycotting whistles and other blowing instruments as a purist.

Exactly, it'd be fucking stupid. And that's what guitar players are doing. And it's: Just. As. Stupid.

[sarkasmi83]

And someone said guitar hero and misa kitara are both just ways for people without talent to act cool like a guitarist...

Well let me tell you; You guitar players don't appear to be as fucking cool as you make yourself out to be. Actually, most people who don't own a guitar would hate a fucking guitar enthusiast, playing his songs, forcing them to listen.

Just play and shut the hell up - it's not that fucking hard.

How hilarious would it be if I acted like that while playing a fucking flute?

[sarkasmi83]

...continued: And I say "toy" because they claim this is one.

Why is it that a guitar = BIG fucking deal. Sacred. Holy. Anyone or anything resembling a guitar needs to be crushed, any new ideas must be destroyed and games about guitars need to be annihilated, as it .. somehow rapes actual guitar players in their pink starfish?

AND

Every other instrument = Musical instrument you can have fun with. Awesome. No big deal.

You fucking guitar purists are just hilarious....
