Wii Guitar Pitch Bend

[casey2754]

cool! :D

[Reedsmama]

what exactly is the acceleration data on the wii remote?

[jellio673448]

WTF OMG FUCKING AWESOME

[jared81799]

damn you for keeping this secret...anybody know where to find a install faq on this.

[0zzyfan44]

Cool !!!

[julieail]

Do you guys have the code anywhere?

[xTWINo]

Dude that's so SICK!

[stratorock03]

that's so awesome!! how can I get this to work on my guitar?

[Wiggimus]

Damn that was cool!

[Ultimaxkeyblade]

starpower

[Gershom123]

why don't you just bend it!

[ynglink]

'Cause it would just...well...umm...

Wii bending's cool? It's cool though.

[BeastOfMetal1989]

Screw this shit, do something for PS3.

[fluffyguitarist]

PS3's are SHIT. Just like your gay boy bands you like.

[BeastOfMetal1989]

No the Wii is shit. The controller's design is broken, just like all the third-party shovelware out there. BTW, Nintendo has sold out and betrayed the hardcore gaming community by working so hard just to get 30 million douchebags who'll just put the console aside for the PS3 once they realize how bad the Wii is.

[fluffyguitarist]

whatever you say jackass. Haha you wasted 600 dollars on a PS3. HAHA!

[BeastOfMetal1989]

I wasted money, huh? Then try to explain why 4 out of every 10 Wii games is rated under 50% on Metacritic, while only 1 out of every 6 PS3 games shares the same dubious distinction. The only good Wii games are the ones starring Link, Samus and Mario.

Meanwhile the PS3 has already created several awesome new protagonists-like Nathan Hale and Nariko-while also giving established heroes like Ratchet & Clank and Solid Snake a new throne to rule from.

[fluffyguitarist]

Well i really don't care because video games are a waste of money. I really DONT CARE. You're just a big baby who has to have his way. And I bet everyone who talks to u probably thinks you are a retard and an ass so shut up.

[kieran369]

dude, stop arguing about which console is better, in some peoples perspectives, "ITS NOT COOL!"

[BeastOfMetal1989]

Sheesh, I haven't been here in 2 weeks; I'd actually forgotten about this thread. And besides, you'd be on my side if you ever threw a Wii-mote through the wall after it wouldn't respond right.

[Wiggimus]

Really? My PS3 broke on me twice in only less than a year. I got my Wii day 1 and I love it. Play it regularly to this day without any problems with it not "responding right" nor have I "thrown it". Brawl, Mario Kart & No More Heroes are 3 of the best games to come out this year for the Wii. Not to mention that 4 of the 5 bestselling games of 2008 are Wii games.

BTW, 360 destroies PS3. Gears of War 2 far exceeds all PS3 games that aren't MGS4, just naming one.

[BeastOfMetal1989]

Obviously, you were having bad luck w/ your PS3, then, cause I've had mine for six months now and it hasn't even glitched. Plus, Brawl happens to star Mario, Link, AND Samus, which places it in the "good games" category I mentioned before. And one more thing, RFOM and R2 are way better than GOW or GOW2.

[Wiggimus]

Seriously? Resistance? It was OK at best; it had horrible multiplayer. I've not played R2 yet, though. But FoM is nowhere near the game GoW 1 or 2 is.

But just because a game has recurring characters doesn't make it bad. You used Ratchet & Clank as an example and they've had, what, 10 games within 5 years? I officially took your "Mario" card away. Plus, I DID say No More Heroes, an awesome game if you'd give it a chance.

[BeastOfMetal1989]

OK at best?! You're clearly braindead.  RFOM's 40-player deathmatches were fucking awesome!

[Wiggimus]

40 player means nothing when all you have access to are 2 guns and 1 grenade type (in a majority of online matchups) in a game that boasts weapon variety.

Lame.

[BeastOfMetal1989]

Once again, I think that problem's unique to you, cause most of the deathmatches I was in had access to multiple weapon types.

[BeastOfMetal1989]

Additionally, just cause it sells great doesn't mean it's a good game.

[Wiggimus]

Oh, so that means games like Super Smash Bros Brawl, Halo 3, GTA4 and Call of Duty 4 were bad games, right? I mean, that is what you're trying to convey, is it not?

[BeastOfMetal1989]

No, cause those games are all good. But Halo 3 is totally irrelevant to this conversation cause it doesn't appear on any console other than 360. And COD4, an awesome game on PS3/360, sucks on Wii (bad controls and graphics, and no real online mode) cause they don't have an equal chance to develop it for Wii due to Nintendo's restricions on third parties. And besides, I keep telling you Brawl is better than most Wii games since Nintendo makes it, and all their first-party stuff usually rocks.

[smashbrosbrawler3]

how do u do this

[earll2001]

This sounds like the korg ax3000g ESS controls.pretty cool stuff

[spamtron]

holy crap

[sk8inleo]

simply brilliant!

[beauclaus]

really cool but a terrible band name

[breakdown2218]

I can't believe that regular people utilize the wiimote 10x better than Nintendo ever does. But NO! Instead we get Wii Sports 2 while this guy makes a guitar of the future.

[vectorman1234]

Nice.

[Tazzlyn]

Holy crap.

Let's be friends.

[afdonier]

Why not buy a wah pedal?

[taxo]

.....why....

[CharlesPeirce]

Now they just need a guitar effects kit that turns crappy music into good music.

[brddork]

it's kind of like an opposite b-bender but for every string haha.

[MetaLz1337]

that was really cool :> Not that you really need it to make those sounds but it certainly looks like its easier

[Jamer54321]

I think thats really smart what he did. I have not seen that done before but it is really creative and genius haha.

[matt311rocks]

fucking awesome.

[chumrock08]

first i've seen this done. real cool. now i have excuse to buy a wii. neat trick

[93yoyo360]

keep working on that its sounds great !

the next tom morello !

yoyo

[gamma68]

Why don't you just learn how to play the instrument properly instead of playing with your wii??

[mikefromsantee]

Is that what you tell people who play the guitar using a capo? A capo makes it easier for a guitarist to play in different keys. He's found an innovative way to make bending pitches easier and he's working on taking full advantage of it, much like how brass players use plungers and other mutes to change the sounds of their instruments. Sounds like the mark of a great musician, or at least a great inventor, to me.

[jackaboonie]

wow. this is really cool

[trolah]

Amazing =D

a Tom Morello's new wave haha

[b2j135]

OMG...that is awesome...

I just might support you by buying you CD ;)

[corovanmoro]

The WIi remote looks so stupid on there. :P

[joeb1823]

I liked the preview of your song at the end is their a way to listen to the whole thing before you buy?

[ScreaminLuke]

it seems like he just has a wah pedal

[corovanmoro]

Do you even know what a wah-pedal does?

[ScreaminLuke]

yea, the guitarist in my band has one, it just seems kinda similar as to what it does to the sound of the guitar

[jb007]

do you?

[corovanmoro]

Wah-pedals make the "wah-wah" sound effect (thus the name), yet he's pitch bending, and using some crazy echo stuff... There's none of wah sounding stuff there. ScreaminLuke must be referring to another type of pedal.

[jb007]

o damn, I have to read more carefully when I look at these, I read "whammy" instead of "wah" cause I just looked at the "w." But your right, its nothing like a wah pedal, its like a whammy (which is a pitch bender)

[corovanmoro]

Ohh, I see, that clear things up. Yeah, it definitely simulates the sound of a whammy bar.

[smartguyreviews]

drummer looked like he was having the time of his life

[pfrigerio]

Tom Morello will love this xD

[espiriguidiberto]

great stuff on applying technology

good work and crazy music

[geoffcbassett]

I'm willing to bet this gets adapted by some major bands.

[MASTERCHIEFLAWLZ]

a wesley willis shirt! nice.

[sharktamer]

Yeah, I was loving that too.

[SoulMS]

Fuck dude, this is freakin' awesome!

The people who posted that crap below are probably jealous they didn't think of it XD

[lvivsk]

this is awesome! seriously great idea. always cool to see new guitar effects; too much is rehashed these days. great job, man!

[TecLogik]

useless....

[lazychump]

really cool for live performance showmanship and awesome use of technology, but i think i'll stick to my foot on the pedal.

[adickson311]

That's pretty creative from a technical standpoint. You have an excellent band. I have to agree that you're live demo of the wii pitch bender is just strange. I'm sure you could do better. Anyway thanks for the video. Way to be creative!

[kdw75]

Ummm.... ok. Looks pretty retarded having to jerk your guitar around like that. Takes away from the focus, which should be the music!

[adisharr]

Neat idea but the execution is lacking in anything I would call 'music'. What not just get a guitar synthesizer?

[mk545]

Well, crap, he's using Max/Msp, it might actually be legit then.

[mk545]

Too bad it's totally fake, and he's just stepping on a whammy pedal the entire time.

[dochmbi]

I'm here from engadget.

[gotrixx5806]

me too

[B3llyD4nc3r]

HOLY CRAP!!!!! thats amazing!!!!!!!

[bpholter]

Wow, impressive that you figured that out. I think a wammy bar is still the way to go though but I am a guitar purist. What's the song playing at the very end of the video?

[LoveandEqualityToAll]

neat

[kiddjam]

Then you have a lot of WEIRD movements.

[BrYanwithaY1986]

AWESOME

[Claan22]

That's really cool.

[tponce]

I wonder what kind of cool sounds would be generated if I hooked up this Wii to my peg leg!

[TheImposer]

Pretty sweet!

All hack-a-day redirects, REPLY!
