The Moog Guitar Model E1-M with MIDI

The Moog Guitar has opened musicians minds, ears and fingers to a new universe of guitar expression, creating an incredibly intimate experience that connects players directly to the strings of the guitar. The spirit of sonic exploration it kindled has led many intrepid guitarists to imagine the possibilities of combining its ground-breaking innovations with MIDI guitar technology.

I think this is for the guitarist who wishes he had a synth but can't play the keyboard.

@keysB3P Not if it's being played by a skilled and creative guitarist.

[keysB3P]

@abigorswhispers Yes sir you are able to do just that!

@V5Blanks its not right controlling synth with guitar synth meant to be keyboard and if guitars will have control on synth who will play Mini Moog in band.thanks god they did not make it with Hammond organ too

[Doggabone]

@Soulfree2008 There's more than one signal path. The Moog guitar has normal electric guitar signal, onboard electronic processing, and MIDI out. The MIDI adds to a guitar that is already unique among guitars. The stack of signals makes some multi-layered sounds possible that would be difficult or impossible using only soft synths. The electronics mean that you can also get sounds you don't get layering the guitar signal with a Roland guitar synth. And most guitarists are not keyboardists, also.

[V5Blanks]

@abigorswhispers Well, yes and no. Some of us aren't very good at keyboard so, for me, it would be much easier to control a synth with a guitar. Remember, keyboard is just a conventional way of controlling a synthesizer. There's no reason not to control one with a wind instrument or a guitar.

Plus it's also a standalone guitar and not just a midi controller.

[V5Blanks]

@resagolira the point is more to get a guitar that has total control over all sustain (or lack of sustain). It is a normal guitar, too, it just can also control a synthesizer as a bonus feature (and, because you can have infinite sustain, that allows you to play midi instruments more realistically because synthesizers generally have that capability while guitars (besides the moog guitar) do not.

Also, why is Ibanez more of a real guitar compared to this? Isn't Rickenbacker more classic?

[abigorswhispers]

@colorform2113 Maybe I'm wrong but isn't it just the same as a keyboard, or almost ? I mean, you could all just pull out those sounds from a keyboard.... No ?

i hope matt bellamy gets a hold of one of these.
