Electric Pick Synth-New for Guitar-Circuit Bent-Theremin

Bring your guitar playing to a new dimension with
The Electric Pick Synth.

A one of a kind new instrument that utilizes
the natural picking style to send out two different
audio signals:

1- The pick itself is a passive circuit that has a
percussive attack at the output. This signal
can be routed to any pedal or effect for
interesting results. This signal can also
trigger MIDI notes through devices with CV input

2- The Synth is a light sensitive oscillator circuit that
is controlled by the pick with a photo-cell and contact
to the guitar. It has a switchable range capable
of "low creaks" sweeping to "high screams".
It runs on a 9volt battery and has a
built in speaker.

The unit is seated near the tail of the guitar
behind the bridge. The guitar contact hookup
wire is connected to the bridge.
The pick's natural plucking produces the attack
at the pick output. The synth voice is "cut" when a
string is struck and the photo-cell varies the
pitch at the synth output.

This is an experimental instrument with a
range of possibilities.

Features: -Electric Pick -Light Sensitive/Contact Oscillator Circuit
-2 Outputs
-2 Photo-Cells
-1 Pitch/On-Off
-Tone range switch
-8 Ohm Speaker
-Speaker On-Off switch
-Guitar contact hookup wire
-Runs on a 9volt battery
-Adhesive strips


Ideas for use:

-Route the pick into a reverb and a wah-wah pedal for an instant analog filter
-Dazzle the your band-mates with 3 outputs from one guitar
-Trigger MIDI instruments and ambiences
-Turn that annoying "pick-tick" into an original sound
-Summon alien vessels and let their flashing lights play your synth!

Be neat to hear what Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp could do with this... also Henry Kaiser and Fred Frith.

[musicsoluble]

Thanks for the response. Yes, it would be fantastic to hear what Adrian Belew and Fripp would do with this...I would love to find out! I'm not sure who Henry Kaiser is. Thanks for the rating.

it sounds like the guitar is fighting being being played.

It would look better on a steampunk guitar. The design doesn't blend in with this one too well.

[SordidWaif]
