SoftPot Homemade MIDI Guitar
Published on Aug 7, 2013 girtnessshroom·1 video
"Sorry for low sound quality, low video quality, my chronic mumbling, and generally low production values.
This is a video about a prototype of a sort of MIDI guitar I made. For want of a better name I'm calling it a "SoftPot" guitar because the main component that distinguishes it from a normal MIDI are the long touch sensitive strips called SoftPots. They are like normal potentiometers that you find under most controller knobs, but in strip form.
I appreciate that there are several similar instruments (MIDI guitars) that you can just buy off the shelf, but I never found one that was fretless, and I think this homemade version turned out a good deal cheaper. Plus, making stuff is fun.
Post any questions you have in the comments and I'll try my best to answer them all.
