Ztar Z6S-XPA Deluxe MIDI guitar w/ Ableton Live matrix

via this auction

"This Ztar Z6S-XPA Deluxe MIDI guitar from Starr Labs offers unsurpassed ultra high-speed MIDI performance and creative control over the most robust software/hardware for today’s guitarists. The Ztar differs from other guitar synths in that it provides the industry’s only glitch-free, 6-string x 24 fret touch-sensitive keyed-fingerboard; ideal for playing and controlling all aspects of synthesizers, samplers, DAWs, and sound modules.

Being truly polyphonic, the Z6S-XPA Deluxe can simultaneously play multiple notes per-string per fret. The cutting edge Ableton Live color-coded touch-sensing keyed-fingerboard has been developed with 32 separate programmable zones, each with its own channel, voice, transposition, tuning, hammer-ons and sensitivity settings. The embedded arpeggiator and sequencer, as well as the programmable chording system may be assigned to separate fingerboard zones, layers and/or frets. This fingerboard system is highly suited to Drum mapping when percussion or loop playback is called for, or composition when accompanying chords are needed.

Features:
* 6 Velocity-sensitive String Triggers
* 4-Way programmable Joysitck
* Ableton Live color-coded fingerboard layouts and sysex templates
* 8 programmable pots
* 6 touch pads

"If you've made it this far into Synth School without dropping out or changing your major to something less technical, then congratulations. You're nearly ready for graduation day. Today we'll be picking up where we left off with Thor's oscillator types, namely the multi-oscillator and the noise oscillator. There's a lot to these simple looking modules! From there we'll move over and take a look at the filter sections in Thor and I'll introduce you to the semi-modular routing buttons which help move signals through Thor."
