The Incident gTar iPhone Guitar Controller Interfaced with Ableton Live

gTar Meets Ableton

YouTube Published on Jun 2, 2012 by incidenttech
You might remember the gTar from this previous demo.

"Lots of people have been asking us whether the gTar is MIDI compatible. The short answer is yes, but we wanted to illustrate some of the exciting things it can do. Here, we've mapped the fretboard out to an Ableton Live set where it is triggering loops and one-shots.

What isn't demonstrated here is the ability to use a d-pad between the 12th-16th frets to navigate around different areas of the set. There appears to be a bit of lag with the clip triggers, but that has to do with the quantize settings, not the latency of the controller (this should be evident with the triggering of the snares).

You can secure a first-run gTar through our Kickstarter page here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/incident/gtar-the-first-guitar-that-anybody-can-play

And if you're interested in learning more, check out our Facebook page: facebook.com/incidentgtar.

The demo contains a sample from Danny Daze's track "Fall Away From Love". If you're a representative for Mr. Daze, Hot Creations, or an ancillary rights holder and object to this usage, please contact us directly (info at incidenttech dot com)."

Build a 1973 Paperfaced Serge VCF on June 16th at RobotSpeak

What you get: "Serge 1973 VCF kit with 4u panel, Instruction on building, Pro QA / troubleshooting, A great time."

Full details at coa-modular

Info on the Paperfaced Serge systems here. In short: "Often donning psychedelic punk rock collaged front panels instead of something that looks like it cost a million bucks. Pretty much the original Synth DIY community. As this was on the west coast the Serge systems had banana jacks and 4u high panels."
