Starr Labs zTar Z7S Midi Guitar Controler

via this auction

"This is the world's class latency free midi guitar. Each fret button is velocity sensitive, so zTar players can become virtuoso tappers as well. Play a chord with your left hand and lead lines with your right or lead/lead or chord/chord. Play any chord by pressing one button. This instrument is amazing.

Comes with the accessory pack, case and all these add-ons:

STRING TRIGGERS
These are the very latest 2010 version from Starr Labs, far better than the problematic previous string triggers - quantum leap. These are the six right hand string sensors that are used to trigger the fingerboard the same as you’d play a guitar.

TCA-1 TOUCH CAP ASSEMBLY ($375.00 add-on)
Six additional touch pads at your finger tips. Play strings by touching pads, add drums to your Synthesizer and much more.

MUTE-BAR
This is the metallic bar in the tailpiece or plate mounted elsewhere on the instrument that is used to facilitate muting the String Triggers. If your skin is in contact with both the Mute-Bar and a String Trigger the trigger will mute its triggered note(s).

NECK SENSOR STRIP
This is a narrow strip mounted to the edge of the fingerboard that can be programmed to send a variety of MIDI messages when pressed with a thumb.

JOYSTICK
The joystick is used as a performance device by programming MIDI messages to any of its four directions. Also, when programming the menu-system, the joystick is used for data- entry by scrolling values underneath the blinking cursor.

RIBBON CONTROLLER
This Z7S has this additional MIDI controller.

"One of the interactive music art pieces at the Biorythym show at Science Gallery in Dublin where the Music, Sensors & Emotions team, from our Biosuite project, were getting audience members to react to pieces of music they were listening to, using the sensors & tech created for Biosuite. A great public test for robustness and gathering data."
