[@mistermatix8241]

Chris Wolstenholme from Muse is the ONLY player who seems to be able to use the Misa Kitara to its full effect. It just seems to be a Kaoss pad made into a full instrument, a midi controller. I do suspect Chris' Kitara was heavily modified by his tech team to be "stage ready"

[@mistermatix8241]

As you guys have said, you CANNOT approach playing a Kitara like a conventional guitar, or even a keyboard/keytar. It's a totally different mindset, as the subtleties aren't there. But, in the hands of a musician who can truly adapt (like Chris from Muse) it becomes a formidable piece of stage kit. I've seen Muse live on every concert tour, and he used it on the 2nd Law, Drones and Simulation Theory tours (it's now incorporated into a dual neck bass body) that guy creates amazing grooves on the Kitara. I'm tempted to get one myself and hook it into my midi rig (I use an Alessi Vortex Wireless 2, and a Kaoss) I like the Nova, but the Kitara has that something.

For the screen issue, maybe a cell phone repair shop might have the tools and experience to work on it?

[@aquarius5264]

"tech guitar" is such a guitarist way to say guitar shaped midi controller

[@mccritical]

@@aquarius5264 The best midi controller (most flexible, but a little rough on transitioning) I've worked with was Ion's All Star Guitar.for the early gen iPads. It has a midi fretboard, similar to the Misa Kitara, and the iPad sits visibly in the body, so it's screen can be accessed and "played" in much the same way. A "bunch of musicians" have already contributed apps to Apple's app store, so it's not limited to what is prebuilt into the controller, and it's far more portable than some of the other midi guitar options out there. There are midi patching apps that allow someone to use the fretboard for non-guitar apps, but sometimes just pulling up iKaossolator and giving the left hand a rest is fun too.

[@moonhowler667]

You know SG, there are VST applications which can read the frequencies from your audio inputs and convert them to a MIDI signal. Some even work really well with chords. Since you already seem familiar with that stuff, maybe that'd be something else to toy around with!

[@naikigutierrez4279]

There's also midi sensors that go below the strings on a guitar and send discreet midi signal from each string.

[@MreenalMams]

Can you name some of those vsts.. and are there any free ones..?

[@chrisphobia]

@@MreenalMams "MIDI guitar 2" is the only one worth talking about. It's damn near perfect, better then even a Fishman trippleplay or boss gk-3. (I sold all my synth pickups after buying it) It's about €100/$/whatever you use. Bear in mind it also includes some great synths and guitar amps, cab and fx. Most importantly it allows you to do things like put valosaty, string bends, vibrato and after touch to CCs and also will allow you to sustain the synth but not the guitar so you can play over your chords and what not

[@picksalot1]

@@chrisphobia I agree. This is the best MIDI Guitar program I've seen that doesn't require a special guitar, Hex Pickup, etc. There is a great KZbin video I just watched on it that is well worth watching for anyone considering the Guitar as a MIDI Controller.

[@nothingislogical]

What you're talking about at 8:09 is actually why I struggled with playing Guitar Hero at first. Making that transition from being able to slide up and down the neck to having to shift to different buttons always threw me off. Outside of keeping to time and hand/eye coordination, actual guitar skills never really translated that well to that game.

[@scrub8423]

Feels like this would fit well with the Casio cassette tape guitar, I can see two guitarists gigging with both instruments as part of an 80s synth tribute act or something. Would be pretty awesome to watch.

I just use the Roland GR. It allows playing synth sounds in a guitar format, as you put it, but without having to adjust your ingrained guitar techniques. You can also mix the raw guitar sound with the synth sounds, something you couldn't do with the Mosi.

[@thesecretlightband]

I played one of these live regularly in a band I was in a decade ago. I have two of them, and one of them does in fact still work. The other has the exact same screen issue and I've thought of hacking in a new touchscreen but have not been motivated enough to try yet.

I actually still have my old Squire Strat midi pro controller that they made for Rockband 3. It has the benefits of having actual strings and the ability to be played, but also has a full midi interface to use.

[@chrisliddiard725]

Ditto, although its 'string' input is also problematic.

[@ravencrovax]

@@chrisliddiard725 Very true. That is because it actually has sensors under the fretboard. Unlike Rocksmith which used tones coming from the pick-ups, the Rock Band 3 interface used the sensors translated through the midi interface. That is why it had that muting pad down by the pick-ups. The RB3 method of input was just altogether odd because it focused more on trying to make sure your fretting was perfect rather than just that the notes you played were right.

It's been one of my favorite tools and really cathes eyes during live performances

[@glennglog22]

This is pretty dope. I always wanted a Misa Kitara since I was a kid, but they were simply too expensive and now apparently rare and non-functional. I'm glad to see someone making something similar. I'm also just suddenly remembering how much hate the Kitara got for simply being a synth with guitar controls. I always found that a bit unfounded.

[@JoshuaBenitezNewOrleans]

[@ViktorSarge]

The physical layout of piano and guitar affect what we can reasonably play so I think this might open up a few new ideas. Like how playing my kids left handed guitar opens up new arpeggios for me just because the strings are inverted. But you loose a lot of the techinques you can do on guitar and not gaining all of those you have available on a keyboard either.

[@imlxh7126]

This reminds me of the "YouRock" MIDI guitar controller that I have. It was like $200 and it actually HAS pluckable strings. I'm not saying it's GREAT (midi guitar controllers kinda suck in general) but at least it's like a quarter of the Misa's price. It's...fine, you know? It works.

[@NicholsonStudios]

The Mosi Nova Guitar controller is soooo coool! Love the white finish!

[@pjmuck]

FYI, Misa is still around and there is a newer model of the Misa available now called the TriWave. (Which is only 3 rows of buttons vs 6, so not really guitar-like other than body shape). But on the older model (and the Mosi) I feel like I would need fret markers or dot inlays/stickers to visualize chord patterns and scales with it's all black buttons and fretboard.

[@phaeded0ut]

[@serrisdaylor1015]

hey Sammy G, have you considered the fishman tripleplay? wireless bluetooth connectivity, turns your guitar into a midi controller as well! If you use their proprietary tripleplay software, you can also mess around with individual string tuning, individual string VST instruments, do volume swells the ol fashioned way (through their volume knob), as well as change presets using buttons on the controllers. It's a very cool tool!

[@Arbi5577]

Also check out the Starr Labs Ztar. I've got the Z6s, it actually has strings you can pluck in addition to a button fretboard. It also has a capacitive neck that can hold out notes until you let go of it.

Fantastic that you could give them a go. I always loved Allen Holdsworths performances on the legendary Synthaxe but just like yourself, even that was prone to issues, largely with the computer controller equipment breaking down. My honest suggestion would be to look at Roland Gr units and hexaphonic pickups, or if you don't want to go hexaphonic just yet, you could also try the Roland SY-1000 unit which will give you analogue synth straight from your guitar and both units work amazingly well. Enjoy.

@SammyG, have you ever tried the Zivix JamStik Studio? It is a 3/4 sized guitar with a full sized 25.5" fretboard, you can use you fave strings, and it has both analog and polyphonic midi capabilities -- it's the best of it's kind on the market and has been for a few years. I feel like that would blow your mind -- you can play just as you would with all the midi benefits. It works with any DAW you choose (most people don't like the free Zivix DAW), and also works with both computers and mobile devices. I think you would really, really love one of these guitars' -- their midi pickup is unlike no other on the market. Extremely accurate and works just like a guitar . . . because it IS a fully functioning guitar, and not a gimmick like other brands.

[@Morethannone.twitch]

Just watched the episode with you answering questions about your collection and how you bought a certain guitar 10 times to try and find a working guitar for your weird guitars series hahah great timing

[@RoySmithVideo]

The Roland GR-55 synth is a very highly evolved guitar synth that has great sounds built in, but can use MIDI out like the Mosi. Everything you say you are looking for here has been available with the Roland GR-55 and your guitar with a hex pickup to drive the synth. Best of all, your guitar bends, hand vibrato, open strings, etc work exactly as you expect. If you want to see amazing tracking, search "George Stavroulakis" who plays allan holdsworth SynthAxe covers very accurately using the Parker Fly and Roland GR equipment.

[@karlkastor]

Rob Swire from Pendulum is still using it for live shows of the band's newest EP. It's good for playing synthesized songs live, since it's handheld instead of a bulky keyboard.

I bought a Misa Tri-Bass (successor to the Kitara) new in 2013 and after 2 or 3 years ot developed the exact same problem with the screen and it was never fixed. However, I did talk to the owner of Misa Digital a couple weeks ago, and he said following the release of their new instrument this year, there is a possibility they could build a new screen that would fix the older models.

Ah, the screen digitizer glitch... I was hoping you might have found a solution or a workaround. Incidentally, the Tri-bass, also by Misa, featured the same touchscreen input and also has the same issue. The digitizer used was the HF804F V1.3 with an I2C interface. These would have been easy to replace back in 2017, but are non-existent now. I still have hope for this beasty. Watch this space. In theory, you should be able to replace the digitizer with another using the same I2C protocol, but then you might need to tweak the misa firmware to recognize the address of that device. Even then, there's a degree of finger-crossing involved as the chip used on that digitizer would have to be generic enough to share the same instructions/conventions/protocol as the older digitizer. Most manufacturers tend to source the same chip to build their digitizers around it. So you never know. I'm still working on this.

I was a senior in high school when the Kitara made the internet rounds. I was captivated by the possibilities, but being young and broke, there was no way. Probably the first time I’ve heard of it for ten years, and I am glad you made this. Have you looked at Jamstiks? Similar concept of a synth guitar. It uses string (big selling point back in the day). The older one looks like one of those dumb fret board trainers that grandmothers think their guitar playing grandchild needs. The new ones seem to be more of a guitar with synth capabilities. Would love to see your take on it.
