Guitar controller – Part III

A quick update on the guitar controller to say that this project is going quite well. I’ve decided to forget the hacked USB keyboard approach since I couldn’t fix the latency issue. I bought a midi CPU from Highly Liquid and I’ve no regrets. This will give me a more stable controller down the road.

I also bought some low profile arcade buttons, since I was unsatisfied with all other SPST switches I’ve come across These switches have amazing response, require little effort to activate and jump back to open in a flash.

Next: Wiring all buttons on the neck, installing buttons on the guitar body and finding a tilt switch.

  2. Thanks folks!

    You can expect more videos, since my new macbook pro makes it very quick and easy to do with its built-in camera and microphone... I don't hace to setup any more equipment.

    The first live show will likely be a live video stream on a service like http://www.ustream.tv/ or http://www.justin.tv/
