Livid has wrapped up a successful Kickstarter campaign for the Guitar Wing – a new MIDI controller for guitarists.
The Guitar Wing is a accessory that attaches to guitars and basses, offering wireless control of software plug-ins, DAWs, iOS apps & MIDI effects units…right from your guitar or bass. Livid had set a project goal of $45,000, and they raised over $70,000.
Livid expects the Guitar Wing to go into production within a few weeks and to be available in April. It will also be available for $199 via the Guitar Wing site.
Here’s the official intro on the Guitar Wing:
And here’s Columbian metal band Headcrusher offering their take (in Spanish) on the Guitar Wing:
Does it not do audio-to-midi? That is the only part I am interested in.
It doesn’t do audio to MIDI. You might want to check out the new Fishman TriplePlay for audio to MIDI for guitar. I just picked one up and it’s a big improvement over the Roland GK.
If you have an iPhone or iPad you could check out midimorphosis, an audio to midi conversion app. It’s ok but you need a good connection from the instrument to the i device, one through the thirty pin/lightning connector.
Would something like the I rig work?
