Misa Digital Guitar Demo

misa digital guitar prototype running linux kernel 2.6.31.

very fun and mesmerizing to play.

sydney, australia.

PLEASE NOTE: that "crackling" some people are pointing out is an effect, like a bit crusher effect. It was done on purpose to show how the location of your touch effects the sound. You can apply any control parameter you want to each axis of the touch screen. This instrument is not limited to one type of effect. I personally like the sound, but it is subjective like all music is.

It's been about 12 years and I'm still getting impressed on what people made back then

11 years ago? This is literally the future of music!

[rodger]

I want Ichika Nito to play this, it would be so interesting to see what he'd do with it

[IXOYE-Disciple]

This would be the greatest 8 bit soundtrack maker for any game that wants that sound or vibe EVER. 🤟🏼👹

This thing makes the same sound my computer does when it crashes.

A lot of you guys need to understand this is not trying to replace the guitar. I'm sure there are other presets and such for this instrument, but as far as this one goes, it seems to be going for a more bit crushed 8 or 16 bit kind of sound. It has its own purpose separate from a normal electric or acoustic guitar. I could even use electric and acoustic guitars as examples of how there can be different types of guitars for different purposes, and your favorite will not vanish from the face of the earth.

14 years now... Never saw this before and I am impressed. Heading over to the new guitar video now!

[haydencarter]

Lets take a moment to appreciate that this video is 11 year’s old

[emoneydev]

This brings “electronic guitar” to a whole nother level

[RockStarOscarStern]

The sound of this Gizmo falls in between a Guitar and a Synthesizer so quite a neat instrument

[G-ne]

It's like they made an instrument for people who tap their fingers on desks at schools

"Technology makes me ANGERY" = most of the top comments

[WAVE]

11 years have passed, so there is definitely an alternate reality somewhere where this guitar is being treated like how people treat smartphones, and if they see someone walking with a traditional guitar, they'll ask that person why he is walking with a keypad guitar

This instrument or something simmilar has been used for the bassline of the song "Madness" by Muse in 2012! For those who don't know who they are they were basically really popular in the 2000's and the 2010's. The song "Survival" that is in the same album as "Madness" is the official 2012 Olympic games theme.

Fun fact: less than 1 minute vids are usually legendary.

[nanahyakuman]

realize im ten years late here but i just have to say that as someone with an electronic music background this looks and sounds great and i can see a ton of possibilities here

[LckeStudios]

some things to address to the dweebs complaining about this device -

1. this is not a guitar
2. this is not trying to be a guitar
3. this is a guitar-shaped synthesizer
4. this is designed for digital music artists who play guitar or guitar-shaped things
5. synthesizers use all kinds of noises, effectively any noise can be made through one by using your own instrument files
6. the mic quality on this video is only so good
7. the synth used in this example is a guitar sample with intentionally crushed quality, designed to have low bitrate
8. you could just as easily load in the sound of an actual, clean guitar string, refer to #5
9. this will not replace guitars, refer to #2
10. music is music and sound is sound, no matter what's making it - and clearly it's not fake if you can hear it
11. 'guitar music' isn't being killed by this or any music similar to what's being played on it
12. this device isn't taking away from anyone else
13. this is not a stringed instrument and shouldn't be compared to one except in shape, see # 1-3
14. jesus christ find something more productive to whine about

[currentlyvibing]

Honestly I kinda wanna buy it just to have some fun with and see if I can do some polyphia on it or something😂

[Andreanas_]

13 YEARS AND THIS IS THE BEST GUITAR EVER!!!

[Gabirudobeat]

Ichika Nito probably will play this in a video called "When your mom leave you alone in home" or something like that
