Kassen, perhaps you're thinking about the YouRock guitar? I've been glancing at that one myself - looks like a clever piece of gear.
They're actually getting better at polyphonic pitch detection - there are polyphonic tuners available (the TC Electronic app for iPhone), and the RockSmith console game (great fun!) detects chords - though how well it does isn't apparent, maybe they're faking it ;) I do think there's a fair amount of latency involved in both of those though. /Stefan On Sun, Mar 24, 2013 at 4:09 AM, Kassen <[email protected]>wrote: > On Fri, Mar 22, 2013 at 11:52:23PM -0700, [email protected] wrote: > > That sounds like a good idea, though I haven't bought any sort of MIDI > > guitar yet.
