This MIDI guitar is my favorite new way to make music
Play basically any instrument on this electric guitar.
The Jamstik Classic is a fully traditional electric guitar — six strings, quarter-inch jack, and all — but with an added analog-to-MIDI converter you can plug straight into your computer via USB or Bluetooth to control virtual instruments in real time. Because of my familiarity with electric guitar, I have spent many hours over the past couple weeks recording modular synth sounds, piano chords, bass rhythms, orchestra strings, a saxophone solo, and even percussion tracks at a faster and more complex level than what I have been able to do with programming or playing keys. As a standalone app or as a plug-in in any DAW, you can use the software to view a virtual fretboard that updates with the notes you’re playing in real time and lets you change instruments, tune the guitar, and alter effects and settings.
