Nice! So it has (in MIDI parlance) polyphonic aftertouch, but no pitch bend. I wonder if you could make a string instrument with both.

- kragen 7y agoSure, just adjust the tension on the strings, the way electric guitar players do with a whammy bar.
- leoc 7y agoSure. Here's a fretless bass with a Gizmotron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBCvI-do0KA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBCvI-do0KA Even better, here's a pedal steel guitar with a Gizmotron ... and Robert Randolph: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-CODgpHuPY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-CODgpHuPY .
- cousin_it 7y agoThanks, I didn't know about this device, really cool! Do you know if it's possible to have a sharper attack? Like, pluck the note normally and then sustain it with the device.
- leoc 7y agoIt should be possible: at https://youtu.be/i-CODgpHuPY?t=59 https://youtu.be/i-CODgpHuPY?t=59 you can see Randolph using a thumb-pick as well as the Gizmo, though it requires some careful positioning. (I've never used a Gizmotron myself.)
