Digital Kitara Technology

Digital Kitara

The Digital Kitara shape was most definitely guitar-based, although the Kitara also had a touchscreen slap bang in the middle of it and used an open source software platform to make sound.

This included onboard synth tones and could be played by way of 144 buttons along its neck. You’ll notice that we are using the past tense as, according to Misa Digital: “The Misa digital guitar was an experimental instrument, similar to an electric guitar in shape, but with an interface designed to easily and intuitively control digital audio.

 But in old  electric guitar is a guitar that uses a pickup to convert the vibration of its strings into electrical impulses. The most common guitar pickup uses the principle of direct electromagnetic induction. The signal generated by an electric guitar is too weak to drive a loudspeaker, so it is amplified before being sent to a loudspeaker. The output of an electric guitar is an electric signal, and the signal can easily be altered by electronic circuits to add “color” to the sound. Often the signal is modified using electronic effects such as reverb and distortion. Invented in 1931, the electric guitar became a necessity asjazz guitarists sought to amplify their sound in the big band format.

It is now discontinued.” However, the replacement Tri-Bass, which is more of a MIDI controller with touchscreen is still available, although it’s sold out at the time of writing.
