what you need to know about the misa kitara

The Misa Kitara

The Misa digital guitar is an experimental new instrument, similar to an electric guitar in shape, but with an interface designed to easily and intuitively control digital audio.

Most musicians today use some form of audio synthesis or sampling in their music. Virtually any type of sound can be created using these methods. Traditionally, digital piano keyboards have been the dominant instrument for controlling these sounds real-time in a musical setting.

At Misa, we provide a new instrument that not only unites traditional guitar playing technique with digital sound, but allows digital guitarists to use playing techniques that are not possible or comfortable on a digital keyboard!

Multi-touch Screen Future styles

Play notes by touching the screen. The position and movement of your touch determines how the sound is generated and processed.

MIDI Control Want to control your existing equipment?

MIDI output means you only need to connect the Kitara to a MIDI device, and it becomes an extension of your existing equipment!

Powered by Linux Are you a programmer?

If you're not, that's fine, you can ignore this point :). But programmers will be happy to know the Kitara software is open-source on github!

Synthesizer Engine Experiment with internal sounds

You can apply a number of digital effects, including distortion, delay and modulation. You can save sounds as presets, and you can swap preset files online. You can assign one sound to all six strings, or assign different sounds to different strings.

24 Fret Neck No strings here though...

The Kitara neck has six rows of buttons, each corresponding to a musical note. It's configured out of the box like a traditional guitar neck - but you can change the tuning. The neck is modular - and new neck types will be available soon.
