But let’s not focus on what it isn’t, let’s concentrate on what it actually is. This juicy little “toy” is actually a full-blown amp-in-guitar and MIDI controller. The fingerboard is a rubber touch pad with, presumably, articulated “frets” with 6 contact points each. The nylon strings are all like 3rd strings. Yamaha did this same thing on its synth controller, by the way. I suspect that’s to equalize the contact using identical string mass. There’s a built-in battery-powered amp with 4” speaker.

You can play this like a guitar, or guitars. On top you can choose from 20 preset sounds. You can add automatic percussion rhythms. Pick the tempo. Punch in sustain and reverb, and change the key. On the front you have an on/off switch, master volume and rhythm volume. You can mute your guitar, activate or turn off the rhythm sounds, add in some fill. Oh yes, and there’s a manual drum machine pad if you’re dexterous, with a choice of cymbals, low tom, hi tom, and snare drum sounds.

And if that’s not enough, you can send the signal out to an external amp. You can plug in headphones. Pick two MIDI modes, omni or poly, to coordinate with whatever gear you use. Plug in a MIDI DIN cable. And use an AC plug, should you be so inclined.
