Re: Six output guitar pick-up. Good for looping?

["Dennis Moser" <sinsofmachaut@gmail.com>]

As much as I love my Godin (bless 'em!) ... I WANT ONE. NOW!

Much cheaper than a GK pickup and all the other stuff that goes with it ... must dig deeper into this.

Hi,

I just noticed this guy that makes six output guitar pick-ups. Seems
like a way more expensive option than buying a FireWire guitar or the
Moog Guitar:

You should be able to use six loopers, one for each string. That would
make the guitar + looper a new instrument that no one have yet played.
Much less pedal tapping needed, as this looping instrument would be
more like a piano, i.e. more options instantly available for direct
playing. By playing the same note on a different string you overdub it
into the next looper etc. He, he... playing that monster looper would
demand more brain exercise than finger exercise ;-)

Exciting stuff! I once used a MIDI guitar for looping samples set up
as one sample per MIDI Channel and string, but with this pick-up you
should be able to do it with real audio (which IMHO is cool with
guitars).
