Now if we could just get something like that worked out for a flatpick...On Nov 9, 2008, at 8:57 PM, info at zoekeating wrote: Wow, I just heard about the KBow.
"The K-Bow is a sensor bow for stringed instruments. Combined with a standard violin, bass, cello, or viola the K-Bow allows traditional instrumentalists to seamlessly access the unlimited sound world that a computer provides, while utilizing the virtuosity built from years of practice.
The K-Bow gathers information about a performance through several sensors including an X Y and Z axis accelerometer, grip sensor, tilt sensor, playing pressure, distance from the instrument and gesture recognition. A suite of software lets a musician control the sound of the instrument, record with herself, or send the information to other standard music software."
Watch the 2nd video on this page, of Janos Negyesy using the KBow to loop.
