GuitarSynths.co.ukElectric Pick Synth-New for Guitar-Circuit Bent-Theremin
Bring your guitar playing to a new dimension with
The Electric Pick Synth.
A one of a kind new instrument that utilizes
the natural picking style to send out two different
audio signals:
1- The pick itself is a passive circuit that has a
percussive attack at the output. This signal
can be routed to any pedal or effect for
interesting results. This signal can also
trigger MIDI notes through devices with CV input
2- The Synth is a light sensitive oscillator circuit that
is controlled by the pick with a photo-cell and contact
to the guitar. It has a switchable range capable
of "low creaks" sweeping to "high screams".
It runs on a 9volt battery and has a
built in speaker.
The unit is seated near the tail of the guitar
behind the bridge. The guitar contact hookup
wire is connected to the bridge.
The pick's natural plucking produces the attack
at the pick output. The synth voice is "cut" when a
string is struck and the photo-cell varies the
pitch at the synth output.
This is an experimental instrument with a
range of possibilities.
