Zivix JamStik: The Guitar for your iPad

الوصف

Product Description JamStik - The Guitar for Your iPadThe JamStik is a guitar controller designed to interface with the iPad, iPhone, and Mac, giving you the ability to use all of the nuances of guitar playing to control your favourite music creation iOS apps or Mac software. At just over 38cm long, the JamStik is built to fit the form factor of your mobile device to fit your mobile lifestyle - where your iPad goes the JamStik can follow with ease.Real Strings, Real Frets, Real PlayingIt's really important that a guitar controller actually works like a guitar. That's why the JamStik has real guitar strings and real frets - you can use a pick or your fingertips, you can bend strings (try that on divided frets,) and use your guitar playing skills to generate musically dynamic MIDI for your apps or software. The JamStik is a new idea in guitar controllers because it uses infrared light to "see" what your hands are doing in real time. Unlike other MIDI guitar solutions that rely on audio analysis and conversion to MIDI, the JamStik scans the fret board and knows what your fretting hand is up to before your picking hand ever hits a string. Because the JamStik "sees" activity in real time, it's an extremely fast MIDI controller.Don't know how to play guitar? JamTutor has you covered.Since the JamStik can see fretting activity in real time, we're able to build an intuitive guitar instruction method - the JamTutor app for iPad, available as a free download on the iTunes App Store. JamTutor works exclusively with JamStik's fret sensing technology to display simple visual fret cues for your iPad screen that are easy and fun to follow as you learn. Unlike other interactive guitar teaching systems that require you to pick a note to determine whether or not you've played something correctly, JamTutor visibly displays your fingering in real time before you even pick a note. Designed to get you from the "guitar curious" stage to being comfortable with the guitar basics, JamTutor gets you down the path of making music as you learn - quickly.Look, No Wires!Your iPad is a MOBILE device, why would you ever want to tether it like a ball and chain on a cable? The JamStik establishes its own WiFi network to connect to your iOS device (or your Mac) wirelessly - no host network necessary. This means that anywhere your iPad goes, your JamStik can go too!Simple, Easy, Intuitive Design at WorkThe JamStik is designed to be hassle-free. Its real guitar strings never need tuning. The rechargeable battery will outlast your ability to play for the day. The WiFi connection is one-step and go. Where MIDI used to be complicated for guitar players, the Jamstik is an easy entry point to get started without a major investment or a complicated installation onto your prized guitar.Bundled JamStik AppsIn addition to JamTutor, JamMix (an addictive DJ-meets-guitar instant music app designed exclusively for the JamStik) is also available as a free download on the iTunes App Store. With single note auto chord play, hundreds of audio loops and samples to practice or jam with, and great solo sounds - JamMix will have you making music in minutes, but engaged for hours.Turn Your iPad Into a Real Musical InstrumentAside from apps designed exclusively for the Jamstik, there are hundreds of sound and music making apps available for the iPad, iPhone, and Mac - and the JamStik puts those apps under tactile musical control. Play the sounds of synthesizers, recording apps, and DAWs using guitar technique - give those flat apps some 6-string love!Six Strings, Five Frets - Infinite PossibilitiesAt its core, the JamStik is a MIDI controller. Not unlike the convenient variety of offerings our keyboard playing brethren have had access to for years, the JamStik's first impression can appear limited in note range. The performance D-pad on the JamStik gives access to over twice the note range of a 21 fret guitar. Even in its small footprint, the JamStik can cover a wide range of notes. Box Contains Zivix Jamstik
