#2Can anyone identify the wireless communication chip they are using?
Re: Guitar Machine
#3Why not. This will make some interesting music.

#4This could spice up the next Tame Impala[1] or St. Vincent[2] tours.
Mentioning them because both Kevin Parker and Annie Clark tend to be interesting in their guitar engineering, while creating popular, accessible and increasingly synth-driven pop/rock.

#8So functionally it's roughly equivalent to a Gizmotron https://www.gizmotron.com/ with extra solenoids to push the wheels up and down. Actually the Gizmo is better in several respects: it doesn't block the fretboard (though it can be an obstacle for the picking/plucking hand), doesn't prevent string bending and by now seems to have a less staccato and less harsh-sounding string activation.

#9AI augmentation, human-machine symbiosis, etc, are definitely interesting.
What's up with vimeo though? Almost 2020 and it still doesn't work properly. I don't think I've ever played a video without constant stutters, buffering, etc.
Letting it play all the way through in order to buffer the whole thing, so that you can play it again, this time 'preloaded', results in it starting the download over - arrghh!

Looks to me like the Gizmotron is only for bowing while this can do both bowing and plucking.
