Ni28 ELECTRONIC MIDI GUITAR – CONCEPT
This is my Bachelor project from 2018. I designed and built an electronic guitar that can be played effortlessly.
The instrument is a standard MIDI controller that controls electronic instruments and software via USB. Instead of strings and frets, the neck holds a matrix of brass plates. Two adjacent elements can be bridged with a finger, closing a circuit, which generates the appropriate note.
The working title of the product was Ni28, after the nickel plating of its characteristic touch plates.
