Re: building a rudimentary EUB (upright stick bass)

Tnob, You can achieve alot with discarded materials, so go for it! Regarding the right measurements: There ain't such a thing. Everything between 30" up to 42" stringlength will do for a EUB, but that gives a lot of room to move. For a string you can also use a nylon weedwacker string, ava...

Re: Experiment: Makin a low-budget Polyphonic (midi)guitar s

Is there an Linux alternative for Reaktor?
In the above mentioned link an other guitarist is using Reaktor to process six signals parallel but using only one instance of Reaktor: http://music-electronics-forum.com/atta ... eaktor.jpg

Re: Experiment: Makin a low-budget Polyphonic (midi)guitar s

Time to do a little update: 1. There's someone else doing the same project only with windows based software: http://music-electronics-forum.com/t33999/ 2. I'm still strugling to "midify" the multible instances of Rakarrack, I can easily open multible instances with a custom bank of presets...

Re: building a rudimentary EUB (upright stick bass)

For building the EUB, you could do also do a google search on electric cello's. They are smaller but they are build the same. Check the musical instruments makers forum (http://www.mimf.com) there you can find some info on (high-end) EUB's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4R2tCQg1ug As to stringleng...

Re: Experiment: Makin a low-budget Polyphonic (midi)guitar s

I've made a studio in Gladish containing several instances of Rakarrack, each loading a specific bank. Each instance is connected with a different signal (in this test setup 1 for the bassstrings and 1 for the treble strings) and this works well. The last thing I want to solve is to control everythi...

Greetings the Netherlands

I'm guitarplayer and science teacher who is interested in making and experimentating with low-budget custom guitars for my personal use. I try to use commonly available materials. At this moment I'm playing a 7 string guitar tuned in fifths and I'm testing a polyphonic pickup. In line with these exp...

Re: Experiment: Makin a low-budget Polyphonic (midi)guitar s

Thanks for your reply Autostatic.

Is there an other way to process 7 signals at once with different effects?

And if so, is it possible to change the presets with a midicontroller?

Experiment: Makin a low-budget Polyphonic (midi)guitar setup

I'm building a electric guitar which will contain a polyphonic pick-up, either made of piezo-pickup or using the strings as single coil pickups (see: http://music-electronics-forum.com/t14952/ for futher information). It's a 7 string guitar (tuned in fifths). This would result in 7 different signals...
