Re: [microsound] Lemur!

[graham miller <grahammiller@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

what about incorporating such a device (eventually) into the fretboard of a
guitar... with mulitiple touch points, it would be identical to the way one
would normally fret... as far as right hand action (strumming non-existant
strings) you could have some kind of infrared sensor that could be interupted
with the pick... i dunno, just thinking out loud here... i mean, it would a
synth, but with a guitar interface... not mention how cool it would look on
stage,with the LCD facing the audience...
