I am sharing this because a number of our CM musicians are open to experimenting with sounds and using electronics for it.
Quoting the story:
You Tube video-click the picYou've probably heard an electric guitar make all sorts of crazy sounds thanks to either digital or analog processing. The Vo-96 works entirely differently, although technically the unit is doing both analog and digital backflips to alter the guitar's sound. Rather than modify the waveform after the fact—as in the case of an electric guitar and an effects pedal—the Vo-96 alters the waveform in real-time.
In other words, the Vo-96 changes the very physics of how a guitar makes sound to begin with. How do you do that? The device has what Vo calls a "two-way conversation" with the guitar strings. It listens to the strings and then applies a precisely calculated magnetic energy back to the strings to change how they sound.
