Author Topic: A Guitar  (Read 2296 times)

Hay. You all know what a guitar is atleast, I was wondering if someone could make a...guitar...and when you click it would make a random note..that would be awesome, and if you double click really fast, it would play a short ogg, you choose by doing like /selectsong _________


That would be awesome..

I'm currently trying to make an electric guitar that you can play.

O cool.

Thx I wanted to play a guitar at one point lol.

Hah, it could be like the guitar in BioShock.

bet a clans gonna pop-up around the guitar when it comes out

Looking back at the old thread I think that it would be better to just have it play in a pre-defined musical scale rather than the full chromatic range. That way anyone can bust out Yngwie Malmsteen solos with very little effort (if you use, say, a pentatonic scale).

I actually connected my Skullrape's Guitar Hero controller to my computer and converted the input to MIDI notes. Each of the 32 different combinations of the fret buttons corresponded to a MIDI note in a preset scale. I was literally just mashing the buttons and it sounded like a typical masturbatory metal solo. I think a similar approach will give pleasant noise if you can work it out

32 sound datablocks would be worse than Rky's add-ons.

I assumed that it was possible to alter the playback rate of a given sound (like when changing the timescale) - that way one would only have to record one or two actual notes (depending on how "natural" you want it to sound) and alter the sample playback rate appropriately for each of the different notes.
