Introducing StringPort: A Computer Platform For Guitars
Keith McMillen Instruments (KMI) has released a new hardware/software product called StringPort, which it’s billing “the first computer platform for guitars.”
The StringPort
According to KMI, the StringPort is a hardware device that processes, converts and conveys to the computer the polyphonic audio from industry-standard hexaphonic pickups (such as GK, Graph Tek, Zeta and RMC models) through high-speed USB2.
The software suite includes 24 applications including “fast and accurate” Analysis (for converting every little performance nuance into control data), Polyphonic FX Processing (Wave Guide, PolyFuzz, Phase Vocoder, SMACK), a VST FX Wall (for integrating 3rd Party VST Plug-Ins), Synthesis (Classic FM and direct support for the Synful synthesizer), a Notation application (to capture data for output to music notation software), and MIDI Out to integrate StringPort into an existing MIDI set-up
The SpringPort is now available for MacOS and retails for $995 including all software modules and is available direct from Keith McMillen Instruments. For more information, hit up the KMI website!
