A guitar for the multi-medial social media environment.
- Touch Sensitive Guitar
Let´s imagine that a pop star storms all the charts worldwide with his new single. Let´s also imagine that we could download a tutorial at the same time with whose help we could then give a top presentation of the new song to our friends within 2 days. So! Who is the hero now?
The vision: a 100% touch-sensitive, digital guitar based on the capacitive electronics in a new multi-medial social media environment.
The mission: a playful and easily understandable access to playing the guitar and to music in general. A computer game based on the most authentic experiences possible. Digital music made „tangible“ and „comprehensible“.
Concept as a whole: total exploitation of the digital possibilities. From integrating the system into home entertainment and computer systems to the utilisation of apps and a learning mode up to its inclusion in global social media networks. The first contact to music for a new generation!
Touch-Sensitiv
All the entries are made via the touch sensitive „touch-skin“ surface. Thanks to the reduction of mechanical parts the susceptibility of error is minimized and the production costs are lowered. The three primary touch fields (neck, drum area and touch wheel) are ergonomically and optimally placed and allow a faultless flow of playing.
- MultiTouch Areas
Social Media
ONLINE LEARNING – learning programmes simplify the learning of an instrument and create a playful access to the instrument.
RECORDING – music can be recorded and processed like in a recording studio.
OPEN SOURCE – open source software offers the user the possibility to develop it further and to share it with other users.
COMPETITIONS – the user can measure himself against others via the social media platforms. This increases the fun of playing and the motivation.
SHARE WITH FRIENDS – the multi-instrumental guitar should animate like-minded people to play music together.

Ergonomics
As the strings can be mounted separately to the frets, they were placed at a slight angle, which greatly improves the ergonomics when playing.
The chords can be ergonomically supported via the LED light guide particularly in the learning mode.

Home Integration
The guitar is distinguished by its great compatibility. Several appliances can be connected „wirelessly“ to the guitar and thus increase the field of application.
touchskin® Technology
The guitar based on the touchskin® technology developed by plastic electronic. touchskin® provides capacitive technology on freely formed plastic part surfaces. www.touchskin.net
