The great mysteries of... the GUITORGAN!

[mynameisjonas]

i actually had the opportunity to play a Patch 2000 once. it was this one:

they didn't have all the right equipment for it, but the guy plugged it in to some syntheseizer they had in the shop so i could play around with it. i have to say it was a hard beast to tame. since you don't have to pick a string to make a note you have to be very careful about not fretting any unwanted notes... so whatever i tried to play sounded like an 8bit nintendo gone mad. but it was a lot of fun.

Dudes!
When i was like 10 I sat in with a guy who had one of those, and it was on Public access television.  I played cello and danced.  The guitar sounded really cool.

Aen, welcome to “cello-dancers” anonymous ,  how long has it been since you danced around the false god that is the cello ?

ALMOST 15 YEARS BUT I STILL WANT IT SOOOO BAAAAD!

anyone heard of the Hagström Patch 2000? it was basically a Swede, with what appears to be the GuitOrgan circuitry built into it.

edit: apparently these where the first ever guitars with this kind of technology (yay! go sweden! )

edit#2: apparently they were not

I've tried one of those (at:this guy (not for sale). The thing with it is that the tone came out with a slight delay ....otherwise it was awesome. I think (correct me if I'm wrong and you know better) Moog WAS involved when developing this.....monster.
