[Rob Morris] sent us this video of his Wiimote based guitar effects. Similar to our post yesterday about using the Wiimote to control a synth, he is using changes in orientation to effect the sound. He starts off with simple pitch modulation, but later in the video he’s doing, uh, we’re not sure but its kind of cool.
AWESOME! Really really well done!!!
Look! It’s the Real Guitar Hero!
That was interesting. Like a whammy bar.
The Wiimote is a tool of infinity!! Holy crap I’m going to use this for an electric violin.
That’s a lot cheaper than a Koss touchpad, too…
Creative. I think the guitar might need an accelerometer to enhance guitar playing.
“he is using changes in orientation to effect the sound”
*affect* the sound. :)
holy sweet jesus i’ve gotta find out how to do that. amazing amazing amazing
My bladder control has been affected after seeing the wiimote guitar!!!
Sounds like Joe Satrioni (SP?)
The wiimote has come so far since it was released. Nice job.
Man, this guy could be the next SquarePusher.
i want to know how to do this
This one is tested on animals:

It pitches down rather than up, and controls wah, distortion, etc.
How to do this:
There are several ways to read out a wii. There’s something called darwiin, which can send data in Opens Sound Control format. There must be similar things for windows and linux.
This OSC data can then be understood by supercollider, maxmsp and pd and so forth.
Build your fx in one of those, or cook the data and send it as midi to the effect that you like.
Mine is done in MSP, most of it by manipulating one tap-in tap-out delayline.
Cool , but as far as a gutarist? Ouch.
I want one! actually sounds better than a whammy pedal. 5***** hack!!
Can anybody help me? I would like to sign up for the rss feed for this website, but not sure exactly what to do. I really like the information presented here. Thank You to anyone…
