The future is here
With looks right out of a futuristic vision, the Misa Digital Kitara not only brings style but a huge cool factor to musicians everywhere. The touchscreen not only gives you unheard of control, but also provides a very cool light show for all those watching.The limits of using the Kitara are only set by your imagination. Is it a guitar? A MIDI controller? A synthesizer? You decide. Arguably one of the most flexible and innovative instruments in modern history, the Kitara is a chameleon of many colors.

Built-in polyphonic synthesizer
A full-featured polyphonic synthesizer is built into the Misa Digital Kitara, making it a self-contained instrument. An 8" multi-touch screen gives you massive and innovative control over the features and playability of this unique fretboard controller. You trigger notes and sound by touching the screen, how you place and move your hand determines how the sound is processed. Strum, tap, drag, multi-touch, whatever, every touch is control over a parameter, instrument, or effect. You get to choose how the instrument functions. The Kitara fretboard lets you choose the notes, much like a keyboard, except there are 144 keys to choose from. You can assign all six strings to play one sound, or designate a different sound per string. The Misa Digital Kitara can also control compatible MIDI devices.

Guitar feel and familiarity
The Misa Digital Kitara has a layout that is very familiar to guitar players. The fretboard features 24 frets, but instead of strings each fret space is a button. Now all those chord voicings and arpeggios you know on guitar can translate directly into MIDI devices with ease. The Kitara's built-in synthesizer has tons of great tones and even built-in effects. You get a range of effects from distortion to delay to modulation. Jump into the MIDI realm with a fretboard controller that is as familiar as your guitar.

The touch screen and glossy button-activated fret board give it a futuristic look and feel. My first impression was, 'wow, what an amazing piece of technology'. Once I got the standard operation down, which by the way was easier than I expected, the true genius of the Kitara made itself apparent. While the buttons took some adjusting to, I soon was able to perform scale runs and chords without looking at the neck and my fretted hand. The touch screen allows a level of organic play I thought never possible on a digital instrument. By assigning different filters and effects to the X/Y axis (as well as 4 different expressive input methods), I was able to morph and create some impressively unique sounds from the Kitara and all with the more than capable built-in soundbanks. Patches range from a church organ to a "Space Guitar!" As well, switching to MIDI mode was all too satisfying... I assigned MIDI controls to the touchpad and was immediately manipulating a Z3ta2 patches into atmospheric soundscapes. The weight, feel and obvious build quality of the Kitara justifies its premium price point.
