Guitar synthesizer
A guitar synthesizer is any one of a number of musical systems that allow a guitarist to access synthesizer capabilities.
Today's guitar synths are direct descendants of 1970s devices from manufacturers (often in partnership) such as Hammond Innovex and Ovation, Ludwig, EMS, 360 Systems, Norlin Music and Maestro, Ampeg and Hagström, Arp, Roland Corporation and FujiGen (GR-500 and GR-300), New England Digital, Electro-Harmonix, Casio, Terratec/Axon, Starr Labs, Ibanez, Holt Electro Acoustic Research, Zeta Systems, and Yamaha.
In the early days, there were three main types of guitar-synthesizers:[citation needed]
Later, the multi-effects type evolved into modeling guitar, and the other two types evolved into current devices.
Presently, there are two main groups:[citation needed]
Both types have advantages and disadvantages.
Though the term "MIDI guitar" is sometimes used as a synonym, MIDI is not the indispensable feature of guitar synthesizers, especially after advances in DSP technology. Software-based guitar synthesizers without any special pickups have appeared, featuring polyphonic audio recognition (recognizing polyphonic pitches of each string, and possibly able to distinguish combination of fret positions and strings).
Typical instruments in this category consist of:
