gTar Releases SDK For iOS and Javascript

This morning, Incident Tech announced the release of a strategic developer kit (SDK) for their gTar iPhone MIDI guitar controller. The SDK will provide iOS and Javascript developers with direct access to the gTar hardware for creating gTar-compatible browser apps.

The company also announced that the gTar is now compatible with more than 150 different apps, several of which are used in the demonstration video, above.

Additionally, the company is also releasing an “unofficial custom script” for using the gTar with Ableton Live:

With this integration, the gTar’s fretboard transforms into an interactive control surface for DJing and live performance, allowing a single performer to toggle between triggering pre-made sound clips and soloing with live instruments, all without ever taking their hands off the guitar. With the support of some world-renown[ed] recording artists and performers, we’re excited to see what the future holds for the gTar in the context of the stage and studio.

Pricing and Availability

Interested developers can find these new development resources on the Incident Tech website. The gTar is now available via the company’s website for $399, including a padded backpack gTar case.
