Filed under: Electronic Instruments, MIDI Controllers, StrangeBen Brown plays his bizarre DIY monome guitar synth thing, aka the Guitarnome:
I’m playing the guitar I made from scratch, with a monome kit embedded in it. It was a long project… but fun.
Some parts are a bit out of tune(need to do some more guitar work) and Im still figuring out the setup(running 7up live on the monome). The audios pretty crappy on this recording unfortunately as my speaker setup was a bit janky… but hey! it was fun. Ran the vid through ScreenFlow for some super quick editing and export.
I’m using Ableton Live for my audio bits and a Presonus Firepod to process my voice and guitar signal. We kinda just did this spur of the moment so I didnt get the audio from Ableton.
The Guitarnome is not a traditional guitar synth, but rather a monome/guitar mashup.
The Guitarnome has a body made from cherry, wenge, and maple, a neck with a zebra wood fret board and a birds eye maple neck. Brown embedded a Monome within the body and custom built the encasing for all the electronics. The Guitarnome has USB & 1/4″ outputs.
In volume 5 of Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Bill Ruppert recreates the song Autobahn by the band Kraftwerk.
No keyboards,samplers or midi pickups were used.

Guitar Synthesizer Music
This is an audio preview of Neil Nappe’s July – a rare album of 80’s guitar synth music.
According to the back of the album, it was done with “Guitar Synthesizer, M.I.D.I. and more M.I.D.I.” Released on a short-lived label and not re-issued to this day.
According to Nappe, “July was performed entirely on synthesizers of one sort or another (except for a bit of my trusty ‘74 Les Paul) and recorded in my home on 4-track cassette format.” Read more…
