Casio DG-20


I was browsing ebay today and stumbled upon this little gem...I must have one soon!! The casio DG-20 was built as a guitar synthesizer. It has 6 strings which sense when you pluck them and sensors under the fretboard to tell where your fingers are. All of this information gets converted into midi notes that play through a casio like on board synth. There are 20 built in sounds plus 80's style rhythms (built 85-87). Best of all it has a MIDI output so you can use it as a midi controller giving it infinite functionality. Gotta love those nerds in the 80's slapping midi on everything! Check out this cool video.
