You won’t believe it’s not an actual guitar! Stringy is a tiny guitar synthesiser soldering kit from Boldport. Stringy synthesizes guitar sounds using an efficient implementation o f the Karplus–Strong string-plucking synthesis algorithm implemented on a tiny PIC microcontroller. It can play notes over five octaves (twelve notes per octave) in either acoustic or electric guitar style. This was a collaborative project between Boldport and James Hutchby from MadLab. Boldport thanks James for his ingenuity and for allowing them to re-implement his original project. Note: requires through-hole soldering!
