Wiimote guitar effects control
Hack a Day — [Rob Morris] sent us this video of his Wiimote based guitar effects. Similar to our post yesterday about using the Wiimote to control a synth, he is using changes in orientation to effect the sound. He starts off with simple pitch modulation, but later in the video he’s doing, uh, ...

Wiimote strapped on guitar for wild effects, whammy bar gets totally jealous
Engadget — Filed under: Misc. Gadgets, Gaming What can't be done with a Wiimote? No, seriously. You can use the thing to control your vacuum, homegrown video games and your very own robotic sentry. Oh, and now you can use it to make yourself a better guitarist. YouTube member ...

Wiimote Hacked into Guitar for Mindbending, Accelerometer-based Effects [Wiimote Orchestra]
Gizmodo — Hack a Day has a great video sent to them by a musician named Rob Morris, who uses the accelerometer data from his Wiimote to manipulate the sounds coming from his guitar. At the beginning of the vid, he shows how it can be used to change the pitch (using the Guitar Hero Star Power gesture), but then moves on to some crazier stuff, which involves using the actual Wiimote buttons to further distort notes and chords from the guitar, and it all sounds positively 8-bit. Morris says he uses a program called Max/MSP to send the Wiimote data to, then he sends that via MIDI to a whammy pedal ...

Hacker Gives His Guitar Nintendo Wiimote Powers
Wired: Gadget Lab — Very cool: Tech-savvy musician Rob Morris hooked up his Nintendo Wiimote to his guitar and used the controller's accelerometer data to manipulate the instrument's sounds. Check out the video above: He tilts his guitar upward (Star Power, anyone?) to change the pitch, and then he moves on to crazier sounds by pressing the Wiimote buttons.  [Hack a Day via Gizmodo] ...

Wiimote enabled whammy bar
Boing Boing Gadgets — Rob Morris' Wiimote hacked guitar is extremely cool: he's able to use the built-in accelerometer as a pitch-changing whammy bar by simply raising or dipping the guitar, and he can pull off even more fantastic sounds by pressing the Wiimote's face buttons. And then, of course, there's the fact that his band is called Vivian Darkbloom, making him — at the very least — Humbert Humbird's new favorite musician. Wiimote Guitar Effects Control [Hack A Day]

Wii-controlled guitar
CrunchGear — Rob Morris added a Wiimote to his guitar and ran the accelerometer output through his synth gear. The result is quite cool, in a “I taped a Wiimote to my guitar” kind of way and but he sadly doesn’t include instructions for us who would like to be about to rock, ...
