( Are there any line-eaters lurking? )

Back in August-September, there was some discussion in net.music.synth about
the Pitchrider 7000 guitar-to-MIDI interface from Cherry Lane Tech in New
York. I have some updated information on availability of this unit.

Cherry Lane has totally sold off rights to the Pitchrider to Kramer Music (
makers of Kramer Guitars ) They are planning to distribute the product 
through the standard Kramer dealer network. The availability as quoted by
Kramer is approximately mid-to-late December. When shipments start, any dealer
who carries Kramer will be able to get the Pitchrider. No information as to 
whether the suggested list of ~$1000 is still valid.      

This unit provides a hex pickup and a rackmountable interface unit to allow
your solid-body electric guitar to speak MIDI. One string per MIDI channel
is reputedly supported. 

If there are any electronic guitarists/guitar synthesizer folks out on Usenet,
let's hear from you! This interest area has been very quiet on the net in the
past few months.


Yours for homegrown music,
