iOS Gears Everything About ios
For this week’s giveaway, we’ve teamed up with Zivix to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win a Jamstik+ Smart Guitar, the company’s latest and greatest product. The Jamstik+ is a MIDI guitar controller that feels like a real guitar and works with the iPad, iPhone, and Mac. It’s 16-inches long and comes with real metal strings and frets to capture each musician’s unique playing style.
Compared to the original Jamstik, the new version connects to your iPad, iPhone or Mac using Bluetooth instead of WiFi, and it includes a new magnetic pickup to improve pick detection to better mimic an electric guitar.
Jamstik+ is a great way for novices to learn how to play the guitar because it comes with a dedicated series of JamTutor instruction apps, and there’s no experience necessary — anyone can use the Jamstik+. It uses the Jamstik’s finger-sensing technology to teach the basics of guitar playing. Jamstik+ can connect to a Mac, iPad, or iPhone wirelessly using Bluetooth, so there’s no cable to deal with, and its size makes it more portable than a traditional guitar.
Jamstik+ works with several exclusive apps, but it’s also compatible with the hundreds of music apps in the App Store. Unlike a real guitar, Jamstik+ does not need to be tuned, and it has a rechargeable battery that lasts for a full playing session (eight hours). The Jamstik+ is currently available for pre-order for $299.
