MOTM

The only halfway decent systems I've heard about in the last few years
involve a custom guitar, that does not use pitch to voltage at all. To get
around the inherent lag time problem, a laser shines down each string and is
interrupted by the finger, allowing its position to be calculated and a
voltage or midi output derived. It senses sideways position for pitch
bending also.
