So if you want to make a D chord, you will have to know the position of your fingers on the neck and then draw a vertical line on the tablet. This version is fretless, but i divided the neck to 16 notes corresponding to the fret's position of a real guitar. All the buttons, pots, ir, accelerometer, piezo, ... can be assign to any control in pure data & gimp: fx, sound, octave and also for visual (changing color, changing layer). Hi Bish,

So no need to post the code and schematic (although I'm sure others would be interested - as would I) but a basic rundown of how you actually control the instrument would be good!
