Next-Gen Stringed MIDI-Controllers

Jammy EVO Translates Guitar Skills Into Any Instrument

— May 21, 2020 — Tech
Jammy EVO translates guitar skills into any instrument to create music in any genre. The device does this by connecting to a laptop or smartphone with DAW. This means that anyone with even basic guitar playing skills can play any instrument using just one device. Due to ongoing COVID-19 self-isolation and social distancing measures, Jammy EVO is more relevant than ever, allowing music enthusiasts to become a one-man-band.

Another thing that makes EVO stand out is its portability: being disassembled in half, the device is only 17.” With its new collapsible frame design, EVO can be even more compact than its predecessor, so it can be used on the go. Additionally, when not played, it doesn't take up much space in the bedroom studio. Further, improved ergonomics with more comfortable neck profile, optimized string spacing and more reliable construction of latch mechanisms make playing more fun than ever.

Jammy EVO will also feature a set of next-gen optical sensors that will reduce the MIDI latency to 8—10 ms, while also improving MIDI tracking. New mappable hardware controls will be also be added to the current push knob and accelerometer, while a long-awaited left-handed version will also be available. Jammy EVO is now available for pre-order on Kickstarter.
