So, if you love KORG Kaossilators and want to make them even easier to use, you might want to try on this crafty DIY project for size. No, you’re not seeing things. Someone has really wired up a Kaossilator to a Guitar Hero guitar remote.
How can it be, you may be wondering? Well, James Haskin got inspired when seeing Wayne Coyne’s double-necked Guitar Hero creation and decided to change up his Kaossilator just a tad.
If you like to play the video game, Lips, but enjoy some of the other music-oriented games as well, you’ll be pleased to learn Microsoft is now making the Lips wireless microphones compatible with other games. Fans rejoice!
Music games seem to be everywhere these days. More specifically, Guitar Hero is absolutely everywhere, and now with the release of Guitar Hero World Tour, more people are gaining exposure to the game. And for those that love it, they’ll be pleased to hear that they can now play it on their mobile phones.
While some gamers are busy enjoying themselves with Guitar Hero: World Tour, which launched on Monday, others are experiencing huge problems with drum sensitivity. In some cases undersensitive, in others oversensitive, the only common theme is frustration. Now publisher Activision has announced a fix to allow the sensitivity of individual drum and cymbal pads to be tweaked; however it’s not the in-game simple fix many might have hoped.
The first Guitar Hero: World Tour feedback is coming in, after the game was officially released yesterday, and it’s a mixed bag. Some gamers are reporting poor drum synchronization when playing in band mode, with problems calibrating the drum response to the rest of the instruments. There are also some sporadic claims of poor quality control, with some of the drum pads failing to recognize hits.
If you’re a Guitar Hero or Rock Band diehard, then this is an accessory you just can’t live without. I mean, look at it! The Gene Simmons Axe Guitar is in the shape of a battle axe and just screams awesome.
We’ve been hearing about it for so long, it’s almost a surprise that it hasn’t already been released. Still, today’s the day and Activision have announced that the much-anticipated Guitar Hero: World Tour has hit shelves. New instruments, new online and offline play modes and, of course, new tracks add up to what will probably be a key holiday must-have. Not only is Guitar Hero: World Tour itself available, but bundle sets including the new wireless instruments.
Logitech have set out to show Starpex that they’re not the only people who can make a more realistic, wooden controller for Guitar Hero, with the launch of their Premiere Edition Wireless Guitar. Licenced by Guitar Hero publisher Activision, the controller has a wooden neck, a rosewood fingerboard and metal frets and tuners. Integrated 2.4GHz wireless gives it a 30ft range.
Well this is definitely not cool! According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Rage Wireless Guitars for the Wii are not safe for consumers! 57,000 of the guitars have now been recalled and there’s no word if this product will make it back to the market.
Peak Products have finally released their Starpex Guitar Hero and Rock Band controller, made from high-gloss lacquered wood and including both wired and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity. The first model to hit shelves is the Obsidian, which as the name might suggest is black; that will be followed on October 31st by Dead Rose and Black Sunburst versions.
