The world needs more MIDI Swords

I honestly doubt you’re going to find leads to a manufacturer on this forum. I would try posting on synth-specific forums or even Reddit.

Thank for this advice, Norminal

Any instrument that looks like a scifi sword is worth making in my opinion

 

[Juhn]

Thanks Aleksi.

It worth making, for many reasons.
If I succeed to get all required hardware/electronic part for this instrument (or find manufacturer, who can do that), then this instrument will let you create your own musical instrument inside synthesizer (for example fretless, using semitone, graphical.. or just something)

This is good advice. Nothing but a bunch of wise asses around here.

I'm only being realistic here, but I really hope this is a labor of a lot of love and funding because this is going to cost you a lot of money to produce and likely won't sell well. I mean this with all due respect for your vision and creativity.

The biggest hurdle I see is getting people to pick up a new instrument to not only learn, but to have to program first. The majority of MIDI controllers out there mimic hardware instruments that exist: keyboards, drum pads, wind instruments, etc..designs that musicians are already accustomed to. Not so many people playing a sword-shaped thing with keys laid out in a 5x24 grid on the blade and more on the handle.

Best of luck, and yeah we're mostly guitar players. Maybe @Digital Igloo knows someone?
