Thing #7: technology related blog

So, one piece of technology that has been of interest to me in the last week has been my newest musical instrument. It is called a Unisynth, a bit of both synthesizer and guitar. It is also the type of guitar I would imagine unicorns to use if they were a little better with their hooves. The frets are made of rubber with sensors underneath so it can tell where your fingers are. It has portions of real strings, which are used as triggers when strummed to let it know when to make sound. It features the latest technology (as of 1984) including several voices such as "vibes," "vibes 2," "guitar," "guitar 2," "brass," and "synth." It also has a whammy bar. Here is a picture of one like mine (below).
