I previously said how I was interested in buy a keytar with a "rock" vibe to it instead of a synthpop one. And then you all indicated that such a thing doesn't exist and we spoke little of it after that.
Anyway, I'm still eager to achieve that sort of thing, so my next crazy plan is to have my little two octave MIDI controller converted into a keytar that suits my intended style.
I'm looking to have the main features of the MIDI controller taken out of its plastic encasing and then housed in a wooden body, possibly with a Hammond organ sort of vibe, and then a guitar or bass neck attached to the top of it give it the keytar feel. All of this lefthanded naturally.
The little problem with this is that I don't have the slightest clue about how to do any of this sort of thing. I don't know what sort of peices I'd need, what sort of proffesional I'd have to talk to, or what sort of money I'd have to pay.
You all seem to know this, that or the other about making things work for you, does anyone have any info on this type of jazz?
just to refresh your memories, i want a mix of this http://www.terragalleria.com/images/us-ca/usca30630.jpeg and this http://www.citilink.com/~steveby/bolan.jpg
