JAMSTIK

If you are a music lover, you will love the JamStik digital guitar controller for iOS & PC devices. I had the opportunity to stop by at the JamStik booth in Engadget Expand event [Nov 9-10, 2013]. Zivix demonstrated the pre-production models of JamStik and The PUC wireless midi link and it was amazing.
