'The You Rock Guitar just might be the MIDI guitar controller you've always wanted!'.

The You Rock Guitar is a digital guitar with three very special tricks. Firstly it's a game controller for the world's biggest selling music games. Secondly it's a digital guitar to bridge the gap between gaming and learning. And thirdly it's a MIDI/USB guitar, ideally designed for today’s digital music creators. Sound On Sound focus on this third aspect in the magazine's extremely positive review.

'...an affordable , practical MIDI guitar controller that someone should have produced years ago, but which nobody quite did'.

'There are two types of MIDI guitarist: one who wants to use the inherent qualities of the guitar in order to play MIDI voices more expressively than a keyboard allows, and the other who simply wants to be able to use software instruments without being able to play keyboards. There are plenty of options for the former, but suprisingly few for the latter, so the You Rock Guitar is a very welcome addition to the market, addressing what I think is potentially the larger group with an affordable, effective solution'.

'The specially coated rubber-membrane virtual strings actually give a surprisingly guitar-like tactile response, and most guitar players will be able to get usable results out of it in a matter of minutes...'

'...in terms of really simple, affordable guitar controllers for basic MIDI programming, the You Rock is it. There's nothing else. This is the simple effective controller I wanted when I first started working with MIDI in 1985 but I'm very happy to have it now, and it wont be going back, and wouldn't even at twice the price'.
