Make you inner band heard!
The HITar is an AI-powered augmented guitar that enables performers to play virtual drums and percussion by hitting the body of the instrument.
Our AI engine captures the expressiveness of each body hit: no two hits sound the same, just like on acoustic percussion. The HITar supports virtual instruments based on physical models or sample libraries, so that every performer can find their voice.
Hear the HITar with CNRS-AMU PRISM MetaSynth [1]
