Whatever the DS can do, Wii can do better, right? Apparently Dave agrees with said mantra, as he has converted a Wii Guitar Hero axe into a full-fledged MIDI controller. As in, there’s a 5-pin jack down there and everything. In its current state, you can play two octaves of an eight note scale at at duration, alter the keys / octaves, change tonal modes, use

the whammy bar to bend the pitch and blow the minds of electrical engineering buds you still see on a regular basis. Granted, that mod isn’t precisely for the faint of heart, but feel free to hit the read link whether you’re hacker sufficient to handle it.
