  9. What is the latest news?

    Will it be here before Spring '11?

    Now that RB3 is out, have you had a chance to look a Pro mode and figure out if you can make this work in that mode?

  13. To work for most guitarists, there will have to be something that feels like strings along the fretboard and it will have to track bending strings.
    Will the Rock Controller support those two functions? If so, you have a winner for sure!

  15. Ok folks, thank you for your interest and patience. I'll try to answer most ?'s here.

    Yes, the Rock Controller is coming out.

    No, we are not giving a definite date for release as of yet, and don't want to NOT deliver on an arbitrary date and string you along.

    Yes, we are working on string bends.

    Yes, the RC will work in RB3 Pro mode and any other updated gaming functionality.

    Thanks!

  16. Also, @ Hondo, if you were at CES last year then you know that Starr Labs had more than a hand in creating the Z1 for GAMBRIDGE. You would also know by simply looking at these photos that the Starr Labs Rock Controller is quite a different instrument.
