Here are the first photos of our latest offering, the Starr Labs Rock Controller. Being the first professional MIDI guitar and gaming controller, the Rock Controller comes with the advanced MIDI control functionality you'll find in our Ztar series (6 Zero-latency velocity sensitive string-triggers, TCA touch pads, 21 fret logarithmic neck, multi-polyphony modes, tunings, mappable zones, chording system, etc...) as well as the ability to interact with all music based video games on all platforms on the market now and in the future (including music teaching software). Also comes with: Whammy bar, 5 way Mod knife switch, 4 way hat switch, MIDI USB i/o, pedal & volume port, 2 programmable buttons, compact size, graphite finish!
What's the price on this?
ReplyDeleteWe're trying to keep it around $400 and below... hopefully$250-$300.
ReplyDeleteI am so buying one of these as soon as they come out!
ReplyDeletewill this have any sounds or just be a midi controller for external sound boxes/keyboards/computers ?????
ReplyDeleteYou're making me drool -- I *really* want one of these,
ReplyDeleteWhen can I give you money for one of these? This looks like the controller of my dreams
ReplyDeleteWhen can I have one?
ReplyDeleteWhat's the status of the Rock Controller? Will it be out soon? I want one!!!
ReplyDeleteBut is it rock band 3 pro guitar compatible?
ReplyDeleteI absolutely can't wait for a Starr Labs product that finally fits my budget! looking forward to seeing more on this instrument as it comes.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the latest news?
ReplyDeleteWill 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?
Any more news on this particular product? Been several months and an update would be nice, even if just a small one. :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for this! Please bring this to market soon...
ReplyDeleteWhat happened? Did it ever make production?
ReplyDeleteTo 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.
ReplyDeleteWill the Rock Controller support those two functions? If so, you have a winner for sure!

Some news would be nice. I'm really looking forward to this ever since I heard about it.
ReplyDeleteOk folks, thank you for your interest and patience. I'll try to answer most ?'s here.
ReplyDeleteYes, 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!
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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update, Starr Labs! :)
ReplyDeleteUahhhh, can't....wait...........must...have.......
ReplyDeleteSo this is gonna be just about the best instrument ever?
ReplyDeleteMan, I want one of these...NOW! Is there a list I can get on to be notified when this is on the market? Or is subscribing to this thread enough?
