Article excerpt:
…”this week, veteran audio gear manufacturer Apogee lets guitarists control their sound hands-free with the launch of the $395 GiO for Mac computers. It lets you tap controls with your feet, like those guitar pedals favored by guitarists going back to Hendrix and his Wah-Wah pedal.
Marrying musical instruments with computers isn’t new. For years, musicians have been able to connect with a variety of interfaces, mixers and other tools for making music. But once connected, musicians had to fiddle with a computer mouse and space bar to control the recording process.
“Now you’re free to play,” says Sean McArthur, director of marketing for Apogee.
Peter Thorn, a Los Angeles guitarist who is currently in Eagle Don Henley’s touring group, has used the GiO and says the big advantage is being able to keep his hands on the guitar and not the mouse.
“It’s just really cool to be able to do it all with your feet, on the floor,” he says”
