The Electrosteel is an experiment to try to use the expressive power of the pedal steel guitar interface for synthesis control. I'd like to release it as a product with Snyderphonics, at some point.

The current prototype has 10 strings, 5 foot pedals, and 5 knee levers (vertical lever on left knee). It does not actually have vibrating strings - the strings you pluck are damped, and just used for plucking and muting detection. A pair of linear sensors detects the bar position of the left hand.
