Not sure if this is the right place to ask or which part of the forum lol...

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a small wireless midi controller pad that is available to stick on guitar and can control things with your fingers.
Kind of like a korg kaos thingy but like it to be wireless and work with hardware. Not interested in it working for computer / software stuff.

Of course they also make the ones you can have installed in your guitar but that's not an option. Just looking for a small one to stick on body of guitar.

I looked a lot of places and not finding anything but maybe someone knows!

I'm not sure if this is still available or not but there's the Guitar Wing:

Yeah I had it twice but it's just bulky and didn't like the way you have to set things up etc.. but part of that could be me being lazy sometimes haha.

I still own two - extremely bulky and zero support- the developer had medical issues circa 2014 and the entire Livid Instruments product line ceased all support 7 years ago the firmware, Forum, and control app links all lead to dead web pages

Closest today is the Graviton M1 you recieved 10 days ago

There are DIY Kaoss Pad implementations ( like a Manson Guitar)  but those are bulky.

There is the RevPad , but sadly its only sold as the remote for a bulky FX Box  and rare today - company died in 2017

Yeah I had the revpad as well awhile back.

I messaged graviton about maybe seeing if they can make a small wireless xy pad for guitar that will work with graviton m1

Yeah I know of that too, which is why I put this in my original post "Of course they also make the ones you can have installed in your guitar but that's not an option"

I wonder if this would work with graviton m1? Both have bluetooth le connectivity.

So could this connect to graviton m1 via bluetooth and control midi parameters I have set with my gm-800?

Its rare to have third party BLE Central Master products ( Gravitron M1) connect to separate third party BLE peripheral controllers ( Roli Block)

They tend to assume an IOS or MacOS device will be the destination to be controlled

Its a revolution as today Roland/ Boss markets BLE Wireless peripherals that all connect to internal BLE Master interfaces on Pocket GT, GT-1000, BT-DUAL equipped products.
https://www.boss.info/global/products/fs-1-wl/

CME WIDI Products are most likely to accommodate third party BLE peripherals and  have eclipsed Quiccosound and PUC+ wireless MIDI

If Luminite Engineering takes requests, there may be hope- but in general most companies desire to rope you into their own BLE Peripherals. And not support the growing list of third party BLE devices

Cool, graviton got back with me and wrote :D

"Yes touch pad is in the plan !
Controllable by both touch and XY joystick "

You could stick an iPhone on your guitar and run a customizable MIDI controller app on there. On iOS there's MIDI Designer and Touch OSC -- and probably others that will transmit BT MIDI.

agreed - or use an Android phone with a MIDI Controller App
