Gibson Digital Guitar

My main interest here is this:

How does this affect the guitar as a midi controller.

Separation on six strings, not that interested in.

Sending guitar audio as digital data at the onset, that is very interesting, because that data can be sent pretty fast and of course manipulated, etc.

Can someone from Gibson answer this, will this affect / impact the guitar as a midi controller.

Midi travels at 32 kbps, Cat 5 Ethernet, 100 Mb or 12.5 MB / sec.

a lot faster than midi, now if this can speed up ptich to midi conversion or altogether replace it, yes, this is great.

I would really be interested in hearing from Gibson on this subject, have used the Axon controllers, and they are fast, but far from perfect, and I know guitar to midi (synth) controlling can defintiely use a breakthru in technology.

MIDI itself is over 20 years old and not ideal for transmitting guitar pitch data, now that gibson instantly converts the audio to digital data, and somehow we map that with some software (Apple's Core Audio, Core Midi on OS X comes to mind).

this would be great.
