BEHRINGER has announced the iAxe Guitar in hopes of changing people’s perceptions about the devices they use to make music.

iAxe ships with a range of free apps that allows users to begin playing as soon as they open the box. The app will allow users to learn to play the guitar, add percussion, bass tracks and even build and control an entire band.

“Air Guitar” mode allows anyone to play classic songs, while “On Stage” can trigger other instruments and let you play your own complex composition live. While playing, a second dock located on the headstock area allows the player to read music or lyrics from an iPod or iPhone (News - Alert), the company stated in a press release.

“With the iAxe Guitar, I wanted to make a product that introduces everyone to the lifelong pleasure of making music by not only providing instant musical gratification but to also guide and grow the musician’s talent toward becoming a sophisticated guitar player. The iAxe Guitar uses the power of a tablet computer and the creativity of our partner developers to become a truly open platform for musical expression,” stated Uli Behringer.

Fixed securely inside the body of the guitar, the iAxe is much more than an electronic controller or user interface for the iPad. The iAxe Guitar is based on BEHRINGER’s concept of “progressive discovery” to unlock the joy and fun of making music without the frustration that many beginners experience, as it is designed around an open eco-system of apps. The iAxe is the perfect entry point for aspiring guitarists, bridging the gap between games like Guitar Hero and a real guitar.

Recently, the company announced that it was launching 50 new products in its Eurosound consumer electronics line. The powerful 10,000 watt iNuke Boom is on full display along with cool new products like the Mini Blue rechargeable bluetooth speaker, the Splash 100 floating bluetooth speaker, and the Eclipse Soundbar.
