LAVA Music Genie Sampler Guitar White with storage bag
STOP ! DO not read if you have not the time, because this is the best review you can get : I know the company Lava Music, I know some co-founders of it and I was backer 1455 when the Lava Genie was a crowdfunding project. I could for 8 long weeks test the product when it arrived on december 16, 2024. I am on an interactive facebook-forum with the co-founders of Lava Music. What do you think, do we read on ?!
I saw this product, the Lava Genie, as a BETA product on youtube and tiktok websites. Because I've ordered the SUPER EARLY BIRD on the crowdfunding site, that's why I have the Lava Genie so early. In a way : I wanted that product because I could feel and see the possibilities with the device.
What you can do with this Lava Genie Sampler Guitar is playing a least Chords and with the help of other buttons you can play also more in a melodic way. You can load the Lava Genie with tons of presets as sound-samples to play at your fingertips. Those sounds you can choose from the Lava+ app library. You can use your own ChordCharts, eventually make those and you can use the ChordCharts coming from the Lava+ app, where you can use a link to a PC/Mac to edit/import your own ChordCharts with the Lava Genie ChordChart Editor. Know you don't need the latest up to date PC/Mac or Smartphone for that.
When I received the parcel from a delivery company, my father and I saw that Lava Music thinked deep about the good cardboard packaging for their product : It was a sturdy outer cardboard box with the real Lava Genie beautifull CardBoard box placed inside it, and buffered with a plastic protection. Even the corners of the outer cardboard box had plastic triangles around it and on top of that it was wrapped in plastic. I never saw a product as the Lava Genie so good protected from outer circumstances.
Now something about the background sound/drums on the Lava Genie : You have two kinds of it, a simple drum or an advanced drum, what you can softly stop with the stop button. What is so special about it, aside that the Lava Genie insdie is based on a industrial musical MIDI protocol, it has a kind of AI build-in that when you press one button on the finger-board, it generates extra sounds around the choosen presets and drums. Very cool ...
The Lava+ app is very intuitive designed, so slick and smooth as a race car : With a sturdy Lava Genie ChordChart Editor for your PC/Mac. You can choose from thausands of Artists, Songs, Presets and so on ...
I am be honest, I am addicted to this Lava Genie Samples Guitar since it arrived on my doorstep. I almost forgot I was learning to play piano/keyboard/keytar.
What else I can say, that I am involved on the Lava Genie Launch Group facebook-forum. Where we have interaction with the co-founders of Lava Music and their co-workers. I've worked in the computer science business for 10 years, from helpdesk to fully implement computers and servers in the network. I have never seen so a good interaction by Lava Music and their co-workers with the people who were standing behind the Lava Genie Sampler Guitar as a crowdfunding project. We share problems and ideas to improve every single day the Lava Genie as a high technological music instrument for simplifying music for people who like to learn music.
And because I am a Hardcore Backer of the crowdfunding project as backer nr. 1455 : Lava Genie is proudly alive and kicking ... . ANd what did I do, I gave the Lava Genie a face and a soul by pimping the product with a couple stickers.
My baby, my Lava Genie is straight coming from the production line : I could buy it, as I said, via the crowdfunding project.
Buy it or you miss a lifetime of joyment.
Can I give 6 stars on 5 ?!
