Combining the GuitarPie with the Voystick (vocal joystick) would rock!

Keyboard and voice navigation, analog "voystick" vocal joystick formant/pitch tracking:

This is cool, but I'm having a hard time seeing this working in a real product.

Guitarists have been using their picking hand or pedal controls since the beginning of the electric guitar without much fuss or concern.

I also thought pie menus died off because everyone decided they were too limited, hard to understand, and overall annoying regardless of the input method.

Well, pie menus tend to work pretty well in video games in various contexts. Commo-rose style communication callout menus are a prime example.

Talk about nominative determinism! Fender and Funk?
