It's really rather amazing how well these MIDI controllers from the 1980s and early 1990s have not only survived, but they still interface just fine with modern equipment. There aren't too many standards from that era that have aged so well. I converted a Quickshot MIDI Composer by slapping a MIDI-to-USB interface into it (hard wired, entirely in the shell) and that gets used far more than my real synth that weighs 30 kg because I can easily wave it around with one hand and put it exactly where it's convenient. I also have more modern inputs like a Korg Nanopad and an EWI USB, and they all play nice together.

I have the Rolantd GR-55. It is just a guitar synthesizer. it kind of combines the midi and sounds box into the same box, and frustratingly does not really generate or send out usable midi, so to use it with a computer like you did with drums. It is an odd unit as well, since it is fairly modern, but still has a bit of that hard to find information or documentation about the many options for each effect and setting for pickup sensitivity. You can still get cables and pick ups though.

Check out Godin, a fellow Canadian brand. They make relatively inexpensive gear at amazing quality, and most importantly some of their guitars have a 6 piece transducer pickup and a 13 pin output, in addition to a regular output. The 13 pin can be sent into a converter and then sent into your interface for example and you can control virtual instruments with it, that come with pro tools! I don't believe I can post links in the comments section but definitely check them out.

the TX18Z is a rack version(no keys just a tone generator) of the DX11 synthesizer from Yamaha(the breath controller might have given some people the hint it was a DX synth) and the g10 essentially just adds back the keys to the dx11. It's good if you can't play a piano but in reality it's an over complicated and more expensive version of one of Yamaha's budget models of DX synthesizers.

Had a similar idea i would like to give yamaha. Make a guitar with touch-sensors inside the frets. So that you can play chords on one string with 4 fingers on the 4 frets of a String. That way some ot the chord fingerings used on piano would also be accessible by guitar players. The sensors should use the same technology used by touchscreens, they should sense the touch of a fret by electric currents, so you dont have to press hard. They could also make this a way to play guitar easier if you dont have enough strenght in your fingers or athrosis or smth. because touching the frets would be enough to trigger the digital sounds, and by making it adjustable through software we could make the guitar ignore things like fret buzz.

Plus the onboard piano sound is acceptable if you use the 1/4" jack output. You just have to be patient with all those bum notes...
