Of course there are numerous designs but how does one like this used by Rob Swire (Pendulum) work? Does each key just represent a different tone of the artist choosing or does it go through different ranges like a real guitar would?

I would imagine that the buttons on the fret board are the notes and the strings are used as the triggers.
Essentially this would create what is required for Midi : Pitch and Velocity (note and volume).
The other knobs/buttons would probably be for other CC (control change) commands. Eg changing synth patches, or individual parameters.
As far as I can see, this is simply a fancy midi controller.
Disclaimer : I don’t own one, but did tinker with an old bolt on Midi pickup (Roland GK-3) back in the day.
