Resonator guitars are named so after the cone shaped "resonator" in the body of the guitar. This innovation was invented so too amplify the sound of the acoustic guitar, and early models were almost always made out of steel (The cone that is, the wooden body stayed wooden).

Could you use the supernova with a midi guitar?
If you mean the Supernova synthesizer from the company Novation, then, YES! By definition, a midi guitar has either no, or very limited sound generation capabilities of its own and actually needs a MIDI device (such as a synth like the Supernova) to produce the actual sound. The Supernova is a MIDI synthesizer, and a darn good one! Basically your midi guitar will send midi "messages" to the SuperNova which will produce the sound (assuming of course that you have it hooked up to an amplifier, your PC soundcard w/speakers, or headphones, etc). Good luck!

It was his second violin and he was pretty young. He was 23 years old, just married and I think you can hear that he was in love at the time. This thing took part in everything."

Nobody invented the rebec, since it evolved gradually over many years.
There was a very old Arab instrument called a rebabplayed in North Africa and the Middle East. This had a body carved from a single piece of wood covered in dried sheepskin for a sound board, with a long, narrow neck with a pegbox at the end. This instrument had one, two or three strings and was played with a bow or plucked, held vertically on the lap or on the floor.
The rebec developed in the 11th and 12th centuries in Europe, directly from the Arab instrument, although it usually had three strings and was small enough to lay along the left forearm while being played - generally with a bow. In the damp climate of Europe it was found difficult to keep the sheepskin soundboard dry and taught, so a thin piece of wood was used instead. This was often of close-grained pinewood.
The rebec did not remain popular for very long, being replaced by the viol during the medieval period.
Twelfth century manuscripts depict the rebec in many shapes and sizes, initially with two "D" shaped sound holes near the bridge.
