[@jasonlieberman4606]

You wouldn't even need all members of the symphony to be able to create like that, really just a composer who knows the tech, or a good collaborator. There are already plenty of people with the talent for it, so maybe the idea just needs to reach the right people. Could be anyone from Serj Tankian to Zedd to Danny Elfman to Trent Reznor to Hans Zimmer...

[@matszh]

Jason Lieberman Film-scoring for sure, but I think there is room for more performers that compose and arrange in a transcending way too, still being melodical and not too experimental. An example is the 70’s group Ekseption.

you should give the tc electronics sentry noise gate a try, you could use it to have a sharp cutoff when you stop playing so it cuts out the the farty squelch noise you get when you stop playing and the tracking on the synth pedal gos Fbbbbt! it should give you a nice clean stop :)

Your video makes it clear that all working musicians today have to have production chops. Kudos!

[@lancetownsend6226]

I'm an electric guitar player, and a producer. and this came into my feed. This is fascinating to me, I had no idea an electric violin even existed. There is a company of guitars called 'Godin'. They are a higher end Canadian company. They make a line of guitars that use a piezo pickup on each string. (similar to how I imagine the Eviolin works) With the piezo pickup, they have a "13 pin output", and a regular output. What this is isn't important. I dont know myself. But what I do know is that the output of the 13 pin connector can be sent into a midi converter, and then sent Into something that accepts midi like a physical synthesizer, or even a DAW, where you can use a free Virtual instrument to control anything, whether it's a virtual synthesizer or a sampler or even chromatic recordings loaded into a sampler. Basically, if this type of violin existed, where it had a piezo pickup on each string, and a 13 pin output, with some extra equipment you could even control vocal samples on your computer with your violin. Or anything really. A vocal sample was just a fun idea (you play C4 for example, and it will play a recording of you saying something until you stop "strumming" the string) This would be fascinating. I will be listening to your music. You have piqued my interest

What you talk about is nothing more than advanced home-Casio. It's a midi / synth violin you see in the video. She showed a synth "voice" of some sorts. My home-Casio is on an iPad mini. To play synth/midi violin I find a piano in there to do it. My electrical guitar also plug into the iPad but works like a wave recording or similar to a microphone. Putting midi there serves no purpose with the other midi instruments and would end up like auto-tune work instead of playing guitar.

Just for anyone playing with electronics; Guitar amps are a waste of time for violin, as much as bass amps are for guitar. The capacitors in the tone network have values tuned to the time domain characteristics of guitar. Making these an octave higher and using different speakers is essential - I was thinking of making a KZbin video about this. Also, for the most natural feel from an electric violin, plug it into a Trace Elliot acoustc amp as the preamp is designed to correct the reactance of piezo electric pickups. This turns guitars from snappy, harshness into smooth tones. Plugging my electric violin in was like playing acoustically - really amazing! I used to play violin but am a guitarist through and through.

[@shortugae]

You're right aside from the assumption that bass amps aren't good for guitar. Plenty of people play guitar through bass amps and it sounds great. Yes they are more designed for the lower frequencies a bass guitar outputs but that more has to do with the design of the speaker rather than the circuitry of the amp itself. (though not entirely obviously)

If you really like fuzz and tremolo get a Walrus Audio Janus. Its just fun to play with.

[@beseakos]

Can’t believe how inspiring this was for me. As someone who just went through getting a masters degree in violin performance - similarly classically trained - and slowly gravitating towards playing in pop music and electronic live performances alongside my local scene I am in trouble coming up with ideas how to make myself useful. This video gave me a whole lot of ideas. Including the “violin synth” idea. Haven’t really went through the trouble of getting pedals just yet, mostly messed around with my band mates’ pedals, but this definitely gave me a solid start for shopping around later. Another question. Have you tried using your violin as a midi controller for synths or is that too difficult to pull off? I am thinking of doing that and the more I looked into it the more conflicting answers I got.

[@serohme47]

There are actual electric violins that have midi incorporated into the pickup. Violins otherwise give most pedals a hard time; pedals tend to be made for guitars and therefore have a difficult time processing violin unless you have a great pickup, good EQ, loud signal, etc. Regarding MIDI specifically, you'd probably need a MIDI violin. I don't think there's another way around it.

Learn music theory. Not the classical academic morass of needless confusion. It's a lifetime process so don't be indignant. Find your sound sure🤷‍♂️ but get that out of the way. Learn how to improvise melidically over complex harmonies🤦‍♂️🎶. Orchestration by itself especially via electronic means just becomes pornophonic a term used by a composition teacher I knew. Use it in moderation! Architecture at its most compelling is a function of deep knowledge of harmony Bach etc. Jazz will help! Study with the most advanced sensitive jazz pianist who'll have you. Don't just learn to shred over harmonically static formats😐good journey but push yourself. Here are clues youll find compelling👂Wayne Shorter Ballads like Infant Eyes or Iris or Fall also Coletrane Giant Steps and Countdown, Bill Evans for inspiration and Kenny Wheeler too. Also Ralph Towner and Oregon. The new heavies include Jacob Collier, Tigran what's his name and oh hell can't remember. Don't get confused I mean distracted by just kennetics technique isnt really what I'm talking about. Chet Baker and Miles Davis werent technical monsters but had intuitively internalized enough brass tacks theory so they found themselves their center. Start an inquiry that will sustain you into old age babe. Also every post on my channel is harmonically involved feel free if you're curious. I'm 60 and I say this to you with love and best intentions.

[@mcmire]

This is sooo dope. I'm a keyboard player and there are plenty of examples of doing a sick solo on a keyboard with a pitch wheel and all kinds of tricks, but I had no idea you could do the same thing on violin. I didn't even know that electronic violins were a thing you could buy (some electronic instruments are very niche). I really like that since you don't have frets you can slide up and down, so when you're doing a solo it sounds more natural than a pitch wheel. Very cool, keep it up.

I will have a look into that Organelle, sounds interesting. There is another very nice synth pedal around called C4 made by Source Audio. On the front it only has four knobs and six presets. But you can use it with Midi to have more presets and adjust other parameters. When you fire up the Software on a tablet, smartphone or computer it's like an old analog synthie. The 4 stands for four voices and you can have four sine, square or whatever .. or the signal with a fuzz or any kind of distortion on top.

[@DamianSol]

I know I'm a few years late to this particular party, but one of the most fun pedals I've run my violin through is the C4 Synth from Source Audio. It's kinda gnarly how detailed it is, from a beginner sound design perspective, but even just tweaking the knobs (without getting into the deep settings available through an app) sounds tremendous on violin. Cello, too, is super cool with the low end synth rumble.

[@noisemodule]

Love those glitchy tones from the Organelle mixed with your dry signal. My 2 cents, should you or anyone else be interested: If you haven't yet heard, listen to Jean-Luc Ponty's solo on Mahavishnu Orchestra's "Eternity's Breath Pt. 1" from Visions of the Emerald Beyond. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4nUgXiGhZmpptE You may not be into the vintage Jazz-Fusion Prog-Funk vibe, but Ponty's sound is undeniably other-worldly. Electric violin through a wah-wah. (With a touch of fuzz?) That tone makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up every time. The violins are double-tracked, but I'm not sure how he got some of those low notes. Possibly an octave divider engaged momentarily? He is also credited as playing baritone violin on that album... Check out a vintage MuTron C-200 Volume-wah if you have a chance. Not cheap, but in addition to a 0 to +10db boost it features a very smooth and musical response curve, often described as "vocal", because it employs an optical-electrical circuit, and can provide volume and wah simultaneously or individually (great for building chordal pads with a looper). So including the boost, it's really like 3 pedals in 1. I imagine your violin through a MuTron Bi-Phase wouldn't sound too shabby either!

[@acb9896]

Listen to Wendy/Walter Carlos' work on the synth they built in 1969/70 .the string patches are absolutely mind blowing.

[@lodrezzon]

Just a quick question. When you were making the Roland MC-101 video, was the song based on ELO's "The Whale"? (They share the same chord progression). I just wondered since they are obviously a live string focused band, so I thought you might have found inspiration in the tune.

[@djmmjd3]

You should also try using an Impulse Response loader to create realistic string sounds as well. A number of string players I know now have convincingly realistic tone from things like electric violins or piezo pickup based violins. You can get 80-95% of the way there. There's tons Gtr pedals that do it now, as long as you can load your own IRs into it. ToneDexter, Fishman Aura, Two Notes, or even better Line6 Helix for extra tweakability.

[@brothergoodfoot]

I've never felt those piezo pickups sound good. On acoustic guitars, on violins, on anything. I can't understand why true electric violins (metal strings and magnetic pickups) didn't become a thing when electric guitars did. Maybe you can be the one to bring forth my dream! Metal strings, magnetic pickups, and a big Marshall amp that wants to feedback :) :) :)

Ms. Bad Skankface🤓, I am not an electric violinist, I’m an ‘lectric harmonica guy. I have found the Strymon Lex - a Leslie emulator that is pretty killer. Only the Lex and the Vent do a really convincing Leslie emulation. It can make your sound “move around the room” in a very acoustic way, and give you that Hammond organ vibe. Just try one. It might work for u. Love the enzo, btw. I just might get me one of them boxes.

[@davidwilson6577]

E-violin effects are still lightyears behind traditional rock instruments. They haven't been thought out properly. Like, a violin has a very soft attack, and a compressor with any significant threshold is going to ruin so many of the notes in a fast phrase, as it does here. The distortion used here makes the thing sound like a bad synthesizer too, I don't know if that's because the signal was already processed or if it's just too heavy but I think a blended overdrive might work better. I'm just disappointed every time I hear an E-violin.
