It won't replace the Helix, but I finally broke down and bought the GR-55 to replace my Synthony II as and so many others have suggested and wade back into the world of MIDI as well. Thanks for making this video with such a clear explanation of how the violin actually triggers from string to string etc - as well as setting out a more realistic set of expectations for MIDI's capabilities. It's always tempting to dive in deep.... but sure helps to wade into the pool with a clearer understanding of the basics to begin with. Many thanks bro !!

What is comes down to is Midi was designed for defined notes as on a piano. (Kind of sort of needed until recently where we can now do AI interpolation.) Many instruments don't have defined pitch; the musician has to an extent infinite control of the pitch. They can also do wonderful things such as a slide and vibrato. But it does not translate well to Midi which again was designed more for a piano type instrument. Maybe a new Midi standard that reported pitch rather than notes thousands of times a second could keep up. That also requires essentially AI synths than can model the infinite range of an instrument rather than just a few hundred samples at predefined notes.

I feel like using FFT and some fancy DSP logic, a single pickup could do all this.

The midi violin (ie: zeta/Cantini/Fourness/etc.) also makes a difference in how well the instrument tracks.You didn't include that into a comparison factor. Also there are other analog to midi units besides the GR55 out there that can be used. I would like to see a comparison about all the various possibilities available for midi violin. What about the I2M?

Which is the best electric violin for playing it unplugged?? In order to do it more silence. Which maintains more sound quality? For example I can hear people playing the violin on my cellphone and I can reduce the volume without altering the quality of the sound at all. Is that possible? I mean, is it posible to have an electric violin that sounds like a reduce volume acoustic violin? Maybe the strings, the mute, the bow or something special?

thanks for this vid. Can the midi violin be sent to the computer so i can use it to trigger any plug in I like in Logic? Thanks

Yes, but you'll need to go into a GR-55 and then out through the USB. Your computer should recognize the GR-55 as an input device just like it would a keyboard.
