![]() ![]() Having produced a decent IR and loaded it onto an appropriate platform, like one of the many pedals now available, pretty much the best way to trigger that would be a piezo on a bridge on a two-by-four in that it would be stable and piezo signal possibly more linear to the bow technique than if it were on a floating, absorbent base. ![]() In a live situation, that may be a lot better than the alternatives, but the result won't have much to do with the sound of the original fiddle.You're correct in one way, but maybe not in the way you intended, and in another way, but not to the extent you might think. When you play a piezo pickup through an impulse response box, you're basically playing a modeled violin. We're still in the realm of my comment about a two-by-four with a bridge and strings. There it ends, however: it basically only makes one sound with my acoustic cello, I can make dozens. As long as I don't push it too hard, it actually produces a fairly plausible cello sound. Mine is not IR-based, but it uses a cabinet and speaker specifically chosen and tuned by its maker - much the same thing, really. Some of that advanced technique (most likely, bow contact point) will still apply to an "electric" rig some of it certainly won't. Give a famous Strad to an amateur (on second thought, don't!) and you'd hear them stuggle to manage what's basically the musical equivalent of a thoroughbred race horse. Some famous historical violins and cellos have serious wolf tones that top tier players (the only ones given the use of such instruments) manage to control through playing technique. ![]() Also, for classically-trained string players, the impulse response of their instrument is slightly maleable by means of skilled playing. In a live situation, that may be a lot better than the alternatives, but the result won't have much to do with the sound of the original fiddle. ![]()
