it has really amazing sound !!
BRAVO THANKS MAN YOU'RE VERRY GOOD THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO
Complimenti sei veramente bravo
I like electric sound of violin
Posso sapere esattamente quale dei Cantini è questo ? Mi piace molto . Grazie
I have heard most of these video clips, all I as looking for a group violin demo on your violin. but nothing there.
I really like the bass sounds starting around 6:19 is that a midi sound or the string sound lowered some how?
also the strumming sounds are very nice. Are they midi or just the strings amplified?
Hi Gbtayc!
The bass sound is the sum of the midi bass (by gr55) with the natural electric sonic sound. With the gr55 you can build your own sounds (patch) using till 4 layers (natural pickup + 1 modeling sound as bass, synth or guitar + 2 synth sounds as brass, strings, winds....).
The strumming sounds is the natural electric sonic sound.
Sonic is a great instrument! :-)
bye
Does the violin work with the Yamaha motif xs ?
Great sound, I've just bought my cantini sonplus. Which preset are you using? Thank you
Ed Sulaiman Email Cantini. They'll send you user sounds for your GR55. I really am enjoying my Sonplus.
hello what is the name of the first piece you played
watched quite a few clips just see how a group violin /strings would sound like using a midi violin and gr55. none there.
This is pradeep from India...I want to buy this violin ...where I can get this
No clear info on the tech in this video. Are the sensors outputting analogue signal that is later converted to midi? Or is there an audio to midi converter inside the sensors? Are the converters housed in the violin or externally? Is there a latency with midi conversion, and if so, what is it in milliseconds? Video mentions signal can be mixed between "electric" and Midi, but no explanation on how the signal is split, or where.
I would imagine it doesn't output midi. It's like the roland gk pickups which will output to a gr55 synth (or vg88 etc), which understands the signal.
what type of effect are you using please?
+Abu Suliman
Hi Abu, I use Roland gr55 and a loop station (boomerang phrase sampler III)
Thank you for your reply Stephano, I have NS Design wav 4 violin, would it work with roland gr 55 or i have to have a midi violin. thank you
Hi Abu, for using gr55 you need a cantini sonic violin. The Sonic is perfect and cheap :-)
Otherwise you can use your electric violin with the loop station.
Bye
Please send a review unit to kerala

Starship troopers lol
I think someone forgot what MIDI is. This is just an electric violin, with FX pedals or some similar junk, Not MIDI!
Prove me wrong.
Smh. It has a MIDI output. Hahaha.
I do not hear a big difference between old Zeta Jazz Midi and this Cantini. First of all lets's get rid off this handicapped Roland GR synthesizer and talk about pure electric sounds
with ordinary effects added like a compression, reverb, delay, octave, chorus ,etc. Cantini is talking about new design bridge with dedicated sensors but all i hear is just enhanced bass sound. Plain sound is "gummy" and when playing fast passages or Eastern music with too many grace notes it's basically makes a quacking sounds and eats about 60% of notes in performance . I am using 5 string electric and electric acoustic violins for the last 25 years and I know well what kind of ingredients to add to make an electric violin sound good. Also, this Demo guys are very good violin players but theirs knowledge to make their product sound good is Zero! By connecting instrument to Dinosaur Roland GR they simply eliminate the harshness of sound and basically brainwashing potential buyers. It's like soup made with a lot of spices and ingredients while not adding any Salt . For a minute I thought that I am going to try this instrument for my upcoming jazz album but I guess I am going to send my 20 years old 5st Zeta jazz midi to Zeta to replace the preamp and the bridge to have a close to acoustic violin sound and get rid off that "gummy" sound which is extremely popular in Romania.
Hi. I play ns design wav 5
