Yes, the dev Matthias Demoucron has intensively studied the gesture in musical performance and published a thesys about "virtual violins ***" : https://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00349920/document
FingerFiddle, it is like if his "obsession" and all these knowledges have finally come to the world.
After the passing years, I am still very impressed by the result achieved (by a single person !) and no other app comes close to this regarding virtual acoustic instrument. A true masterpiece of programming...
👍
Thanks for that. Great timbres! I will try to emulate this approach in AUM with Rozeta lfos.
Finger Fiddle is amazing. SWAM is very good but Finger Fiddle is next level...but requires practice...it is like a real instrument unto itself.

Does Finger Fiddle have midi in?
No. It is really meant to be performance based. No midi in or out. Not AUv3 (because one should be focused on performing in one instance). It is worth learning.
Ahhh....
If it had midi in then I would be interested.
I can already play basic violin.
Thank you for replying.
Of course! Yes I can see if you have the skills to play a real violin, then that would be more appealing for sound/realism. This is nice to be used for all 4 parts of a quartet, but does require some skill. Best sounding cello on iOS, if you put in the time.
Yeah, a good sounding violin app or samples are useful when composing
and one can't pull out the instruments at three in the morning.
Still, I'll keep it on my shopping list for when I've got some free time.
😶 👌

The thing is (and why midi input doesn't make sense) is that it is so responsive to how you bow it...both where your you bow and how fast..that much would be lost with midi control imo. And so much control over pitch.And the sound quality is amazing.
There is a video of an Indian musician playing that sounds like real sarangi.
Sharing this because I didn’t see much posts on it. Video LUTs is free. If you’re a Luma Fusion user looking for LUTs, you gotta get this - https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/video-lut-editor/id1170270352
Yup $.99 in US
Seems to be 4.99 in UK
Okay, that's convinced me to get it.
I'm not going to get it right now because of time constraints but my usual schedule
is during winter I learn new things so this is definitely going to be there.
Yes, I am sorry to say to all the people who think « it doesn’t have midi in ? ah, well I think I will pass » : as @espiegel123 said, it can’t have midi in because it wouldn’t make sens. FingerFiddle couldn’t be as good as it is if its sound engine could be simply triggered by conventional note-on / note-off midi messages. When you play FingerFiddle, you understand that there can’t be any midi equivalence.
I'm about to find out.
Downloading now.
I heard some examples.
👍
Find the layout (in the options) that fits the best to you.
Yup.
Very cool.
It's strange to be playing a screen.
One doesn't get the feedback that one gets from a traditional instrument
so that will take practice to get it to a more complex level.
I would have to change the angle of the iPad
as it's currently in it's normal position.
It's quite convincing sound wise.
I'm listening on headphones.
Here's a thought.
When composing one visuals a piece being played by people.
When recording, getting across that sense of realism
can be quite awkward when using sequencers.
What makes the difference is the subtle timing of the parts themselves.
Recording Fingerfiddle parts using a looper would be very interesting indeed.
I may try it next.
One moment.
I also think that one could up the realism of a MIDI string section by having one of the parts played or doubled with FingerFiddle...kind of the way Pete Townshend used real violin in quadrophenia along with the synthesized strings.
Yup.
Agreed.
I’ve just created some
loops using AudioKit L7.
Very cool.
The realism is quite something.
I removed the reverb and really listened.
The physical modelling is superb.
I’m going to practice before I share.
Oh....
Combined with Spatializer?
Oh wow....
Ooo good find thanks!
@Gravitas not sure your iPhone situation but if you still have one that supports 3D Touch, it is really well done.
Yes, there’s a learning curve. But for someone who is used to the interplay of hand movement as a classical instrument player or even for a guitarist, it should be a relatively smooth learning curve.
I was about to check if it were universal.
I still have an iPhone with 3D Touch so I'll be sure to experiment with that.
Thank you.
Agreed.
I'm a guitarist rather than a violinist though
I've added violin to the list of instruments that I study.
I already have a basic track happening.
Very simple pizzicato and legato notes to hear the modelling
and to hear how it combined together as a cohesive sound.
I'll take my time to get to it know it.
