Stroh Violin – new acoustic instrument invented by John Matthias Augustus Stroh
Impact Soundworks has announced the release of the Stroh Violin, a curious acoustic instrument invented by electrical engineer John Matthias Augustus Stroh.
Stroh conceived of a violin constructed with a metal resonator and horn, producing a louder, brighter sound compared to a traditional wood violin. He patented his design in 1899.
While this unique modification of the violin never overtook the popularity of perhaps the most classic orchestral instrument, the stroh violin is played by musicians worldwide – particularly in Europe – for folk music. It is beloved for street performance, thanks to its powerful tone that requires no amplification to be heard even in a noisy area.
Naturally, we sampled it! The Impact Soundworks Stroh Violin features this instrument in a single, elegant, lightweight Kontakt patch with modern trimmings like a sequencer and ‘grit’ effects. The result is a fun and surprisingly versatile virtual instrument, great for everything from rhythmic underscore ostinato to comical pizzicato, folk mockups and more. Special thanks to performer Kalle Ricken and designer Richie Albert!
Stroh Violin features
- Authentic multisampled stroh violin.
- 3x dynamic layers / up to 5x round robins.
- Sustain, spiccato & pizzicato articulations.
- Customizable mapping.
- 3-layer rhythmic sequencer / gate.
- Quick controls for grit, dirt and vinyl.
- Lightweight and fun to use.
The Stroh Violin for Kontakt is available as a free download. Requires Kontakt 5.4+ full version.

Kenton Electronics MIDI Thru, D-Sync and prototype to add swing
John Price from Kenton Electronics was one of the first pioneering MIDI harware utilities makers. Starting out with retrofit MIDI mods for classic synthesizers – to allow them to work with MIDI, then his MIDI to CV standalone boxes (Pro Solo, Pro2) that were for quite some time one of the only ways to integrate CV control from MIDI sequencers.
He’s still creating useful MIDI and CV hardware, and shows us what his new stuff is in the pipeline.
