EVL Classic 5 String Electric Midi Violin
Jean Luc Ponty has recorded and performed with this design since 1992 and we are proud to make it available in a limited edition model.
Zeta's famous Jazz pickup system delivers a clean, pure violin tone that has become Jean Luc Ponty¬s signature tone. Whether used as an analog pickup or a digital MIDI pickup in conjunction with the Zeta Synthony II MIDI Controller / Synthesizer (sold separately), the Jazz pickup system provides the ultimate in clarity of string tone without feedback.
Zeta's proprietary active internal preamp system increases the power of the pickup signal and filters out extraneous overtones. This state-of-the-art system delivers a wide range of amplification flexibility, supporting a variety of tonal characteristics adaptable to diverse playing techniques and styles of music. An internal 9-volt battery provides over 1,000 hours of service on average.
Individual string digital outputs allow the use of each string as a separate MIDI channel through the Synthony for maximum MIDI controller capabilities. Access software notation programs and MIDI applications, using the Jean Luc Ponty Signature model as a MIDI controller.
