Skillshare Music Theory Meter & Rhythm A Universal Explanation for Musicians, Producers & Composers TUTORIAL

In this class I want to show you how meter and rhythm in music emerge from our cognitive processing of sounds. Because this holds for all humans, this explanation of meter and rhythm is as universal as you can get. It is also based on psychological experiments that have been carried out over the last decades.

Knowing the cognitive processing of sounds is of great usefulness when you are making music because it let’s more consciously predict how your music will be heard by the listener, what effect it will have in the temporal realm.

Impact Soundworks The Stroh Violin KONTAKT

Impact Soundworks The Stroh Violin KONTAKT

The Stroh Violin is a curious acoustic instrument invented by electrical engineer John Matthias Augustus Stroh, who, of course, named it after himself. 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 curious 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.

The Impact Soundworks Stroh Violin captures the titular instrument in a single, elegant, and 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!

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
  • FREE for Kontakt (full version) 5.4+
