Im learning 'Why I'm here" by Oleander, it has a violin part. Can I create that sound from my kemper?
Thank you.

you could maybe approximate it with the auto swell effect, effects - compressor - auto swell.
or you can get some rosin and a bow and do a Jimmy Page impression which is very messy, or try a midi pickup system.
Thanks Delinquent I'll give that a go. BayouTexan, I tried the bow thing, the bow is in the trash now but thanks.

have you tried an eBow?
You can get some tones using the volume pedal and the right distortion. Instruments played with a bow have a volume pedal like attack.
+1
In addition, I would focus on the correct vibrato. Which is not all that easy unless you have a fretless guitar.
I used a slide and a volume pedal for this fiddle effect.

+1.
I use one, and they work really well.
Alternatively, look at the latest Kemper pack with the David Bowie "Heroes" sound which uses the reverb type sound to give long notes...
....and there is this thing...which I looked at but they are quite expensive..

Remember that a pot of ebow grease can be expensive though

Nice idea but pretty expensive as you say.
I wonder if a rubber band stretched over a little wore holder would work as an alternative?

Ive actually bought some horse hair to try to construct one myself

In all seriousness the only way I found to reasonably fake violin was with Stradivarious Violin via Kontact player.
I've got a beautiful cello called Goffriller (think that's the right spelling) too .
Tried volume swells etc with a guitar couldn't get it right.
Can send you a link if you want to her it in a song

I guess it also depends on what the target is here - to replicate the violin sound i.e. the actual sound of a violin or to recreate the effect of bowing on a guitar.
ebow, slide or a combination of these and auto swell delay , I have two of my rigs on rigex for pads , one low and one hi, give em a try :
ATM.JB.PAD me shiny BE SURE to disengage all lock before
ATM.JB.darkpad
I had a nice comment from Per on my violin tone on this intro's track , that's a glass slide with left hand vibrato :
The rosin will crud your guitar and strings up pretty fast so if you want to use a bow then best to dedicate a guitar for only that.
I dialed this in on my Korg Wavestate, it's as close as I've gotten so far.

That's.....interesting. I'm sure some acoustic playing savant could make fantastic music with it.
To me.....it's a $100 novelty.
An eBow and a volume pedal would do it. Maybe add a fuzz a 'la Eric Johnson's liquid tone.
Nice idea but pretty expensive as you say.

You'd need to rosin the heck out of the rubber bands. Sticky sticky.
