Are you sure you are not mistaking Laurie's Tape Voilin for
somthing much more complicated?  Having seen Laurie twice before
she uses a metallic violin that does control pre-recorded
sounds - however: no MIDI, no Sampling!  She simple replaces the
bridge with tape recorder playback heads, and the horse-hair
on the bow with a strip of recording tape, pre recorded with
varous sounds (such as her saying "The other day I dreamt
I had to take a test in a DariyQueen on another planet." one
of my favoirite Anderson sayings...)  Now I will be seeing
her on this tour this Friday, so I can't say for sure, but I'll
bet the tape violin is what she was playing!  (p.s. I think
I'd much rather have the tape voilin than the MIDI one, although
I'd take both...)
