I would suggest that you analyse your needs and intended usage of MIDI and see if there is a Analog/DSP system that will provide you what you need or that give you as much as any MIDI system would. They will function if you play very slowly and in a very deliberate manner but, they will limited in there capabilities. Both of these instruments have an unstable (relative to an instrument with frets) intonation that make trigering difficult to render in a predictable and stable way. Violin and this is where I see the main deficiency. I find there is a parallel between Steel Guitar and Elec. I also tried to find ways to use portions of this equiptment with electric violin including building some custom pickups for these system and find they don't work. I have owned several MIDI guitar systems for regular electric guitar and in the end I dumped all of it in favor of DSP effects (much better). I would think twice (or more) before going down this road.
