Electric String Quartet Rhythm Pedals | Elegance Quartet Innovation

At Elegance Quartet, we’ve always believed that live music should be immersive, exciting, and full of surprise. That’s why our Signature Electric Quartet is built around a unique innovation that sets us apart from virtually every other electric string ensemble performing today:

Our custom rhythm pedal rig (powered by Singular Sound’s BeatBuddy) allows us to create live beats and grooves right at our feet.

This system isn’t a gimmick. It’s a core part of our musical identity, and it transforms the way we arrange, perform, and interact with audiences.

What Exactly Is the Rhythm Pedal Rig?

Our rig is a fully programmable electronic drum machine pedal system, compact enough to operate from the stage floor yet powerful enough to produce dynamic, high-quality rhythms in real time.

Instead of relying on backing tracks, we play the beats live, layering grooves, changing textures, and building momentum right alongside our electric strings.

This means every performance is:

• Authentic – No canned tracks or pre-recorded accompaniment
• Flexible – Beats can be adjusted, extended, or reimagined instantly
• Interactive – We read the room and respond in real time
• Fully live – All sound is created by the musicians you see on stage

The pedal rig becomes a fifth member of the Quartet: one with perfect timing, endless versatility, and its own musical personality.

A New World of Arranging Possibilities

Because we design our own arrangements, the rhythm pedal system is woven directly into the music—not added on top. We have been using this unique setup since 2016, and our creativity with it continues to grow.

We can create:

• Driving pop rhythms for upbeat hits
• Subtle grooves for cocktail hours
• Dance-floor-ready beats for receptions and after-parties
• Instant mashups based on guest energy and requests

The beats don’t replace the strings. They enhance them, giving our quartet the natural, full-bodied feel of a string ensemble with the energy of a party band or DJ.

Designed for the Moment

Because the beats are live, we can tailor every performance to the moment:

• Want the chorus to hit right as the couple enters?
• Need to extend a groove for a CEO walk-on?
• Want a spontaneous mashup because the crowd is vibing?

We make it happen—instantly.

No track can do that.
But a musician-controlled rhythm system can.

Bringing Innovation to Live Event Entertainment

Our rhythm pedal rig continues to grow with us as we build new mashups, explore new genres, and push the boundaries of what an electric string quartet can be.

It’s one more example of how Elegance Quartet combines artistry and technology to create event experiences that are both sophisticated and unforgettable.
