Ribbon Controller Subject description: My performance of handmade ribbon controller(videos)
Here are video clips of performance of my handmade ribbon controller.
My ribbon controller is constructed three parts as follow.
"Ribbon controller" - which is made with a film of electric conductor
(like black paper which include carbon , or rubber conductive bag.
It is pasted to the vinyl chloride seat.)
Body is made by conduit pipe which is used at office etc.
"Handmade simple analog oscilator" - which is include NE555 as main oscilator, and cmos frequency divider.
"Multi Effect(KORG AX1G)" - Sound of my analog oscilator is like
poor buzzer. But it is processed various sounds by multi effects(like you listened on my youtube videos).

I'm glad to see you show up here - I've been watching your YouTube videos for quite some time now. I really like them - you really know your way around a ribbon controller!
I've been working on a touch ribbon for a couple of months now - I guess I've stuck it in the wrong forum I've been designing it around the SpectraSoft SoftPot series.

I'm working towards the capability to upload videos to YouTube! But don't expect any virtuoso playing like you can do. Having worked on this project, it really impresses me how skilled you are at controlling your ribbon controller.

Damn, the last video really kicks! Reminds me of Guru Guru's 70ies albums. Now THATS a JAM. Though lacks some bass. Really, third instrument (bass) would give THAT groove.
anyway, great respect and all!
Thanks Dear Ojd. What a brilliant comment! I have liked Guru Guru since about 20years ago. In 2005 , I had the oppotunity to perform with Mani Neumeier (leader and drummer of Guru Guru). Because he stayed long in Tokyo at that time. Of course, I played handmade ribbon controller when we performed. It was great time. He is still super drummer!
Hi Yuichi
thanks for listening
If I understand correctly your ribbon controller does not send midi data but plays its own oscillator. Right? _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube

have you ever thought of attaching your ribbon controller to a guitar strap to play it standing up instead of sitting down _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube
