Hi Florian,

Your probably right about the cost.

Have used an old Yamaha CS80 for several month (I was sad when I had to give it back) the pleasure in using a ribbon controller for performance is something that needs to be experienced, hence my desire to obtain one.

I did build a crude ribbon controller once using magnetic tape and graphite powder but it was to maintenance heavy. The graphite wore off and needed replacing regularly.

Regards

David

If I read the message from Dieter correct, then the new controller will be
nearly in the same price range :-(

But not only because of the ribbon controller ;-)
(The CS80 is the most wonderful synth I ever played)

I had a quite simple controller made out of a resistance wire, I took from
a wire based potentiometer. I lost it when our rehearsal room was broken up
by thieves. :(
