ribbon controllers and other stuff

2002-03-04 by sikorsky

hello all,

i came across this via the gas station - Doepfer A198 ribbon controller E
(that's euros)150 / $150 production TBA or sometime after MusicMesse

so - how do we get hold of the ribbon hardware and bypass the brand D
interface..? or to put it another way, i would "almost" definately buy one
of these for use with a brand "S" interface

cheers

If I’m not mistaken, Stooge Larry was tinkering with a ribbon controller idea… Larry?

Hmmm… I wonder, could a ribbon controller be designed to use the existing MOTM-850?

BTW, I would welcome a ribbon controller if anyone in our MOTM circle were to develop one (sorry, no brand D for me)!

hello all,
sorry, i was being a bit to obscure in my previous email,
the problem with all the previous ribbon controller designs has been the
ribbon itself - here it seems there is a potential supply of ribbons with
gate and 2 x CV sensors,
the electronics - as we know is a piece of piss to design around the ribbon
itself
however - the spiel on doepfer's site says that the thing is a potential
release depending on the interest it recieves at musicmesse - which in my
opinion means, they need some kind of market before they go ahead and custom
build a pile of ribbons (the expensive bit)
i for one would buy a brand D ribbon - but motmise it - my reasoning being
that brand D circuitry can't be any worse than my DIY stuff that sits in
there
and if it turned out i could mod an 850 to work as the ribbon controller
then i'd be as happy as, erm, Larry...

meanwhile - a new verb to teach your kids
he wants to motmise
she motmises
it was motmised

cheers

The ribbon controller went on the back burner with the tube distortion. However, both are still on my to-do list. In fact, I have all the material I want to try and work with on the ribbon controller. I need to experiment with how to get it to have some spring up to it, but not be too hard to push. I am thinking about a nice walnut wood base thing. But, I am talking a simple single zone all analog thing. Anyone wanting multiple zones, center where you drop your finger and all that stuff will need to look at the KW thingy. Hell, mine may never work. :) I am a Stooge afterall.
