Eowave tell us that their new Ribbon Mini Lofi Synth, USB and CV/gate controller is now shipping. Here's what they have to say about it...
Eowave Ribbon is not just a ribbon controller!
A MiniSynth Ribbon has a real sound generation section with one oscillator. The sound will be triggered by the position on the 4 octaves ribbon. The ribbon serigraphy offers a chromatic scale of the 4 octaves. Ribbon is also sensitive to the pressure. Pressure will determine the volume. A tactile tile is dedicated to the effects modulation. Ribbon can be placed on a table or on a keyboard to add continuous play. Ribbon can also be hold like a cello neck or a guitar neck. With a transparent Plexiglas enclosure lighted with a LED, Ribbon is a modern and visual synth/controller for live.
A USB controller Ribbon can be used as a USB controller. It is compatible with any MIDI software. No MIDI interface is needed. It's also fully compatible with your IPad!
A CV/Gate controller Ribbon has an audio out. It can be turned into a CV/gate controller with an audio cable. Ribbon can control a modular synthesizer directly.
Could you literally plug this into an amp and use it then? Also, can you set the volume control to be controlled by the touch strip which usually controls expression? I'm looking to try an reproduce the sound of an ondes martenot and also the playing technique of volume with the left hand. Thanks!
With the MIDI out being USB only am I right in thinking you'd need to route it through a computer to a physical MIDI out (via a MIDI Yoke & MidiSport software + hardware solution or what have you) before connecting it to a MIDI capable synth.
My primary question is for my analogue synths, CV In is two jacks: pitch and trigger - how does the Ribbon achieve this with a single audio out, and is V/Oct or Hz/V used?
no, it does not work with the r2m as it is standalone, it has a USB output to work as a MIDI controller & the minijack output can be used as a CV controller.
This ribbon looks really great ! Can this be used with the Doepfer r2m and the A-198? If so, can you make a demo. Thanks.
