Superbooth 16: This video, via Ask.Audio, captures a hands-on demo with the Eowave Ribbon synthesizer.
The Ribbon 2 is a one-oscillator synth, played by placing your finger along the 4-octave ribbon. The Ribbon is pressure sensitive, translating pressure into volume.
The Ribbon can also be used as a USB controller with any MIDI software, and as a CV/gate controller.
The Eowave Ribbon 2 has a street price of 269 €. See the Eowave site for details.
Because of all the recent talk of the EOWave Ribbon, it inspired me to dig out my old DIY ribbon and MIDI-fy it. Check it out!

Parts list, software, and demo! Anyone else built their own? I’m looking forward to doing a dual-ribbon next.

Oh Chip, let’s talk. I have been obsessing over doing a two-ribbon setup lately but don’t have a ton of tech know how, just that it CAN be done. I can solder, etc, just can’t design PCBs and all that. I do work in a machine and prototyping shop, however, so I can design and build any manner of case. Specifically what I want is to have two ribbons pretty close together, along with a plate on the left that will allow me to “bow”, rather than just have constant sounding when touching the ribbons. Of course I want that too. 🙂 I’m mostly wanting this to control Sample Modeling’s string sounds as well as Finger Fiddle on the iPad. So let’s talk! [email protected]
Hello, I know that there is the versione 2 of this ribbon. Has it a full range control on filter like resonance and cutoff?
