UDO Audio has introduced the RBN-1 Performance Ribbon Controller.
The RBN-1 is a detachable magnetic performance ribbon controller that works seamlessly with any device that supports an expression pedal input, giving you a tactile way to modulate your sound.
When used with the Super 6 and Super 8, the RBN-1 utilizes UDO’s musical intelligent pitch expression method, bending only the currently held note or notes, without affecting sustained sounds or reverb tails.
The RBN-1 works seamlessly with any device that has an expression pedal input, connecting via 3.5mm TRS jack or 1/4 inch TRS jack using the included adapter.
You can easily attach and detach the RBN-1 to any metal surface using its strong magnets and non-slip base, ensuring the ribbon stays securely in place during use.
They say that the RBN-1 is designed for durability and long-lasting performance, featuring a milled aluminum base and premium components.
Pricing and Availability:
The UDO Audio RBN-1 Detachable Magnetic Performance Ribbon Controller is available to pre-order for $285 USD, with shipping expected for December 2024.
Genius
That’s a brilliant idea!

With Kurzweil’s Expressionmate long out of production, this looks like a slightly pricey but viable alternative for those who want that CS-80 ribbon effect. Nice job.
Loving this idea! As a recovering paraplegic, my feet are absolutely worthless when it comes to pedals and anything that requires dexterity, so this ribbon strip is perfect for folks like me. Also, why in the hell did it take so long for someone to make this?
When I chopped the keys off of my odessey, I wanted to have a ribbon strip to trigger the second osc for douphonic stuff, but I’m not an engineer. This could do the trickwith some fiddling!
Yum. Would fit nicely on a Matriarch.
Great idea! Not sure why I am drawn to it?!?!
