Subject: Re: Anybody ever try these for ribbon controllers?

I had good success with my simple dual ribbon controller. The
construction article is posted at-

This project was built from readily available materials. I only
bought the jacks and switch.

Another controller that I'm having a lot of fun with is my new
electric bongos. Simple, cheap and fun (jeez - that describes most
of my first girfriends!)as described here -

I've got a small pile of X-Y resistive touch screens (clear) that
need to be experimented upon. I've you're feeling experimental and
don't mind getting stuff free, send me an email off-list with your
mailing address.

Not being a keyboard player, it's important to have fun
alternatives. And girlfriends.

Chub - married, much to everyone's surprise.
