Check out Wendy Carlos' Circon, as used on the "Tales from Heaven & Hell"
album. It's basically a big potentiometer with an arrow attached to it with
a semi-circular keyboard graphic for positioning. It was her 'Theremin
without the guesswork' solution for eerie glissandi.

Today, I found an Electronic Musician from feb 1987 that has an article on
how to transform a slide potentiometer into a ribbom controller.
Really simple. The hardest part would be figuring out what material should
cover it (eg: vinyl). Anyone seen this before or tried it?
