Re: Anybody ever try these for ribbon controllers?

2006-05-09 by Charles Osthelder

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

http://www.wiseguysynth.com/larry/ribbon/ribbon.htm

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 -

trigger.html

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.
