Ribbons
2002-03-28 by binky beetlebaum
Two observations, neither of which may be of any import: 1. My one experience with the Kurzweil ribbon controller left me with the impression it would be hard to duplicate in the DIY world--tooling/fabrication costs would probably be brutal on a small scale. 2. I, like Larry, own a Micromoog. The micro's ribbon is pretty sweet in my opinion, & probably would be easier to emulate in a DIY version. Though I don't know what's under the surface of the ribbon, the fabric on top seems very similar to the fabric used on electric bag sealers. I don't know what's going on underneath, but I'm thinking maybe this bag sealer fabric would go part of the way toward making a diy ribbon a reality. tom _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
