EOWAVE / Ribbon 2

The Ribbon2 is a ribbon-type synth and controller that operates in three modes: ""Synthesizer,"" ""USB Controller,"" and ""CV/Gate Controller""!

Equipped with three sensors—position, pressure, and touch—it can use the information from each sensor to play the built-in synthesizer, or convert and output signals as MIDI (USB) or analog (CV/Gate). Its simple form factor allows for performances suited to any musical style. It can be played placed on a table or keyboard panel, or held and played like a stringed instrument such as a guitar, cello, or violin, allowing for imaginative performance. The unit itself illuminates with LEDs, making it a highly effective visual gimmick for live performances.
