Fabriquer un controlleur midi à ruban - forum Construction d'Effets. Salut à tous! J'ai créé ce sujet pour faire suite au forum "fabriquer son keytar". En effet celui-ci avait dévié de son sujet d'origine. Je pense donc que, pour que les personnes qui s'intéresse plus particulièrement à ce sujet s'y retrouve (dont moi), ce forum sera une bonne chose. Alors voilà je lance l'énoncé du problèmes:J'ai un clavier midi avec une mollette pitch bend classique et je souhaite la faire disparaitre au profit d'un contrôleur ruban, en gros faire en sorte de pouvoir jouer de la même façon que sur cette vidéo( comment faire?
1- Est-ce que je coupe ma mollette et je branche mon controlleur ruban derrière? 3-Peut-on fabriquer facilement un contrôleur ruban comme dans cette vidéo ( Merci à tous en tout cas de votre participation et de vos réponses! Copper Plating and Etching Altoids Tins. UPDATE: There's some great information on this page and it's comments, but I've recently published a far more comprehensive article here: Etching Tins with Salt Water and Electricity With this project I wanted to try a number of new things: Magazine pages as cheap toner transfer mediaCopper electroplatingEtching Altoid tins with a salt water solution The copper plating met with mixed success, but the other two methods resulted in some nice pieces.
Note: blue vitriol and muriatic acid are archaic names for copper sulfate and hydrochloric acid. Magazine pages for toner transfer: While looking for information on transferring toner using a fuser assembly from an old laser printer I ran across several websites where people suggested using glossy magazine pages for transferring printed circuit board images to a copper substrate.
Preparing the Altoids tins turned out to be harder then I predicted. Next we: Copper Plating Altoids Tins: From the picture below, this appears to work. Foom! Flex / Force - Categories. DIY Ribbon Controller. Let’s hear it for the ribbon controller. If you’ve never seen one, ribbon controllers are touch-sensitive strips that let you control pitch continuously (i.e., not fixed to the pitches of a keyboard). The original Martenot instrument of the 1920s had an early ribbon controller, but rocker Keith Emerson probably gets the most credit for popularizing the design, using a giant ribbon controller phallus to control a Moog modular onstage. (And, really, what’s better than an electronic music penis?) More recent ribbon controllers are decidedly less phallic, sitting flat atop a keyboard, as on some Kurzweil keyboards and the sought-after Yamaha KX-5. A ribbon controller was also at the heart of the Tannerin, an instrument that sounds like a Theremin, but isn’t.
(Tannerins, with their ribbon controllers, get touched when you play them, whereas the Theremin is a strictly no-contact, wave your hands through the air affair.) So, where can I get one of these fabulous ribbon controllers? Corporation: How to Build a 2 Note Ribbon Controller by John Simonton. By John Simonton Even if you've never played with a ribbon controller you have at least seen one and know what they are. They are far and away the most organic and intuitive controller available for synthesizers. Sliding a finger up and down the ribbon can control the pitch of an oscillator or some other parameter. And here's some secret insider info: many a gliss'ing lick attributed to theremin was in fact played on a ribbon controller such as the Tannerin or PAiA Gnome, including the most famous riff of all from Brian Wilson's "Good Vibrations".
On many instruments the ribbon controller is small and intended as a replacement for pitch or modulation wheels, even though this is not their highest calling. We can deal with that problem here and now by exploring the design and construction of a very contemporary ribbon controller with features, like the ability to play 2 notes at once, not found on any previous commercially available units. Ready? 2 CVs from one ribbon So there you have it. Alternative Musical Expression: A DIY, Pressure-Sensitive, Multi-Ribbon Controller. Keyboards have worked for centuries, but they restrict continuous expression and pitch. Touch is more flexible, but most readily-available touch controllers (like the iPad) lack pressure sensitivity. That leaves ribbon controllers.
When do you don’t have quite what you want, you make your own. Just ask Rasmus Nyåker of the Copenhagen Noise Lab. Rasmus writes us with copious details of his project, which he built just to get more enjoyment out of playing. It uses multiple ribbon controllers, aligned for easy access from the hands, with pressure sensitivity. (Side note: anyone remember M-Audio’s, nee Midiman, aborted Surface One?) CDM exclusive: Demo of a DIY-midi-controller from Rasmus Nyåker on Vimeo. I am pretty bored with keyboard-based synthesizers when it comes to my personal music. The Manta only supplies me with one continious controller per finger/zone/hexagon.
I am also a proud owner of two monomes [YouTube video of him playing these, too] — a walnut 128 and a GS64.
