Yuchi Onoue(尾上祐一) plays the Ribbon Controller

Yuchi Onoue plays the handmade Ribbon Controller - Electric musical instruments.
This video is Improvisation of Ribbon Controller at my home studio in 2005.

尾上祐一による、自作リボンコントローラのソロ即興演奏です。

This handmade electric musical instrument can change a oscillator pitch smoothly, depending on the place which you press down. Ribbon Controller was originally made as a kind of MOOG SYNTHESIZER's controller in late 60's. I made this following its example. And playing style is self-taught.

This ribbon controller hooked up to simple analogue oscillator. The frequency of the oscillator changes in the value of electric resistance. Electrically, This ribbon controller is just an electric variable resistance. Not a midi box.

Sounds like a rabbit on steroids but it's cool.

[AntiStatik42]

I love the sound, i love the playing, please sell me this instrument!

[OmGnome123e]

really strange instrument, psychedellic :o

[infectionsman]

buckethead needs one of these!

[mynmyself]

the sounds come from a sound module... the ribbon is just a controller

you can buy one for 250€, Doepfer manufactures them... but you will need a cv or midi sound generating device (i use my modular and my moog)..

[takahitonz]

it would be nicer if it's polyphonic

[johnwally]

youtuber when you dont know or understand just dont comment...

men you rock sound a bit like my theremin in a guitar effect but the chinese voice styling rock...

[Elmexicandiablo6]

sounds like some1 is screaming. But thats tight.

[Aliweasel]

Seems a bit unwieldy balanced on your knee like that. Maybe play on a table or make a stand for it. Great concept though.
