L’Eowave Ribbon est en vente

Très alléchant! Les contrôleurs à ruban se font plutôt rares de nos jours...

Petite question concernant le CV/Gate : concrètement, comment cela fonctionne-t-il? Sur le site d'Eowave, il est indiqué :

Citation :

A CV/Gate controller
Ribbon has an audio out. It can be turned into a CV/gate controller with an audio cable. Ribbon can control a modular synthesizer directly.

La sortie audio sert donc de sortie CV/Gate? Comment sont séparés le CV et le Gate? On aurait donc 2 CV (position et pression) ? La pad tactile a-t-il lui aussi une sortie CV?

Si on le compare au contrôleur à ruban de Doepfer, le A-198 (ou R2M), on a clairement les sorties CV (
position et pression) et Gate séparés, soit 3 jacks. Qu'en est du Eowave Ribbon?

Je m'auto-réponds, le manuel du Ribbon est dispo sur le site d'Eowave :

Citation de Eowave :

 

The Ribbon has an audio out that can be turned into a CV/gate controller

with an audio cable. Like this, the Ribbon can control a modular synthesizer

directly. It's V/oct. Range is from 0 to 5V would be about 5 octaves. It is

possible to set less octaves with an attenuator module.

Plug your analogue synth CV In pitch and trigger to a Y jack with 1 mini

stereo on one side and 2 mini monos on the other side.

CV1 is the position of the Ribbon.

CV2 can be controlled by the pressure of the Ribbon or by the tactile pad.

To select the CV Gate controller mode, select CV out in the

Audio Out menu. This mode allows to control CV Gate analogue

synthesizers.

Scale the Ribbon

In this mode, the Ribbon sends from 0 to 5V. Range is from 0

to 5V would be about 5 octaves. It is possible to set less

octaves with an attenuator module.

Waveform

When selecting CV is gate, the pressure is disactivated. A Gate

will be send each time the Ribbon is pressed.

Pad destination

CV2 can be controlled by the pressure of the Ribbon or by

the tactile pad

 Ribbon direction

The Ribbon direction can be inversed with its maximu value on

the LED side or with its minimum value on the LED side.

This feature allows to hold the Ribbon with the tactile pad on the

right or on the left. It’s also very useful for left handed players.
