Ribbon controller effect

Recently I’ve wanted to do slides on bass vsts or steel guitar. I don’t have a ribbon controller and my 88 note controller doesn’t really easily allow for slides of a fifth or an octave. Has anyone here developed a way of doing this without a ribbon?

Do you have a pitch wheel?

hi @pianopaul
i have an Arturia Keylab 88 MkII, so yes and quite a few other control options. i did wonder if anyone makes a small ribbon that could plug into the Arturia, but havent found one yet.

You could try to build one yourself, if you are somehow tech-savvy…
There is an analog ribbon controller from Kurzweil (600mm) and you can find some projects where people made it “standalone” by using a small Arduino based circuit.

Maybe that is working

Found this one after a bit of searching. Looks good, although is on back order just now.
