[video] Little Phatty with Doepfer R2M ribbon controller

Here’s another of my experiments with the Little Phatty, this time with Doepfer R2M ribbon controller:
I connected the R2M box to the Phatty with two pactch cables: the first controlling the pitch CV and the second for the volume CV (by pressing on the controller).
This is the result:

Very nice solo, it is nice to see the LP used with a different controller than the standard keyboard, especially using CV!

How long did it take you to get hang of getting the proper pitch on the Doepfer?

…mmm about 30 minutes!

Loved it.

Nicely done!

you were able to use the Doepfer ribbon controller without anything else?
straight into the Little Phatty’s pitch CV input??

yes or no?

The ribbon is connected to its controller box, which have 2 CV outs and gate.

Harder than a violin or cello? :confused:

It’s much easier than a theremin. The scale is regular so the intervals between the octaves have the same lenght.
I set the controller to 3 oct range and put a little mark on every octave.
If you have an average ear you can master it very quickly.

Beautifully done!!
(I’m going to save
up for a ribbon controller
for my LP.)

Thanks for the inspiration,
