if you're game you can make one (and pretty much any other kind of midi gesture controller) with arduino...

The Korg Triton had a ribbon controller as well.

Good luck with your search.

i was waiting for a daggy keyboard player to bust out into a solo on a ribbon controller, then in noticed the girls in the video and thought i'd just watch them dance a bit...then i realised the joke.

LOL.

orrite, round 2....

anyone got a Kurzweil Ribbon Controller + Expression Mate (XM1) they're looking to offload??

Can't find the XM1 expression mate anymore, and it will be handy since it accepts yamaha BC2 breath controller input...

Anyone plzzz!!!?!??

It's mainly the expression mate i'm interested in as the ribbon controllers can be bought brand new for $120 on sweetwater, but they output using ethernet?!?
