There are many professional MIDI controller out there: keyboards, drum pads, mixer, pedals, etc. One type of controller that interests me most is the ribbon controller because I wanna try to emulate with the software plugins what can be done with instruments such as the Ondes Martenot. I think that this type of controller fits very wellto control virtual instruments such as strings and horns, as it is characterized by aposition and pressure sensitive ribbon, so you can control in a very intuitive way thenotes pitch and velocity . I decided to do a MIDI ribbon controller using Arduino.
