Eowave Ribbon - Manual (Page 6)

Use the Ribbon as a USB controller
The Ribbon can be used as a USB controller. It is compatible with any MIDI
software. No MIDI interface is needed. It's also fully compatible with mac/PC/
Linux and iOS devices.
Plug the Ribbon to your computer via USB. The Ribbon is automatically recognized
as a MIDI device by your computer. In your MIDI compatible software, it appears in
the MIDI setup. Then, configure the MIDI channel you need to control.
Control a parameter of a MIDI virtual instrument
 In most cases, the Ribbon will be used to control the pitch of your virtual
instrument. If you use the Ribbon as a controller, the pitch control setting
will depend on your software or plug-in. Configure your software or your
plug-in MIDI setup to send pitchbend values to the Ribbon. Note that some
softwares do not offer this possibility.
Scaling the Ribbon (see editor section)
 In USB, the Ribbon can be scaled with 4 modes: 4 octaves with half tones,
4 octaves continuous, 12 octaves with half tones or 12 octaves continuous.
 Once again, the scaling depends on the software you use and if it allows
+/- 24 semi tones or not. Some does not.
Control a parameter with the Ribbon’s tactile pad
In the editor, you can change the destination of the tactile pad so it
receives MIDI informations from your MIDI devices. (Always check
what MIDI parameters your MIDI devices allow to send).
Control a parameter with the Ribbon’s pressure
In the editor, you can change the destination of the Ribbon’s pressure so
it receives MIDI informations from your MIDI devices. (Always check
what MIDI parameters your MIDI devices allow to send).
