You can assign a unique MIDI channel and CC (Continuous Controller) to each ribbon if your gear is responsive to MIDI CC messages allowing you to control your instruments, effects, racks or any other devices you have.<\/p>\n<p>The Ribn app is unique in it&#8217;s ability to record and loop finger movements so you can create repeating modulations for synths and effects like a complex LFO. The app works simply by using a MIDI interface, wired or bluetooth, to connect your iOS device to MIDI gear and then selecting your\u00a0interface in the app&#8217;s settings. Then you can find out which CC and MIDI channel your gear responds to and enter this in Ribn&#8217;s edit view. Then just tap and slide your fingers to control your gear.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing Ribn: iOS MIDI controller app\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZAfLILxEWBc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ribn&#8217;s features include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 8 MIDI CC ribbon pads<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0Add modulation to your MIDI hardware synths, effects, eurorack modulars, drum machines, etc.<br \/>\n\u2022 Configurable MIDI channel and CC# per ribbon<br \/>\n\u2022 Ribbons record and loop your finger movement<br \/>\n\u2022 Looping can be turned off to enable standard ribbon sliders<br \/>\n\u2022 Choose 2, 4 or 8 ribbons<br \/>\n\u2022 Use a wired MIDI interface, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi<br \/>\n\u2022 All settings are saved automatically<br \/>\n\u2022 Works on iPhone (including iPhone X) and iPad<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples of how it can be used:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Control hardware MIDI synths parameters like the filter cutoff frequency, resonance, oscillator octave, etc.<br \/>\n\u2022 Control any soft synth in Ableton Live (or your favorite DAW) by connecting your iOS device to your Mac via Wi-Fi and choosing &#8220;Session 1&#8221; as the MIDI output in Ribn.<br \/>\n\u2022 Control your Eurorack modules by running Ribn through a MIDI to CV converter.<br \/>\n\u2022 Control drum machines and effects. For example, try controlling the room size of a reverb effect unit with a looping ribbon or the snappiness of a snare drum on a drum machine. The possibilities are endless.<br \/>\n\u2022 Daisy chain your MIDI hardware using MIDI Thru ports and assign each ribbon to a different MIDI channel. This way you can control more than one piece of hardware at a time. For example, you can assign the first 4 ribbons to a synth and the last 4 to an effect unit.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/ribn\/id1413777040?platform=ipad&amp;preserveScrollPosition=true#platform\/ipad\">You can get Ribn on iPad and iPhone from the Apple App Store for just $0.99\/\u00a30.99\/\u20ac1.09.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who needs a MIDI controller when you&#8217;ve got an iPhone?
