Product Description
The RBN-1 provides a tactile and intuitive way to modulate your sound, offering effortless control with its adaptive pitch bend behaviour. Capable of bending notes across several octaves, the ribbon controller intelligently adjusts based on the original note played. Its high sensitivity ensures smooth vibrato effects and precise pitch modulation, allowing for expressive performance techniques.
Designed for universal compatibility, the RBN-1 connects seamlessly with any device featuring an expression pedal input via a 3.5mm TRS jack or 1/4 inch TRS adapter. When used with UDO’s Super 6 and Super 8, it utilises an intelligent pitch expression method, bending only the active notes without affecting sustained sounds or reverb tails.
The RBN-1 is built for durability, featuring a milled aluminium base, a soft touch low friction ribbon surface, and a non slip rubber base. Its strong magnetic attachment ensures a secure fit on metal surfaces, preventing movement during use. Whether creating dramatic pitch sweeps, subtle vibrato flourishes, or fine pitch modulations, the RBN-1 delivers expressive control with ease.
