Ribbon controllers

I found this website called tapeswitch.com, where they sell ribbon switches, and I was wondering if this was the the same as those ribbon controllers on kurzweil machines.  They have a bunch of different kinds.  $50 min., custom lengths @ ~$16 ea.

If anyone's interested.

Thanks a lot.  That got me thinking that I could find a flat resistive material that would approach the 10kOhm resistance area (at the right length), and connect it directly to an AIN module off a midiboxNG.  What do you think?

It's an excuse to carry around a multimeter. ;)

sounds good...;)

let us know the right length etc...also, the the kinda of material u use too, mebbe even a lil walkthrough for all other MBHP peep out there...

i was aiming to do the same type walkthrough with the encoder's that have a built in switch i made from a bunch of old mice (see pic)...but it only looks this nice so far, still yet to hook it up to a din and find out if it all works... :o
