Ribbon Controller, any ideas?

[Flynn]

Hi,

I´d like to modify my MIDI Keyboard and additional to the normal pitch wheel I want to build a Ribbon controller that acts like a pitch wheel, which means that is has to be a 10K reistor that normally has 4K when not used.

I found a link to build a simple Ribbon controller and I built this and tested it, but that pice of video tape got me no signals.

Has anyone an idea how to realize such a ribbon controller?

I already read some pages about force sensitive resistors (FSRs) but I don't know if this is what I need. Are there any electronic components that already are such a ribbon controller which act like a potentiometer with 4K in unused state and up to zero and 10K down and upward? I searched on german sites already but didn't find anything.

Would be great if there would be anything like that.

Thanks a lot,

Best regards,

Flynn
