New Open Source Plugin Gives Keytar Players New Superpowers


Developer Peter Postman let us know about RibbonToNotes, a new open-source MIDI plugin that’s designed to give keytar players new superpowers.

What he has to say about it:

“When playing the Keytar, your left hand can’t do much more than some bending and filter sweeping.

With RibbonToNotes, you can also play notes and chords on the ribbon (which many Keytars have). This is convenient for playing key-switches, bass notes and chords on pads, or sending chords to arrangers.

It is not just for Keytars. You can use it for any ribbon. So it is also useful for extending the possibilities of small keyboard controllers.”

RibbonToNotes is open source, created with JUCE for both Windows and Mac. Since it is created with JUCE, it should also be possible to make an IOS version, but currently only Windows and Mac installers are available at the GitHub site.
