I am trying to build a string-less midi violin with continuous pitch control. The Theremin cello fingerboard concept sounds interesting. Could someone help me to contact Floyd Engels or Olivia Mattis? They would be able to help me to define the nature of the cello “film” fingerboard. Thanks to all.

I am also trying (without) any luck to identify how the fingerboard works-> I built MIDI controllers as a hobby. I received and eMail from Albert Glinsky and he identify Mr. Floyd Engels email address as Fengels07@aol.com. I try without luck to contact Mr. Engels. I will re-check with Mr Glinsky and let you know. Please keep us posted of anything you find.

Dear Victor,
Thanks for your reply, when I find Floyd´s address I certainly will share it with you. By the way I live in Sao Paulo, Brazil, I´m from NYC play violin for money (julliard school NYC grad) and before here lived a long time in Paris… so Espanhol is no problem for me..
Abraço

Saludos,
I have no information yet on Mr Engels. Doing researh on the web on how the fingerboard might work I found a product made by Doepfer . It is call the R2M -> Ribbon to Midi controller. They used an industrial “Position Sensor” for the controller. Check the web site for more details http://www.doepfer.de , it is very interesting. You can download the user guide for the product for more insight information.

Thanks Victor,
I´ve seen the Doepfer products, they are interesting. When I get the time Ill send you all the internet addresses Ive found (there are many) dealing with ribbon controllers, linear potentiometers, conductive plastics etc. I have had some success in my kitchen myself, creating quite a few linear potentiometers using various strange mixtures of epoxy, paint, graphite powder, carbon powder etc.

Oh yes and I almost forgot some of the most essential info— several synths in actual production have good ribbon controllers, check out Kurzweil sp 88, Roland Ax-7, korg triton extreme. I also saw and played with an old (70’s) big electronic church organ with a really long unknown ribbon controller. Electone model E-5AR.
Try to find a synth-organ repair man to help explain how these controllers work (that’s my next step here in SP , I already found the offical jap repair places, just need the time to go see these electronic wizard repairmen—
tchau
