The UDO Audio RBN-1 Performance Ribbon Controller is a high-performance modulation device that offers a tactile and precise way to manipulate sound, featuring an adaptive bend behaviour for extensive pitch bending, vibrato, and modulation effects.

Intuitive Pitch Bending and Modulation Control

The RBN-1 features a highly responsive ribbon controller that allows musicians to effortlessly manipulate pitch, with the ability to bend notes across several octaves based on the pitch of the original note played. This adaptive bending behaviour enables users to create smooth pitch bends or dramatic shifts with precision. The controller's sensitivity also supports the creation of subtle vibrato effects and fine pitch modulation, ideal for expressive musical performances. This hands-on interface facilitates dynamic modulation sweeps, enabling performers to craft pitch bends, vibrato, and dramatic shifts with ease.

Seamless Connectivity Across Devices

The RBN-1 connects effortlessly to any device with an expression pedal input. It can be used with a 3.5mm TRS jack or 1/4 inch TRS jack, making it compatible with a wide variety of audio equipment. When paired with the Super 6 and Super 8 synthesizers, the ribbon strip works with UDO’s advanced intelligent pitch expression technology. This method allows the RBN-1 to bend only the currently held notes, leaving sustained notes or reverb tails unaffected, ensuring a more controlled and musical performance.

Durability and Secure Attachment

The RBN-1 is designed with durability in mind, featuring a robust aluminium base and premium materials that ensure long-lasting performance. Its magnetic attachment system makes it easy to securely attach and detach the controller from any metal surface, while the non-slip base keeps the unit firmly in place during use, even during vigorous performances. The construction ensures that the RBN-1 remains stable and reliable in both studio and live performance environments.

Professional-Grade Construction

Built for professional use, the RBN-1 combines a milled aluminium body with high-quality components, delivering a durable and tactile interface that stands up to the demands of demanding musicians and sound designers. Whether in the studio or on stage, the RBN-1 provides a reliable, precision-controlled performance tool.
