Description:

Ribbons is a highly enjoyable and expressive musical instrument that takes inspiration from early electronic instruments like the Ondes Martenot and the Theremin. With an interface and synthesis engine firmly rooted in the present day, Ribbons (formerly known as "Ondes") captures the fluid playing style of these classic instruments.

Unlike any other instrument you've played before, Ribbons offers a unique experience whether you're gliding through melodies and chord changes or creating intricate polyphonic sci-fi soundscapes.
