Unreal

This app is an unreal bargain. I'm amazed at how easily it connected to Logic Pro. I love this, and there is no way you'll find anything better for this price. If you're reading this, buy this app. Absoluting no regrets! Thank you!

Easy DAW and VST Integration

Wow. What an amazing app - I use this for my virtual Orchestration MIDI Mock-Ups and it increased my workflow exponentially within 5 minutes of use. A future feature that might be useful for the looping function would be to set a fixed looping speed and zones on the CC faders. This will help solve some clunkiness with consistent and smooth looping for users that might want a fixed/consistent looping rate and zone.

FAQ

What does Ribn do?

Ribn is a MIDI controller app that features 8 assignable ribbons. Its unique capability is to record and loop your finger movements on these ribbons, allowing you to create organic, repeating modulation for your synthesizers and effects. It sends MIDI CC messages to control parameters on your connected gear.

How do I connect Ribn to my MIDI gear?

You can connect your MIDI gear to your iOS device using a wired MIDI interface, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi. Once connected, launch Ribn and select your MIDI interface in the settings. You will then need to configure the correct MIDI channel and CC# for each ribbon to match your gear's response.

What kind of MIDI gear can I control with Ribn?

Ribn can control any gear that responds to MIDI CC messages. This includes hardware MIDI synths, effects units, Eurorack modular systems, drum machines, and even soft synths within your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) on a computer. It also works with other iOS synths.

Is Ribn free to use?

No, Ribn is a paid application. The description does not mention any in-app purchases or subscription models, indicating a one-time purchase price for the full functionality of the app.

What are some example uses for Ribn?

Example uses include controlling parameters like filter cutoff or resonance on hardware synths, adding looping modulation to reverb effects, controlling soft synths in DAWs like Ableton Live via Wi-Fi, or controlling Eurorack modules through a MIDI to CV converter. You can also daisy-chain hardware and assign different ribbons to different devices.
