Eowave Position Sensors are resistive ribbons. This device outputs the voltage corresponding to the
position with 2,5kΩ/100mm. This technology allows an infinite accuracy.
For musical applications, controlling the pitch with a position ribbon will make a perfect continuous controller
for glissandos and other theremin-like effects!

step 2 Basic Settings

step 1 Connecting a ribbon sensor to your Eobody2
Plug your sensor and Eobody2 USB8 SensorBox as shown in First Steps Tutorial T 0.1.
For this example, connect the position sensor in Eobody2 USB8 SensorBox input number 1.

step 2 What do I need to remember about this sensor?

Position sensors cannot be cut.

Non sensitive surface can be taped on a plane surface.
Sensitive face can be covered with tape.

Position sensors are very easy to configure as their range goes continuously
from 0-127. It means that in most cases, using the Eobody2 internal
process is not necessary. In the Editor routing window, you will be able to
choose the destination (pitch bend or others).
