A fascinating feature that's included in the Pa4x, but not on the Pa1000/Pa700, is its ribbon controller.

I just discovered this interesting YouTube vid Ribbon Controller Connected to Korg Pa1000
where an external ribbon controller (via cellphone & a cellphone app?) is connected up to his Korg Pa1000 via midi/usb and used to "live trigger" pitch bends (with left finger) for Middle Eastern music.

I'm interested now in exploring the possibility of utilizing an external ribbon controller device or better yet, my Apple iPhone X (via a phone app?) connected (via Midi/USB?) to my Pa1000 to emulate pedal steel guitar slides for western style country music.

Anyone here have advice/experience using a ribbon controller (vs joytick) to share?

Help advice for purchasing and setting up an external ribbon controller device, or utilizing a cellphone + phone app and how to set this up on the Pa1000 would be much appreciated.

Thanks Siebenhirter. Great. Was able to locate the Soundprism app ($4.99 US) on the online Apple App Store. I now need to figure out how to connect my iPhone X’ only output (Lighting port) up to the Pa1000 and where it needs to connect to on the back of the Pa1000 (Korg’s midi in, or the korg’s USB port)? Can you or someone else with experience doing this provide step by step instructions with both setup and settings required on the Pa1000 to accept and recognize pitch bend commands sent from my iPhone acting as an external ribbon controller?

Siebenhirter. Thanks. Just need now to find a lighting to usb cable to go from iPhone to the Pa1000 USB port (host or device port?) and how to configure soundprism pro to function only as a finger activated midi out controller. Scott
