[Till Bovermann]

might be a better option for analog pitchbending... :-)

Anyway, thanx for sharing your experiences on that ribbon controller,  
I stumbled over it more then one time in the net and seriously  
considered buying it...
I did not 'cause it is not that inexpensive as it should be for a  
"ok, let's just buy it and then test it for performance... " :-)


regards
Till
