hej
thats true I was using this last month and finaly ribon controler is amazzing
especialy cos you can chose "hold" which I found great

I mean touch pad, would be of course less detailed
but aslo may be more creazy cos of two parameters or what ever

and to other messages before
I do not mean to involve any midi kind of controlers
which I can use with computer, but not with modular synth
I prefer to stay with just voltages, not numbers

thanks for your feedback
