Adam, I was considering wether to buy a R2M or A198 for some time and
finally decided to go for the A198. (re following thread: R2M vs A198
ribbon controller and I was debatting this issue with a local
distributor.)

Main reasons were I don't use MIDI anyway and the R2M has no true non
quantized mode, see msg 12586.

Hope you enjoy you A198 as much as I do. Rgds Ingo
