Hi Florian

I guess I was thinking the same thing as you, but how do we expect the
midi ribbon controller to work then

Maybe touching the ribbon will transmit a note-on message with a fixed
note number, and a series of pitch bend messages reflecting the
changing position along the riggon The trouble is, I think the A191
only uses 8 bits for converting pitch bend to CV.

Pressure could just transmit midi channel pressure, but then we
couldn't obtain the second gate signal associated with it. Maybe it
would be supplemented with a controller message with a value of either
0 or 127 depending on the threshold, which could be converted to a
gate signal.
