The solution _is_ the release/attack. To avoid that the VCO "falls down"
after releasing the ribbon, you might try to feed the CV-Out of the ribbon
through a Sample and Hold, that is triggered by a pulse which is created
from the the inverted Gate.


A198 CV-------------------> A-148 -------> VCO
^
A198 Gate -> A-165 -> A-162 -/

The A-165 inverts
The A-162 has to be set to minimal values and creates the trigger

I think it is a mechanical cause. I think this is as uncomfortable, as it
is uncomfortable playing a violine. ;-) This is no longer an electronic
keyboard, it is a mechanical musical instrument.
