Subject: re: [AN1x] Re: ribbon controller fault?

Hi !

with some patches where the ribbon controller is involved it "freezes" in the last position when you leave it, and with others not. To fix it change the patch then get back : done ! IMHO it's a software bug but not a ribbon failure. When this ribbon fails it does nothing, like when you unplug it.

Cheers.

P.S. : The mod wheel can suffer similar troubles when you "morph" between the 2 "scenes" of a complex patch. Fixed once by a complete re programming of the patch... why ? I don't know... But the AN1x is globally a reliable machine. Common issues : the backup battery and sometimes keyboard contacts, nothing more.

> I have had an erratic ribbon controller for quite some time. Patches would sound weird and not right, if I ran my finger along the ribbon a few times it would generally fix things, but not for long. The other day I opened the AN1x and unplugged the ribbon...and what a huge difference!  I think the dodgy ribbon was making my synth sound flat......now its alive and amazing sounding, and I don't miss the ribbon control one bit. I recommend unplugging this to anyone else having the same glitchy ribbon problems.Cheers.
