I have to adapt this "Seinfeld" quote into this conversation:
I am using the ribbon. He is using the ribbon. We are all using the
ribbon! So why aren't you going to use the ribbon?
What I find very cool about the ribbon controller is that I can switch
it from 0 to 127 very quickly (more than knobs) and steadily (better
than aftertouch). I use it to control filter and sync to emulate the
distorted / wah'ed intro to U2's "Elevation", which demands a lot of
rhytmic precision since all other instruments are joining in after me. I
can't think of any other built-in controller that would give me better
results.

OK, now that we're done with the ridiculous part of this conversation... :-)
The ribbon controller is VERY COOL. What's this talk of buzz, buzz, whatever?
