hello all,
sorry, i was being a bit to obscure in my previous email,
the problem with all the previous ribbon controller designs has been the
ribbon itself - here it seems there is a potential supply of ribbons with
gate and 2 x CV sensors,
the electronics - as we know is a piece of piss to design around the ribbon
itself
however - the spiel on doepfer's site says that the thing is a potential
release depending on the interest it recieves at musicmesse - which in my
opinion means, they need some kind of market before they go ahead and custom
build a pile of ribbons (the expensive bit)
i for one would buy a brand D ribbon - but motmise it - my reasoning being
that brand D circuitry can't be any worse than my DIY stuff that sits in
there
and if it turned out i could mod an 850 to work as the ribbon controller
then i'd be as happy as, erm, Larry...

meanwhile - a new verb to teach your kids
he wants to motmise
she motmises
it was motmised

cheers
