>>it (Kurzweil Ribbon Controller) uses midi note data instead of pitch bend
resulting in a glissando effect -Nate<<

This problem was mentioned once before on this, maybe by this same Nathan. I
can't believe that Kurzweil's expensive ribbon controller can't do pitch
bending. That is one of the main functions of a ribbon controller. Hell, I
turn a mod wheel or pitch bend lever on any midi synth and connected midi
instruments smoothly follow. Why haven't any of the reviews I have read
about it mentioned the glissando problem? I still have a possible future
interest in the Kurzweil, so can anybody confirm that it can actually pitch
bend without glissando? Thanks.
