>>>This is what I've been wondering all along. I know there's an anlog
signal coming from the ribbon. I'm just hesitant to spend ~$550 for the
whole expressionmate just for this kind of experiment. I wonder who makes
the ribbon, and if it's available seperately?


What was used on the old PAIA Gnome? It looked like some sort of stretchy
plastic. It was cut into a strange sawtooth shape, but that may have been to
produce a log CV in order to drive the linear-response VCO? Just a guess.

Still, had to be some kind of cheap material.
