The Ribbon Controller is simply another real time modulation 
source such as Aftertouch, the Mod Wheel or a Foot Pedal, etc.

The default MIDI CC's for the X & Z axis of the Ribbon Conttoller 
are 13 & 12 respectively so, if you program a knob or slider on 
your MIDI Controller to transmit MIDI CCs 13 and/or 12 your 
PLG150AN will respond to whatever destination you have routed 
the Ribbon X or Z Source in the Ctrl Matrix. Example: route A.RbX 
to the VCF Filter Cutoff parameter; Set Depth to a positive or 
negative amount to offset the Filter Cutoff from the default in your 
AN1x Voice - a setting of Direct will cover the entire value range.
