The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

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?
