Hello,

The ctrl ribbon on my an1x seems to be stuck on high values...
This seems to be a physical problem since I managed to "almost"
fix it using tape to keep the ribbon "high", so it doesn't make
contact with the sensors.

Is there any config to turn it off ?

thanks a lot,

juanma

There's no global setting to turn off the ribbon, but you should be able to go into the modulation matrix of each patch and set any ribbon modulations to OFF.

There are some known ribbon issues, however, where the ribbon seems to return to a zero setting when released in some patches, while latches at the last pressed value in others. Are you absolutely sure that your problem isn't related to these issues?

Regards,

On all Voices or specific, indivdual Voices?

Actually, under Utility/Setup you can assignRBNX and RBNX to
'0:off' effectively disabling the Ribbon Controller.
