Well there is another list where all the action is happening
search the archives here

But I do prefer this list cause people are not so uptight here,
and I can say anything I want  :)

You can assign the Ribbon controller to control anything you want even
multiple things. Its all up to the patch programmer.

I haven't tried it yet, but each side of the ribbon controller
can send controller information to control other synths if you wish.

The A/D convertor is in a side chain to the main analog outputs
so they do not directly affect the sound quality, apart from some digital
hiss :)

The Aux outputs and individual voice outs are not affected at all.
Infact the Aux and Voice outs sound crisper, due to not
having any volume control circuitry in the path and a shorter
route to the ouput sockets.
