Hi Florian

I guess I was thinking the same thing as you, but how do we expect the 
midi ribbon controller to work then?

Maybe touching the ribbon will transmit a note-on message with a fixed 
note number, and a series of pitch bend messages reflecting the 
changing position along the riggon? The trouble is, I think the A191 
only uses 8 bits for converting pitch bend to CV.

Pressure could just transmit midi channel pressure, but then we 
couldn't obtain the second gate signal associated with it. Maybe it 
would be supplemented with a controller message with a value of either 
0 or 127 depending on the threshold, which could be converted to a 
gate signal.
