Nice pic of the case for the controller.

Freaked a little when reading the September update as it seems an extra zero has been added to the price ($1750.00).

Can't wait and will probably buy the midi version as well.

But it´s still 175 Euro so the $1750 must be a typo i think :^) 1 
Euro~ $1

I'm thinking that the midi version might be more generally useful, 
but I'm not sure how the position and pressure would relate to midi 
note data vs. controller data, and whether threshold and level 
controls will be available right at the ribbon controller for the 
midi version.

I highly appreciate the use of a USB cable instead of the DIN 5-pole cable. It makes the ribbon controller look more high-tech. 
What will happen if one plugs the A-198 into a PC/Mac ??? ;-)

Wanna have one definitely.

I think, you cannot use note data for an ribbon controller. The only data
type with a useful resolution is pitch bend.

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.
