MOTM

Check if the Expressionmate can do either of these:

1. Can it output a continuous controller message instead of note on/off?
2. Can it output note on/off with pitch bend?

Either of these modes should be able to produce a reasonably smooth 
portamento from MIDI messages. The brand D ribbon controller supports 
both of these.
