That shouldn't be too hard considering it uses A/D converters to get the
MIDI/digital values from the ribbon controller.  Just find the appropriate
points to pull off the analog voltages and add some buffering.  However, my
understanding is that the long ribbon uses three 8 bit sections, so to make
it one continuous ribbon some simple voltage summing would need to be done
for the three corresponding analog voltage sections.

(Not me either, I've got plenty of other DIY projects to take care of.)
