Does anyone have one of these...i wanna get one...
i've seen a few versions, 1 comes as just the ribbon, mounted on a plastic case, thin thing, and has a USB out...
i've also seen the same as above, but with a special box that decodes the info and lets u pick settings....
i'm not sure which is best..hopefully if someone here's used one, they can help?
Cheers.
Jamil.

I have heard varying reports. Some say it's steppy. Some say it's smooth.
One person didn't like the feel of the ribbon, if I remember properly.
I guess you need to think about the application. Do you want to just use a ribbon as
an alternate controller for various MIDI gear? Then you get the R2M (the one with the
magic box).
The other one I think is a pure CV controller - good with a miniMoog maybe or
as a Modular controller.

I like the ribbon on the k2600
Its a great interface, assignable to loads of the k2600 functions
