RI BBO N Controlle r
The [RIBBO N ] co ntro ller lets yo u co ntro l two different
assig nable parameters as yo u play. Yo u can co ntro l
o ne parameter by sliding yo ur fing er alo ng the X-axis,
and ano ther by applying pressure to the Z-axis. Yo u
can assig n parameters to the [RIBBO N ] co ntro ller using
the Utility Assig n Co ntro l functio n (see pag e 5 0 ) o r the
Co ntro l Matrix (see pag e 5 1 ).
You can assign different parameters to the [ RIBBON] controller for each voice. For
information, see page 7 5 .
To activate the Z-axis you must apply considerable pressure. A light touch will only
apply to the X-axis.
When you release your finger from the [ RIBBON] controller, the value may remain
at the same position as at the time of release, or reset to the center position
depending on the Control Matrix setting. ( See page 7 3 .)
