Hello Ingo, getting a A198 *&* a R2M bcs. the quant. can't be
switched off is definately no way to go for me... Anyhow, I had a
look into the R2M manual once more. If you choose c or d in Menu 2-1
(and maybe set a high range in Menu 3-4) you can slide over the
ribbon without producing quantized notes as long as you constantly
keep the finger down on the ribbon
The R2M's extra features (comp. to the A198) are only accessible via
MIDI out
Regards, Ingo
