I still haven’t had enough hands-on time to work this out, but if the ribbon is assigned to something in the matrix, does the modulation depth always drop back to zero when releasing one’s finger from the ribbon? If so, would it be possible to add an optional latching behaviour for the ribbon? This would mean it could be used in a similar fashion to a standard mod wheel (which the UDO synths don’t have). @udo-audio ?

first thought I had whilst using the new ribbon controller.  
optional latching behavior would unlock whole new performance capabilities
