I didn't use my ribbon all that much on my PC3 but every once in a while it came in handy.

The one song I used it for was the intro to Comfortably Numb...where part the keyboard slides up in pitch....is ther an effect or a function I can use to duplicate that? A glide function? Or just use the pitch wheel?

Thanks.

The ribbon is somewhat special using aux-bend messages in addition to the pitch wheel and because it´s devideable into 3 freely programmable "ribbon zones" in Setup-Mode on a PC3 series keyboard.
The way those "ribbon zones" behave independently in a Setup on a PC3 make it special.

But for your purpose, you can use any front-pannel slider, the Mod-Wheel, MIDI CC-pedal #1 or #2 and/or Aftertouch to modulate/alter the pitch of a program in a given zone in a setup or even the pitch of a specific layer in a program when assigning the desired controller (slider/pedal / AT or Mod-Wheel) as a control source for the pitch of a given layer´s VA waveform or sample on the DSPMOD page for that layer/ all layers (one by one).
When you do it for all layers in a program which introduce the pitch-parameter, as a result the whole program will respond to pitch changes independent from Pitch-Wheel.
