Will the factor algorithms have the ribbon strip controller built into them like in the H9? 

The H9000 has a feature called Functions, which work like the strip controller.  There are 8 functions for each FX chain, and each function is like a separate controller that can control parameters across the algorithms of the chain.  You can adjust the start and end of the mappings in a similar way.  These are available in all the algorithms, not just the factor ones.  Then, you can use the front panel controls, an expression pedal, or MIDI CC, or some other event source to control each function.

Awesome! I am assuming FX chains can be saved as presets with up to 4 algorithms a piece? Also will VST/AU plugin allow for the 8 functions to be controlled by DAW automation or a midi controller like Push inside the DAW. The Black Hole plugin maps beautifully to Push encoders. It would be wonderful to load up a chanin and have all the parameters automapped. It would save so much time.
