SoftPot Help Needed (Hold upon release)

Hi,

I am very new to Arduino and am building a little midi controller.

In order to keep it small, instead of using standard pots I have decided to use SoftPot strips, however the effect that im triggering with it resets to zero as soon as I remove my finger (expected).

Is there a way to get the Ardunio to hold which ever signal it is receiving when I remove my finger so that i can use it like a regular pot?

Thank you
