Response to Wind Controllers

from Mark Sufferling (suff@execpc.com)
Breath controllers are made by Yamaha. The current version is the BC- 3, there have been BC-1 and BC-2's and could be some out there. The BC-3 and BC-2 fit on your head like a head microphone, the BC-1 is a small hand held unit. The Breath controller only responds to the amount of pressure when you blow into it, it doesn't have anything like a reed on it, or the ability to sense bite pressure. It can be assigned to modulate anything in the K2500 that responds to controllers. So you would have to program the patch to respond to it, or get one that is already programmed which is possible. There is a Yamaha WX-5 or 7 that looks sort of like a Clarinet. It has the fingering of one, and can control a lot more stuff with the reed, the bite, the fingering, the thumb wheel, and breath control. This would be the ultimate wind controller if you know how to play the clarinet, flute, sax, or some other simularly fingered instrument. But again you would need to program a sound to use all its features. Mark
