The MIDI Solutions Breath Controller is a breath to MIDI converter for use with the Yamaha BC3A Breath Controller. It generates continuous MIDI data corresponding to the amount of breath pressure applied to the attached breath control device.
The MIDI Solutions Breath Controller can be programmed to send Aftertouch, Pitch Bend, Control Change, and System Exclusive. The MIDI Solutions Breath Controller includes a MIDI Echo parameter that is selectable on/off. Another unique feature of the MIDI Solutions Breath Controller is its ability to add a variable amount of curvature to the response of the applied pressure of the BC3A. This allows you to correct for a nonlinear response, or to add greater response at one end of the breath range compared to the other.
The MIDI Solutions Breath Controller is programmed by sending it MIDI System Exclusive messages. This is easily done with the MIDI Solutions Programming Tools software. Once programmed, the MIDI Solutions Breath Controller's settings are retained even after power is removed. The MIDI Solutions Breath Controller can be reprogrammed with new settings as often as needed. The MIDI Solutions Breath Controller's factory default settings are for it to send CC #7 (volume) on MIDI channel 1, with the Echo parameter set to ON.
The MIDI Solutions Breath Controller is MIDI-powered, and requires no batteries or power supply to operate with most MIDI products. A MIDI indicator LED lights up when the product is powered and flashes when MIDI data passes through it.
