In this role, you want to use it to to control an AD/ADR (no sustain!) envelope's amount, and maybe rise and fall time. (Sharpening the pitch just a bit with breath pressure can be cool as well.)Īttack velocity can be good for adding attack transients. And with continuous pressure, notes are emitted legato (Note On of new note preceding Note Off of old note).īreath pressure is classically emitted as CC2, but can sometimes be remapped the WX7 for instance lets you emit it as Channel Pressure instead, or as Velocity (CC7).Ī synth that doesn't have a legato mode, doesn't handle most CCs, and only lets you use Aftertouch to affect vibrato amount, is not a good fit for wind control.īreath pressure is best thought of as a dynamic envelope generator: as a general rule, you want the sound to get louder and brighter as you blow harder. Most MIDI wind controllers can put out four signals:note, breath pressure, pitch bend, and attack velocity. To use them effectively/idiomatically, you need to understand the MIDI they output, and program the synth to make effective use of that output. I've used a wind controller with DX7/TX7, Mopho, and various soft synths.
