Breath controller?
Not related to looping, but there's been enough discussion of various
ways to implement real-time control of paramenters during performance
that I thought I'd tap the collective knowledge of the group.
Has anyone heard of a breath controller than can be used to generate MIDI
CV messages? I remember that Allan Holdsworth used to use a breath
controller with his SynthAxe, but I believe that was part of the SynthAxe
package. I'm interested in trying to find a standalone unit which I
could plug in to any MIDI CV input. My immediate use for this would be
to give me a breath-controlled volume controller, to aid in simulating
horn and string sounds. I've used a volume pedal for a long time, but
the physical distance the pedal has to travel prevents really quick
attacks and releases. I also think, that with practice, it would be
easier to vary the volume level during a held sound than with the volume
pedal.
Anyone know of such a device?
