Could you describe an air synth?  I'm not familiar with it.  Some Theramins
can generate MIDI or a CV from the pitch and volume signals.  Of course, a
CV signal can be converted to MIDI.

For example, the PAIA Theramax (see http://www.paia.com/theremax.htm )
generates CV signals and their MIDIBRAIN (see
http://www.paia.com/midibrn.htm ) will convert CV to MIDI.  That's a DIY
project but I'm sure off-the-shelf boxes are available from other
manufacturers.
