2 Getting started
2.1
Deliverables
Your purchase of the UNI MIDI Breath Controller includes:
• Breath controller device with built-in USB and DIN cables
• Silicone tube
• Headset with mouthpiece
• Configuration Utility (download from our website)
2.2
Installation
Cut the silicone tube to convenient length and connect one end to the Breath Controller and
the other to the headset. At the end of the mouthpiece is an adjustable bleed valve which
allows you to set the amount of flow passing though the mouthpiece.
Connect the UNI MIDI Breath Controller to a USB port on your computer (No software
or driver installation is required) and it will show as “Breath Controller X.Y-NNNNNNNN”
in your applications, where X.Y is the firmware version and NNNNNNNN is the unique
serial number of your device.
Alternatively, simply connect the MIDI DIN cable to your synthesizer/keyboard, the
USB cable to a universal USB charger (not supplied) and start playing. Some synthesizers
have a USB port for reading/writing memory sticks. Such a port is also suitable as a power
source instead of the universal USB charger.
2.3

The UNI MIDI Breath Controller comes pre-configured with default settings and will work
straight-out-of-the box. The default settings are as follows:
