4 Configuring your DAW and VI

4.1

DAW

In your DAW/player software the breath controller must be selected as a MIDI input device

in order to work. In your DAW you must also configure the MIDI input of the track you are

playing or recording to “MIDI omni”, “All MIDI inputs” or similar function in order to

configure the track to respond to all MIDI controllers. This is necessary to allow controlling

the instrument from both keyboard and breath controller.

Warning!

Due to the nature of the breath sensor the MIDI CC will be left at the minimum

(most commonly zero) value when you release the pressure (i.e. stop blowing). Depending

on which CC you are controlling you might then not hear any sound without blowing and it

is possible to get deadlocked. For example suppose you first set the breath controller to CC

7 (volume); when you stop blowing your instrument volume will stay at zero value. If you

now change the breath controller to some other CC, for example 11 (expression) no sound

will be heard even when you blow since CC 7 (volume) is still at zero. Please, keep this in

mind before contacting us. To solve the problem either restart your sample player or try the

following:

• select the CC that might be left at zero
• while applying pressure change the CC to 1 (mod wheel)
• repeat if you have more CCs left at zero.

4.2

VIs

Just as any other MIDI controller, the MIDI CC sent by the breath controller must be matched

to a CC accepted by the VI you want to control.

For example MIDI CC2 (Breath Controller) will have no effect on your instrument if the

instrument does not respond to CC2. In this case you have to configure the breath controller

to send another CC, for instance CC7 (Volume, most instruments respond to this) or CC11

(Expression, also available in most instruments).

Alternatively you can change the controls of your VI to match the default settings of the

breath controller (most VIs allow this, but some don’t - most notably EWQL play engine). If

you want to control the expression of your VI with breath control, change the VI expression

CC control to CC2.

Many VIs have a MIDI learn function for their controls which you can activate and then

blow in the breath controller to make the VI assign whatever CC comes from the breath

controller to the selected parameter.
