INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the MIDI Solutions Breath Controller. TM The MIDI Solutions Breath Controller is a Yamaha BC3A to MIDI interface that can be used to control the value of a selected MIDI parameter in real time. The messages generated by the Breath Controller can be merged with the messages received at its MIDI input. The Breath Controller is MIDI-powered and requires no batteries or power supply to operate.
PROGRAMMING COMMANDS DEVICE PARAMETERS The following Device Parameters are in effect regardless of the functions that the Breath Controller has been programmed to perform. Echo: When Echo is ON, all incoming MIDI messages received by the Breath Controller are echoed to its MIDI output. When Echo is OFF, only the messages generated by the Breath Controller are sent to its MIDI output. Curvature Amount: Specifies how much the output value vs. the applied breath pressure differs from a linear response.
MESSAGE TYPE There are five programmable parameters that specify the type of message to be generated by the Breath Controller. These parameters are aa: Message Type, bb: Control Change# (or Sysex Byte#), cc: MIDI Channel, dd: Maximum Value, and ee: Minimum Value. Message Type (aa) specifies the type of message to be generated. Selectable message types include Control Change, Aftertouch, Pitch Bend, and System Exclusive.
