By the way, did you tryied the Ketron SD2 with the wind controller?
Thinking to buy one to use with my EWI4000S. Or would I prefer the VL70-m? At a first glance, I would preferr the SD2 because it appears to be "general purpose"... What is your oppinion?
Hi Luiz,
Just checked the manual for the SD2 in order to be sure.
NO BREATH CONTROL parameters listed at all.
Check out Yamaha synths, many of the older ones had a Breath controller input jack on the front of the keyboards and many also worked with Wind Controllers. Maybe the code is still there inside some of the newer offerings, even though they no longer have the physical input jack on them as well.

Another option is to change the midi output in the wind controller from CC2 (breath control) to CC11 (expression). Although I do not have a SD2 this has worked for me on all of my other synths.
Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

Hey Bob,
I know what you are saying when it comes to samplers, etc. I'm not a sax or flute player, but I do use a Motif classic keyboard, and a rack Motif ES. Also have the Yamaha breath transducer that I use with the Motif classic (first saw it being used by Eric Clapton's keyboard player using a Motif classic on the 24 nights concert DVD). I use the rack Motif ES with the Motif classic as well as my synth guitars. With the after-touch and other nuances you can get with the Motifs, some pretty realistic sounds can be achieved, including breath nuances, chirps, growls, etc. (my son is an accomplished musician who also plays sax, flute, clarinet, guitar and drums). He and others were impressed. The VL-70 is a nice unit and I've heard some impressive results from that via other musicians.
Richard

cc11 will work on most synth modules, and the WX5 has a DIP switch to remap cc2 (breath) to cc11 (expression). I don't know about the EWI.
The synth you use will have variable results with cc11. Some just change the volume, which is fine for some patches, others change the timbre along with the volume, this is ideal for emulating most acoustic or acoustic/electric instruments.
Whenever you use a wind synth, you also need to know how to tweak synth patches if you want to get the most out of your gear. I can't program a VL70m voice from scratch, but I definitely can tweak all the parameters to get it to do what I want.

Notes
Yes, Notes you can remap EWI USB and presumably the 4000 with the included PC software.
Also good points about tweaking patches for a wind controller.
