I found some software and applied it to the Midi melody and harmony (generated by BIAB). So here is version 2 for you.

Would love to know if you can hear any difference from version one and if it is better or worse!


Joanne, there is a big difference between a breath controller and a wind controller. A wind controller, like my AKAI USB,

is a new instrument that you would have to learn.

A breath controller like this TEC,
http://tecontrol.se/products/usb-midi-breath-controller
is a USB input controller for breath only, no other effects like vibrato. You would pick a sound like the sax, play a line on your piano MIDI controller while breathing into the breath controller. The breath controller will work with CC2, another volume controller, and you can control attacks, swells, fad outs etc via your controller. No learning another instrument.

I hope this helps.

{edit} - Joanne you have a PM

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.
