Hi, Robert.

Thanks!

The original version was only slightly different in content, in ways probably only of interest to me. wink

I use a wind controller called an EWI (electronic wind instrument) that's hooked up to my computer via USB. When I blow into it and press the buttons, MIDI information is sent to my computer, which triggers virtual instruments.

The "virtual instruments" are basically physically modeled versions of the saxophones and flugelhorn. That means that - unlike static samples - the timbre and volume are responsive to the breath pressure. It's a lot more expressive than playing a sampled instrument.

Mario also uses one.


Thanks for listening and posting!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
