Product Description
How It’s Innovative
As a breath MIDI controller, it captures the natural nuance of breath and embouchure, translating it into expressive MIDI data such as Expression (CC11), Velocity, Aftertouch, and Pitch Bend. This makes it especially powerful for composers and producers seeking dynamic, human-like control over virtual instruments and synths.
