I have learned that some of midi wind instruments only send fixed velocity , which may limit the tonality and expressiveness of the sound from sound modules. For example, SWAM(Audiomodeling) instruments play notes very loud with fast attack when a note velocity is max. Roland AE-01, Artinoise re.corder, YDS-120/150, budget chinese wind controllers like Konix DC02/DC02 pro/DC06, etc can only send fixed velocity. But EWI series, Yamaha WX series, EMEO and NuRAD/NuEVI send dynamic velocity - these are high- end midi wind instruments.
I am planning to work on the midi script which can convert breath midi cc#2 into dynamic velocity. I had created the one in the past . I am going to apply this to my augmented YDS-120 for better playing experience.
** Watch the velocity meter on the following video. Re.corder cannot send dynamic velocity but I was able to create it based on breath cc#2.
This is my final outcome - my augmented YDS-120 has various velocity , controlled by midi cc#2 (breath)
