Wow ! This is a dream come true. Having just a blow expression control alone was magic, and now having a vibrato, growl and flutter (or any other parameter, but those three were most important for me) controlled with just mouth and head movements is really a dream come true.

Sounds awesome! But thank God nobody sees you in the studio working with this :D

An excellent description of the benefits of the TEC BC2. Thanks

Just stumbled on this great video after searching for more info on the BC2, thank you Yannick!

You made my day. Got to get one.

Thanks! for the great review. I have a BBC2 on the way and hope I'll be able to figure out how to set it up. I have an Akai MPK249 controller and hope to be able to control SWAM flutes and cello with it and the BBC2. Great playing btw.

Dude! (as we say here in Cailf.) -- really awesome. The section around 7:00 truly awesome.

Thanks a lot to make us discover such a Breath Controller. I have an EWI 4000S, perfect for a mono sound but for accordion, bandoneon, for example, with EWI you have to record 2 tracks (one for left hand and the second for the right hand). With this system, I can imagine we have a very good expression and we can play on a keyboard the 2 hands at the same time (as on a piano). You convinced me to buy one.

Bro. . .if this video didnt have any sound, I would think I was watching "one flew over the cookoo's nest" part 2. Well done.

THANK YOU for the very clear and concise explanation. I purchased this a while ago. just couldn't get much useful information from it. It kind of overwhelmed me and I gave up.. Recently I purchased the SWAM bundle (which is amazing). Then I knew I had to learn and make use of the BBC2 controller to get anything of value from the Audio Modeling SWAM instruments. I had purchased the SEABOARD RISE. And while it is outstanding it just feels awkward to play (yes you really have to work hard with this for great results). In the end, the BBC2 is very useful, cause you don't need to carry the extra keyboard (RISE).. and both of your hands are free to play, use modwheel, pitchbend. etc. Your video gives a very clear overview. The very important thing to understand for new users is that the TeController app that comes with the BBC2, is what gives you preciseness in your articulations.. I realized setting the range (1 - 127) or each controller is vital.. Also, you can assign any of the four CC data streams to the controller most comfortable for you..

Thank you for this great video !

Now pair it with the leap motion and you have pure music making magic on your hands!

I use JamOrigin MidiGuitar2 and my TeControl BBC2 together. So helpfull as I can keep both hands on my guitar and control other parameters with my head. I am sooo grateful for both products!

Great playing!

Now I am REALLY sold on the BBC2! Been saving up for it but I had no idea about the CC Head movements! Thats game changing!

Amazing!

Best Breath control Ever. Its totally great. Iam using it with guitar midi except the midi keyboard and it sounds really great. The realism is awesome!!! I think that everyone should use it. Thanks TEControl for this "magic" technology !!!

Very impressive, AND now I'm gonna have to shell out $$$ for audio modeling.. But the variety and realism are levels above anything else.. No more endless, entering control CC's into the midi file.

I hastily ordered the original USB BC...then I saw your video! So, I hastily emailed teccontrol and asked to upgrade to the BCC2. Your video sold me on it, cost be damned!

Thank you Yannick: On the strength of your video, I bought the BBC2 controller.. I'm attempting to use it with Audio Modeling SWAM engine strings. Could you possibly make a video showing you setting up a couple of options to set up for use with the Strings (the 30 MIDI CC Mapping Options, is pretty overwhelming at first. If it wasn't for your video, I would have assumed my BBC2 unit was defective, it seemed to act so wildly and non-controllable. However like life itself, I'm learning subtly is the answer in.

great, thanks

very good

unbelievable!

Got mine today!

I'm still amazed that no one has attached this to a Midi Melodica - seems like a perfect combination!

This is awesome..

Hi Yannick - I wonder if you can share what sample libraries you use that have patches well suited to the parameters you're playing with. Did you have to spend the time mapping the CC's to those paramaters (such as growl, vibrato, fluttertongue etc.) On the other hand is it easy to choose which CC's the BBC2 spits out (no pun intended!)? Or does it output fixed CC numbers per action? Thanks!

I’m way late to the party. That vibrato with the clarinet was smooth as butter.

Thanks for this, dude. I mean it.

I look forward to taking my live performance to another level of impressiveness with the head-nodding and tilting😂

nice video man. Thanks! You went over all the features.. and then showed them while performing ;) . I reckon i'm gonna get me one of these. Are you using Sample Modeling..for all your sounds ? I've got Vienna Instruments.. but it is an old library.. and not very thorough on expressions&articulations. You reckon i should add to Vienna.. or go with other VSTs ? Thanks again.

Just bought a bbc2 and working out the settings within the utility for use in East West orchestral sample library as well as Omnisphere. Can I ask which midi cc you assign to the breath, bite, nod and tilt parameters please? Presumeably different instruments will have certain parameters you can control. Thanks

Oh man this os fantástico

Great demo. Got my last night. One question. What is this rotating thing next to the mouthpiece that lets the air out? Can I regulate the pressure I blow, but then I loose the volume. Or it should be always close? Thanks!

Thank you for your video! every needed! I woudl ike to ask you if can be used as simple as connect it directly with the piano that has usb? or it requires use of computer and other sofware? I would like to try it with a casio, but not sure if it is allow me that. Thank you in advanced.

Interesting work. I can't help wondering, though, if it wouldn't make more sense to have the tilt controller operated by your free hand. (Or maybe even use a separate joystick!) -- Ian Fritz (building and using wind controllers since 1974.)

Really cool! They should add another parameter to be controlled by pushing your tounge to the controller!

Whether This Is Just Plug And Play Kind Of Device For Any Keyboard Workstation Or Do I Need Any Special Sound Pack Or Vsti Kind Of Thing To Use These Expressions?

probably a silly question. I just picked up the Trombone 3 instrument from samplemodeling because I wanted a nice sounding horn section. Unfortunately I've never played a brass or wind instrument, but I'm wondering if either the breath controller or the breath and bite 2 (bbc2) might be something I'd get value out of. If so, given my experience, would you suggest the simple breath controller or the bbc2? thanks! beautiful playing by the way.

Thank you for the video! Would you prefer to control a live keyboard solo with BBC2 or Roli seaboard?

Very interesting tool! Which Virtual Instrument do you use? THX

Thanks, I now know what a synth at that level sounds like - but it still has 5% of natural variation - including that it's obviously not being recorded via air medium. Use it sparingly or get the wind artist.

So amazing, to use this device, a computer must be used or it can be connected directly to the keyboard (Tyros4), greetings

Can I use this on Motif ES with PLG150-VL, instead of Yamaha BC3?

can i use this controller with my fantom o6 directly without computer use for live programmes

Very cool!! What VSTs do you use for the brass/woodwinds stuff?

Hi Yannick...how are you? Do they sell the controller in the US, or do I have to get it straight from the company? Thanks in advance.

Fantastic ! I am planning to buy, but cannot decide between the simple Breath controller vs Breath and Bite controller. Bite controller is more expensive. Do you think it is neccessary ? I cannot play any wind instrument if that matters :) Thanks

Halloechen Herr Zwanzighaeuser... :) (Sorry about that!) - I bought this controller, but I don't know how to connect it to my Tyros3. I guess, it has to be via a PC and a special App. I have none of them. How to get there a less expensive way? Thank you for your help.

What software instruments would you suggest with using BBC2?

Amazing! Which libraries are you using for your VSTs? They sound very good

i just got mine thanks to your video, so thank you for it can you tell me with which vst you use it ? Thanks Again

this is great, but do you know any foot pedal that can do almost the same? something like the touche expressive, but with the foot? Thanks

Good evening! Congratulations! You are very good! I have a breath controller, but I can't get it to work. How can I play East West instruments in Logic Pro X with the Breath Controller? Thanks so much.

That's Awesome....where to buy it in the United States?

ALL HAIL THE KEYBOARD/SYNTHESIZER MASTER RACE!!! guitars you're next

would I be able to map the bite censor to a kick drum patch via the usb midi connection? and also to a sustain pedal function?

hi and thanks for the review..i just received bbc2 tecontrol and it was mentioned that it can work with korg kronos directly which i also have and i cant find any videos or help to figure it out ....i tried with no luck and i d really appreciate any tips about this topic or any vids u know about ...it d really mean much to me...thx

Will this work with a Roland ax synth? It only has type b usb when I use it as a controller. I plan to use an adaptor for tecontrol to plug it in my synth. Will it work? I am planningg to buy one but I am not sure if it will work.

Does it work with synthetic sounds too? Like for example, Synth Solo patches

This is sooooo cool 😂😂😂👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Hi Yannick, What sort of software (ie instruments) are you using here? I'm assuming its modelling rather than sample based? Can you do another video showing how (hopefully) easy it is to assign which articulations to which of the BBC2's data streams?

Hi, that´ s great. Does it work with a Hardware Synth like Yamaha Montage for example?

Does inhaling through it do anything, like how a harmonica works? This makes more sense to me so you don't have to take pauses for breaths constantly.

Just got one. In 10 minutes there are already teeth marks on the plastic. Any recommendation? I can't find good settings to get good response from the bite without really clamping down.

Your video is very informative... Can this breath controller compatible for any midi keyboard ?

Hi Yannick, I'm impressed with the BBC 2; I've had mine for one year but when I tilt my head the effect you show on this video does not work for me and I feel so frustrated. Would you please give me any input; perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Greetings from Miami, FL.

Hi Yannick do you think INTEGRA 7 would work with this kind of breath controller that you are using?

omg, shut up and just take my money!

TEControl support is not very good at all. Is there anyone out there that can assist with this controller.

A M A Z I N G

Hey, I see that this connects to a computer using a usb cable; do you happen to know of a usb-in bluetooth transmitters that you can plug this into so that you're not tethered to the computer?

Can't for the life of me get this to produce any sound with ableton, any tips?

I am thinking about buying used breath controller. Is it hygienicly safe to use it because many people used it before?

i am watching this video after 7 years of you uploading it. Any advice, if one should still get it, since i am looking to buy one, any tips? thanks

But theese articulations with the head should be supported by plugins, or?

класс! просто супер!

Am I the only one that keeps thinking of a wookie when he tilts his head back?

What is the library ?

I was dying to find out what the coat does.

Now cut back on these special effects by 90% and it will sound more realistic.

So... I just ordered and got one, and I'm dissapointed. The attached USB cable, which you can't replace, is as flimsy and thin as a thread. It's also too short. I think it's not OK at all to ask for more than 300 euro (including tax and shipping) and then send something that is so easy to break. It comes in a silly envelope, inside is a little plastic bag. There's no guarantee declaration, not even a manual, or a card with a link to a manual. It feels like the worst quality I ever laid my hands on, only the price is very luxurious. It's more expensive than the 88 key SL88 keyboard that I use. That has a metal casing, you can drop all the 21 kilo's of it if you want and it will probably still work. But the Tecontrol BBC2: one little snug of your head too many and it will break. One time accidental sitting on the cable will break it, it will fold (and break) easily. I'll be surprised if it lasts for more than a year, provided I could use it. But I can't. Because you have a problem if your computer is not directly under your midikeyboard: as the cable is only 1.5 meters. As my head is almost 1.5 meters above the floor, I can only use it if I put my computer under my keyboard, but of course my legs are already there. People who'd like to play while standing up will have even a bigger problem. But since my rig is on the other side of my studiodesk, I will have to choose also: use the Tecontrol so I have sound, or use the keyboard and have notes, but not both at the same time. I think this is ridiculous.

I’m SOLD 😊👍🏾... I’za Wants One ☝️👍🏾🙏🏽

Looks great but am I going to have a heart attack using it?

every video on youtube is about what it does... no video on how to setup this thing...

It came in a flimsy envelope which I sliced open cutting through the delicate wires. Since it is packed into this terrible envelope who would know the wire was right there? Even if It had been intact it would probably be broken after a few nights of use. Too delicate. Hundreds of dollars wasted.

any neck problems yet? lool

Pleaseeeee accept Paypal Credit in your stores. It'll give me the chance to afford your product.

How can a manufacturer and reviewer, who both apparently are not woodwind players talk about what is: more natural, cool or good? The reviewer here goes on as though he is acquainted with reeds or woodwinds when this video, demonstrates he knows little.

sounds great but you look ridiculous !! And why would you want to struggle to breath and get neck cramp.
