NO entiendo como un canal tan bueno tiene 70 likes!

this is perfect. i've been wanting to make a synth melodica and your sensor setup would be perfect for it! many thanks.

I'd like to make a much simpler, analog version of this for Yamaha vintage synths. It seems that early wind controllers, like the Yamaha BC1, originally designed for the DX7 were simple analog sensors. I guess the processing went on in the synth. Yamaha had a system where you'd plug in a BC1, BC2 or BC3 into a 3.5mm jack on some of their synths. This jack was labeled breath controller. The last Yamaha synth that used this as far as I know was the VL-70m which was released in 1996.

Thank you.. New sub!

Your videos are cool!

underated video !! btw how do you solve the likely moisture build up ?

What a great solution! Thanks for your innovative and simple-to-implement ideas! Your channel is a treasure trove. I'm collecting pieces for my own EWI and while reading articles, I see MPXV7002DP (which I already have) or MPX5010DP being used. Have you actually tried one of these? How does your sensor compare, regarding sensitivity and general sense of pressure? I'm mostly concerned about two things with your sensor: - the feeling of backpressure might get somewhat uncomfortable when playing for longer periods of time; you know that dizzy feeling when having to blow lots of birthday balloons... - saliva and condensation issues. The parts will get moist soon and there is no drain. Yeah, it's gross, but unfortunately, all woodwinds have to leak saliva out somewhere. Even the high-end Akai/Roland EWIs have drain tubes. Also, I'm wondering how to create a more complex mouthpiece with bite / lip pressure sensor, to control vibrato or pitch bend of the synth, as Akai/Roland EWIs do. In theory, it should be doable with the same technique - light sensor and rubbery reflective surface. BTW. which Teensy versions have you been using in your MIDI projects? I can buy Teensy 4.0 for the same price as Teensy 3.2, so I thought v4 might be more powerful for the price. However, I saw a few forum threads about Teensy v4 USB driver support being just recently released, so I'm not sure if v4 is reliable enough.

What do you do about spit from mouth controllers?

Mr continium lab, I have a question, I want to make a stringed midi instrument and I need to hit a string with a Pick ir fingers but I need to do a continious reading with veliocity measurement, a piezoelectric could work for the task? Greetings from mexico

This is a great explanation! However when I try to replicate it, my sensor can’t detect anything under the darkness of the cardboard. Any idea why?

can you elaborate on the sensitivity in depth?

I'm getting myself a Klik when it comes out

disculpa amigo, pienso conectar el modulo a un arduino uno, sin embargo tengo una duda, si conecto todo en este caso mandando el pin de señal a una entrada analoga (A0 por ejemplo), puedo usar ese mismo código sin cambiar nada?, sinceramente no conozco mucho acerca de programación

how can i use this on a real keyboard? like can i just plug it in to my keyboard and it works?

Warning: this comment might get a little long, I have several things I want to say here. Perhaps this comment is a little late as I just now saw this video, but this is pretty cool! (even if I've no intention on actually using something like this) Unfortunately I am visually impaired (completely blind, to be more precise), so I cannot actually see what's going on here. If/whenever you reply, would it be possible for you to give an explanation of how the air-pressure sensor is actually working? I have some kind of idea of what might be going on... but every sensor is different :). Actually, I have an idea in my mind that's closely related to the very concept of a MIDI wind instrument: You know, an instrument I've been rather fascinated with lately is the bagpipes; the way they work is rather fascinating to me. So with that in mind as well as my fascination with MIDI, I thought "hey, why not have a bagpipe-style MIDI controller"? These do exist, but there's one thing that sort of irritates me about them: I've done research on some of these electronic bagpipes... and... well... many of the electronic bagpipe models I've seen really don't accurately simulate how bagpipes are actually played. I'll elaborate more: The main appeal of bagpipes in my opinion is that they involve a bag that you blow up with air. The pipes that actually make sound are connected to the bag. Once the bag is blown up enough, squeezing/pressing on the bag causes its air to get transferred to the pipes to make sound (in other words, you just deflated the bag after you initially inflated it!) The whole objective of bagpipe playing is to keep the bag inflated to keep the sound going (the challenge, though, is to do this while not actually lowering or raising the pressure your arm is applying to the bag which would cause the sound to become unstable). This is where you can really start to see the uniqueness of this instrument; blowing into the instrument with your mouth doesn't actually make the music, like how most wind instruments are played. Well, the issue I've seen with some of the electronic bagpipe models I've seen is that the "bag" portion doesn't actually behave in this way. All it is is just a pressure sensor you press on with your arm (in other words, you do not actually blow it up with air!) This is why these types of "bagpipes" are very unrealistic. Now I'm not saying all of them are like this; there are certainly some models that actually involve you blowing up a bag, and squeezing it, and coordinating your breathing and squeezing and your fingering on the melody pipe, just like on actual acoustic bagpipes. Perhaps, if you were interested, it could be interesting to see you make your own electronic bagpipe-style MIDI controller and post it on this channel! The bag part shouldn't have to be anything special either; it might even be something as simple as a grocery bag or something :) The pipes could be made from whatever material you see fit. Since this would be a MIDI controller, the reeds that make sound in an actual bagpipe would be replaced by switches or some other sensor that reacts to the pressure/speed of the airflow from the bag (like the sensor you demonstrated in this video). Each of the pipes could send out their own MIDI data. Alternatively (and perhaps preferably), the pipes could be connected to a separate box that converts their analog signals (the signals from the air-pressure sensors) into MIDI. This box could be held under the arm that's not squeezing the bag. In this way, the pipes are acting more like the pads for an electronic drum kit, in that they're merely sending out analog signals. The separate box would be acting as the "drum module" or "brain" of an electronic drum kit, in that it would be detecting those analog signals and converting them into MIDI. The bag isn't contributing anything to the generation of MIDI data, it's only acting as an air reservoir and as a method of supplying the airflow to the pipes and the sensors in the pipes would react to the speed/pressure of that airflow. Would love to get your thoughts on this idea; feel free to reply whenever it's possible for you to do so! Justin Naramor

Can it go negative... +64 -64?
