Thank you Mr. Newman for this video. I had purchased the BBC2 a while ago, but got so overwhelmed at all the controls, and the importance of using the TeControl MIDI Breath application, to specifically adjust the ranges of MIDI CC's values. Watching your video gave me a better overall view of using the BBC2 controller. Berfore that, the values from the BBC2 seemed all over the place, and I got non-useful results. The important thing for new users is that you are definitely have to learn some new techniques to effectively use this controller. It takes some practise. But as you have demonstrated and I'm discovering the results can be subtle/or not subtle and AMAZING.. And each user can taylor the controller to work the way they want. They can set up the controllers to a way most comfortable to them.

Thanks Mark! I'm glad that the video helped...like so many parameters in the world of Midi AND CV a little can go a long way! I have found that scaling can make a huge difference. I'm glad that you stuck with it...I used to play trumpet back in the day (high school) and it just seems very natural for me to use the BBC2...but if a person is not used to playing a wind instrument, then it can be a challenge. Take care, and again glad that the video was of service.

Very impressive! As others have shared, these are great demos and compositions. This video is very persuasive, and presents a good argument in using a breath controller when MIDI sequencing wood wind and brass instruments. Thank you for taking the time to create and share this video.

- 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.

@audioillustrator5338 Ай бұрын

There are many videos out there on You Tube where you can actually watch a performer perform with it. As a composer, I wanted to produce a video that illustrates the superiority of using breath control over other controllers and also give real time audio examples as well as musical examples of using breath control. PS...I'm also "camera shy"... ;)

Quite nice. I'm a non-musician but very interested in using breath to compose the swirl of melodies in my head. In addition to the Tec product and some virtual instrument sample library, what else would you recommend a beginner (who has a Mac and iPad) to also get?

impressive demo. i already have your usb midi breath controller, i wonder how much of a difference having three more modulations make? the main issue i have with the breath controller is that it takes a lot more stamina than using my hands, which has me thinking that a seaboard block in conjunction with my current BC might suit my needs better.

@mangapuff2299 6 жыл бұрын

For reed instruments like saxophone, frequent pitch bending is required. Like the bending upwards to the correct pitch at the first note of a phrase, and sometime bending downwards at the final note of a phrase. What do you suggest to map the pitch bend to to make a good simulation of saxophone expression?

where is the video?..i want to see, not only hear..

@audioillustrator5338 Ай бұрын

There was a video, just not me in front of the camera Actually there are plenty of videos that do show a performer in front of a camera using the BBC2. I wanted to do something slightly different. I think many times watching something takes away a bit from the actually listening of that same something. For example sitting down to watch an orchestra perform "The Planets" by Gustav Holst is much different than just listening to a recording of the same. Perhaps it's just me, but I personally prefer just to listen to the music so I may concentrate and hear all the subtle nuances and vibrancy of the music. This influenced my decision. Hope the video was helpful! Thanks!

can this be used to control drum samples via usb midi as well?

@audioillustrator5338 3 жыл бұрын

IMHO, it works best for continuous control to play wind and stringed instruments expressively...so I'm not sure that it would help in drum articulation.

@steveberry7264 4 жыл бұрын

Hi James, Nice demo! I wonder if you can share what orchestral sample libraries you use that have patches well suited to the parameters you're playing with. (vibrato, dynamics etc, as well as other ones such as growl, , 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!

@audioillustrator5338 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Steve, sorry for the late reply! I have found that using Wallander Instruments as well as Sample Modeling, and Audio modeling instruments all work the best. I do have many other traditional sample libraries, however, I find them to be be inferior to these other ones mentioned due to the fact that they really are not designed around breath control. Wallander, Sample Modeling, and Audio Modeling's instruments are all designed to use breath control as a main control source, and IMHO nothing else compares. As to control, you can assign variable curves as well as 1 independent CC for each of the 4 control aspects that this unit sends. Hope all that make sense! :) By the way, you can check out some of my work using these instruments here: jamesnewman.bandcamp.com/ In particular some of my jazz work: 1) jamesnewman.bandcamp.com/album/big-train-comin-jazz-micro-album 2) jamesnewman.bandcamp.com/album/playin-with-fire-jazz-micro-album 3) jamesnewman.bandcamp.com/track/traveling-by-rail There are many others there as well. Also if you happen to like any of my music, it is ALL free to download. :)

Hi James, nice demo, it looks like Wallander has discontinued the line which really sucks as using the BBC2 with an iPad is a great experience. D’you have any other suggestions akin to Wallander for the BBC2?

@audioillustrator5338 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Isaac, thanks for the kind words! I know, it's a shame that the Wallander Instruments are no longer available. I use them all the time...in fact I can not duplicate them with anything else. I use one of the trumpets all the time for my lead trumpet work in my jazz pieces...as in this example: jamesnewman.bandcamp.com/track/bonus-track-fleeing-temptation-from-the-house-of-wanton-pleasure and here: jamesnewman.bandcamp.com/track/traveling-by-rail All of the Swam instruments are quite amazing as well as Sample Modeling's instruments. Hope that helps. :)

Whats the difference between this and the old Yamaha breath controllers ? Is it better in terms of expression sensitivity , does it have a better range ??? I used to have a Yamaha BC3 but that was pretty awful to use and it was way to slow for making fluttering effects and such !!

@audioillustrator5338 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, I have the original BC1 and BC3 models, but I prefer the BBC2 best...much more editing possibilities, and I like the bite control aspect a lot!

Great video. I am currently using an old BC1 Yamaha with MIDI Solution BC. Works good! However, I would like to replace it with the cheaper version of: TEControl - USB MIDI Breath Controller. Did you try it? If yes, how is it compare with BC1? Obviously it's less advanced than the one in the video so I guess not very important to compare this two. Thank you!
