Brass-Winds (Breath Controller)

Below find a number of brass/wind programs which are designed to use breath controller for expression.  If you do not have a breath controller, use the keyboard version of these programs which can be found in a different post.

They require that all of EXi3 be loaded (only a portion of the EXi is loaded by default).

They also require that your breath controller is set to transmit CC#02, which is standard.  The MIDI Solutions device allows you to change what is transmitted.

The majority of the programs are monophonic and suitable for solo lines (you, of course, can make a small edit and change these to polyphonic if you'd like).  At the end, you'll find some polyphonic variations which you can use to make brass/wind ensemble combis.

  1. How can I make them work in sequencer mode? Seems that within sequencer mode the breath controller gets disabled. Midi Setup?
