PROGRAMMING COMMANDS
DEVICE PARAMETERS
The following Device Parameters are in effect regardless of the functions that the Breath Controller has been
programmed to perform.
When Echo is ON, all incoming MIDI messages received by the Breath Controller are echoed to its MIDI
output. When Echo is OFF, only the messages generated by the Breath Controller are sent to its MIDI output.
Specifies how much the output value vs. the applied breath pressure differs from a linear
response.
Specifies the direction of the curvature. If curvature direction is upward, the output value will
rise more quickly at the lower breath range and more slowly at the higher breath range. If curvature direction is
downward, the output value will rise more slowly at the lower breath range and more quickly at the higher breath
range.
To set the Breath Controller device parameters, send it the following System Exclusive programming command:
All bytes must be in Hexadecimal format (see hexadecimal conversion table at end)
= Echo ( = 00: Echo OFF, = 01: Echo ON)
= Curvature Amount ( = 00: no curvature, = 7F: maximum curvature)
= Curvature Direction ( = 00: downward, = 01: upward)
To program the Breath Controller to echo incoming MIDI data to its output and respond linearly to pedal movement
(no curvature), send it the following System Exclusive programming command:
F0 00 00 50 17 00 F7
