Title: Convert breath control to aftertouch
Post by gonzomaster on Oct 28^th, 2011, 1:06pm

Hello! I do not know Midi Ox, but I want to use it for the following problem:
I use a breath controller (EWI) which is per MIDI connected with a USB-Audio-Interface (Fast Track Pro).
On my netbook I use a Softsynth (Korg M1) with special banks for breath controlling.
The Softsynth is a standalone, but also part (vst) of a sequencer software (Cakewalk sonar LE).
For using the Softsynth properly, I received the following recommendation:
Convert Breath Control (CC02) to Channel Pressure (aka Aftertouch).
Do you have a hint if I can do that with MIDIox (only for the Korg M1 Synth) and how...? Please describe it in a simple way! ;-)
Thanks, gonzomaster

You have:
[EWI MIDI Out]->[FTPro MIDI In]->{Sonar}

At some point in that signal chain, you want to add a data mapping from Breath Control to Channel Aftertouch. As this is going to be in software, clearly it needs to happen between your FTPro and Sonar.

[FTPro MIDI In]->{MIDIOX} ... {Sonar}

OK, so "MIDIOX" is obvious. What's the "..."? That gets filled in with MIDI Yoke:

[FTPro MIDI In]->{MIDIOX}->[MIDI Yoke Out 1]
[MIDI Yoke In 1]->{Sonar}

(Other virtual MIDI cables are available.)

In MIDIOX, then, you wire up the above configuration and then add a Data Mapping for the conversion you want to achieve.

Thanks for the information. I will try that!
