Is it possible to effectively hum and growl on a digital wind controller?
Indeed it can have some effect but your results will vary on several factors. There is nothing like the speed of a true analog sensor directly coupled to a true analog synth via control voltage. MIDI simply has its speed limits and the receiving MIDI synths have their limits too with regard to this. Digital/MIDI synths often have smoothing which smooths out the stepping you get with MIDI’s 128 discreet steps. Of course, the byproduct of smoothing is a loss of response speed. With true analog connections, there is no need for smoothing- unless you decide to add it for other reasons. All of the Akai and Steiner true analog wind controllers allow for incredible expression while humming and growling as long as you are using their internal analog synth (or the external input controlling an outside MIDI synth). The intermodulations you can get on them is unsurpassed. The speed of true analog is essentially infinitely fast and infinitely smooth- way faster and smoother than MIDI. It is intere
