What is a Breath Controller?
A Breath Controller is basically an electronic breath pressure sensor that is housed inside some form of enclosure that is usually held between the teeth or worn on the head as a headset and blown into. Its function is to measure the musician’s breath pressure and translate that into a varying electronic control signal that can be used in some expressive manner. The control signals can be used to control devices such as MIDI synthesizers, MIDI sequencers, MIDI lighting systems, etc…
