What SOFTWARE synths soft synths softsynths work with a wind controller?
With additional programming to allow them to respond to the wind controller’s MIDI data, we have had very good results from the Native Instruments synths especially Kontakt 2 and later, FM7 and FM8, and Reaktor. There are many others as well. Folks have reported that Reason works well. Keep in mind that most synths are designed to work with a keyboard out of the box. Thus to make them work with a wind controller often requires a good amount of programming assuming that the softsynth can actually be made to work well and has the proper controller mappings, smoothness, and speed that wind controller players require.
The Wallander WIVI softsynths work well. Also, with additional programming to allow them to respond to the wind controller’s MIDI data, we have had very good results from the Native Instruments synths especially Kontakt, FM7 and FM8, and Reaktor.

Thus to make them work with a wind controller often requires a good amount of programming assuming that the softsynth can actually be made to work well and has the proper controller mappings, smoothness, and speed that wind controller players require. Other softsynths that work well are The Trumpet and The Sax by Sample Modeling. Also see this dedicated software page at Patchman Music.
