Kaatza Music Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I just bought a USB MIDI Breath and Bite Controller 2, but Logic isn’t recognizing it. Does anybody have one? Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaatza Music Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Ok. So I have it working now so the changes show up in automation. Guess a lot depends on what you set each perimeter to. Which CC. Anybody have one that can give me any tips? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanRad Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I use this all the time. You need to open the TEC software and you can reroute any of the controllers to any CC numbers. I also like to mess with curves and stuff to get it to perform the way I want. Then, you need to be able to map those controllers to the desired function (Volume, cutoff etc.) Here's a demo I did for TEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volovicg Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I think DanRad is the breadth controller expert here... Maybe he will respond... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanRad Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Can you describe what you're trying to achieve? There are many possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaatza Music Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 I would like my tracks to be more realistic. Especially brass and Woodwinds. I watched your video on YouTube. What CCs should I set the 4 perimeters too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowman Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Dan, that is exceptional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanRad Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 You need to explore the VI you are controlling and assign them as needed. I use a lot of the SampleModeling stuff and you can control various parameters all of which can be synchronized with the TEC. You need to crack open the TEC software and see what CC channels the various controllers are on. Usually breath is on CC#2... but after that, there's no real standard CC number for the Bite or head tilt/nod. Start easy... Here's the Factory Solo Oboe patch where I've assigned CC#2 to the Relative Volume and Cutoff freq. Then I have the TEC software outputting my Breath control on CC #2. Now the level of the Oboe and it's "brightness" are both controlled by the Breath controller on CC#2. Granted, the stock factory Oboe still sounds like crap, but at least I can control the volume and filter envelope with the BC.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelonyc Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I just bought one too.. You have to assign the breath, bite, nod, and tilt to certain CC's and set the range (VERY INPORTANT), the wrong values just make the BB controller look like a piece of junk (which it is not), make sure the virtual instrument you are using it, is set up to receive those CC's you set up.. There's videos of playing the SWAM virtual instruments, that are positively amazing.. I haven't gotten a lot of use musical use yet.. So I got to set aside some time and experiment.. There are certainly plenty of you-tube videos, which show how amazing this controller can be.. I wrote back to TEControl, and suggested they make a bunch of presets to get people started.. Setting up the BB controller parameters makes or breaks this as a useful too. TEControl needs to make it easier for folks to get started..
