DESCRIPTION

Windcontroller only!

This is a collection of instruments and synths adapted to CC2 (Midi Breath Control). I made some settings, so these ensembles should work with breath control CC2 (some better than others...). Sometimes, I used Chet Singers "Breath-controlled gain control"-block and combined it with instruments from the user library.

Breath-controlled gain control*:

Boscomac allowed me to use some of his fine instruments for my project. Thank you!

I only adapted the start-presets to work with breath control. So you have to try yourself, if other presets also work with CC2. I am no expert with Reaktor, but perhaps, you have some fun with these ensembles.
@friends of breath control: It would be fine to further improve these ensembles. Feel free to change them!

Thanks to boscomac, Chet Singer and all of the other users creating these wonderful ensembles! If I used an ensemble and may not, please write, I will take it away.

* You should definitely try all of Chet Singers instruments at the User Library, Many of them are made especially for windcontroller. I only integrated his (Breath) Serenade in this collection because it is not part of the User Library any more.

Version 2:
I added a "chet singer legacy ensembles"-folder with three more windcontroller-ensembles, you can not find at the user library any more. Chet Singer gave his permission. Thanks, Chet!
Added ensembles:
- HammyV3_breath
- Silverwood_II
- SilverwoodV4

Hello, I am trying out the Serenade with an EWI, pitch bend has no effect and I cannot find a control for this in the interface. Can someone point me in the right direction please? Thanks

Hello Michael, it would be fine if you could further enhance the Breath Serenade. I did not find a possibility to contact you directly. If it is possible for you, you can contact me via Facebook/Messenger ("Meister Wind").

This is a really nice set. In terms of archival instruments, I'd suggest perhaps also including Herald Brass as well. It's really nice, and has some features that the Dannenberg instrument does not, as well as an interesting tone to it. I really love the Serenade CC2 instrument! It sound amazing. I had always wanted to do something with the original ensemble like that, but I never had the time to do the modifications necessary to use it with a breath controller. I'd add if you want to, adding a pitch bend option to it would be really nice.

I see, you can not contact boscomac on the boscomac page I listed. Perhaps, he does not want to be contacted any more?
