Wind Machine~ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HOW WIND MACHINE™ WORKS. ‘Wind Machine was developed to interface a Yamaha” breath contrller BC1or BC2" (not supplied) to virtually all synthesizers that respond to standard MIDI «continuous controllers sich as Modulation or Aftertouch. This allows the musician to control volume, timbre and other parameters during performance by simply -varying breath pressure onthe breath controller mouthpiece. Wind Machine reads the resistance created by the breath controller and convertsittoany oneof eight -MlDIcontinsous controllers on any one of sixteen MIDI channels. Switcheson the topof the product select the controller {ypeand MIDI channel and these stings ‘willbe maintained even while the unitis powered down. Wind Machine may be use as a MIDI transmiting device only (see Connection I below) ortean merge incoming keyboard data with the controller data it generates (See Connection 2). CONNECTIONS » . — 2) ~ |x revue (_\ UL ew P=) a SELECTING TRANSMIT PARAMETERS ‘The 8 DIP switches on Wind Machine match it’ output withthe type to which the synthesizer responds, The combination of switches 1 to 4 determine the MIDI ‘output channel; switches 5 to 7 determine the type of controller and switch 8is the Controller Thr Disable (see below). Experimentation with MIDI Volume, ‘Modulation or Pitch Bend parameters on MIDI channel 1 are mos likely to produce initial results quickly unless the synthesizers exact controller specifications are ‘known. This information usualy found at heback of thesynthesizers manualinthe MIDIImplementationchart under Control Change Recognized) Theexample below shows switches 3,5 and 6 presse indicating that Wind Machine i transmitting Modulation on MIDI channel 5.

TROUBLESHOOTING [his important tonotgthat for Wind Machineto contol your synthesizer, thesynh s sound patchmust be programmed tomakea chat geinitssound when itreceives {input from Wind Machine. Factory patches donot always respond tothe particular type of controller data you are sending and some patch modification may be ‘necessary. Iitis unclear whether or not the synthesizer is receiving control signals, seting the Wind Machine to MIDI Volume or Modulation on channel one wil ‘most likely cause a change in the sound. A synthesizer may respond globally to Aftertouch, Breath Control etc. but certain yuches may not and will ned to be ‘modified. For more information, consult your synthesizer manual. LED MODES ‘The ed status LED is used to indicate power on or off and the presence of MIDI data. When connection s made between an AC adaptor and Wind Machine, the LED will glow indicating power onstatus. Dring normal operation, the LED will blink off and then on when data is either transmuted from the oulputor recived at the input. Realtime messages such as MIDI Clock, Start/Stop/Continue, aid Active Sensing do not cause the LED to blink.
