I have been a bit obsessed with the Osmose controller lately especially due to the way it enables to “play the envelope” of the sound.
I thought I could achieve something similar with my Keylab MK3, minus the polyphony, with a breath controller.
There is no “breath controller” input on the Keylab MK3 – only sustain, expression and aux. No mention in the manual and I couldn’t find anyone talking about it online.
My questions are :
maybe it could be added to the wishlist to support expression pedals ?
maybe there is a way to “convert” a breath controller into an expression pedal ?
does any of you use any other controller to add this kind of expression ?
There are USB breath controllers too I could use.
Thanks for your help !
Keylab MK3 do not have a dedicated Breath controller input. I assume that would require a speciel voltage with conversion input.
I assume you can use the controllers external inputs if the Breath controller have a Breath to Expression converter.
You will have the same kind of control like when using an Expression pedal.
If you use a USB Breath controller, then i assume it will show up as a external MIDI device in both your DAW/ Host and in Arturia’s applications. It may depend on the Breath controller.
I will assume the effect you will get in any of is MONO/ Global and not POLY/ Single note based as you don’t output a midi note. So it’s probably not like the Osmose. More like Channel Aftertouch and not Poly Aftertouch.
Perhaps You can also ask Arturia support, if the external inputs can handle a Breath controller directly without using a converter. I doubt it, and would not try it without asking, as it might damage the controller.
Perhaps someone who have tried this know more than me. I’m only assuming.
