Re: [fluid-dev] Continuous controllers

Hi, Ben

First , please trust Chris,  a kind advisor.
a)Just want to confirm that adding a  "CC Breath MSB (2d) to Initial 
Attenuation" is the exact response to your initial question.
b)Also, the other possibility of mapping CC Breath MSB to CC Expression 
MSB (11d), works well also (for the reason explained by Chris).
Many EWI players can do that kind of mapping from inside their EWI. So 
that when the player blows, the EWI sends CC 11 with the breath data.

Second,
In the patch just posted you can read the procedure to performs step 
(a)  in chapter 3.3.5 p 17, but there are missing informations
Please replace this line:
"2) Adding a CC Breath To Attenuation

with this one:
"2) Adding a CC Breath MSB To Attenuation with a amount of 960 cB.

This amount value is dependant of the synthesizer "dynamic range" 
capability. Actually FluidSynth range is 960 cB
as the internal audio engine generates 16 bit sample.

Note about step (1) p16:
The step (1), in the procedure (p16) is not mandatory, it just useful 
for  keyboardist who want to control dynamic  with only a breath 
controler (but not with both
key velocity + breath controler).
For EWI player, as far the  EWI put breath data in velocity data (which 
is normally the case), step (1) is unnecessary.
