Anatek Wind Machine
Is there anyone who knows how to get one of these controllers that have been out of production for years
Do not tell me to buy a similar object made by Midi Solutions because I know that already
Thanks in advance  _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube

What does it do?
I have occasionally seen anatek stuff on ebay, but they are hard to find.
I picked up an Anatek pocket filter that has been useful. |

There's a link to their web site. It looks to me like a device that converts a wind controller into a MIDI signal. |

Exactly Howard:
it merges the output of a breath controller to the midi output of, say, your master keyboard to add controller #2 to it!
Midi Solutions makes a similar tool
it costs US $199+15 for S/H
not exactly cheap!
...Compatible with everything. Wind Machine interfaces to Korg, Roland, Yamaha, Ensoniq and the rest! No longer are you forced to use your breath controller with only one brand of MIDI synth (namely YAMAHA). Any MIDI keyboard that will respond to MIDI Volume, Aftertouch,W Modulation, Breath Control, Pitch Bend, Expression, Foot Controller, or Pan can be controlled by Wind Machine... _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube

Another device that converts breath control to midi is the Kurzweil Expressionmate. If you are going to spend $200, that will also give you a nice ribbon controller and 3 arpeggiators. |

Greg uses this to good effect in live performance. It's nice to have arpeggiators as a separate function you can use with any synth. |

I have found this one on eBay. I had never seen it but it looks similar to those Anatek/Midi Solutions boxes.
I wonder what those 7 modes are. maybe different response curves
On eBay there is also an Expression Mate on sale (but it's in NYC, this other box is in Germany) _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube
