Electronic Wind Controller MIDI CC2

[bbitwo]

Fluidsynth is designed for keyboards with a MIDI CC11 for volume control.
An Electronic Wind Controller (EWI) does not use CC11 but CC2 which is not evaluated by Fluidsynth.
One ha to do some modification for evaluating the first or the other. I have some problems as I use both alternatively.

I recommend to evaluate both simultaneously. Keyboards do not use CC2 and EWI's do not use CC11. I do not see any problem.

You can use the MIDI router functionality to solve your problem. Create a config file with the following contents:
config.txt

router_clear

router_begin cc
router_par1 2 2 0 11
router_end

router_begin note
router_end

router_begin cc
router_end

router_begin prog
router_end

router_begin pbend
router_end

router_begin cpress
router_end

router_begin kpress
router_end

This clears the default routes, sets up a special cc route that turns all CC2 messages into CC11 messages. Then sets up default routes that pass all other events unchanged.

Feed that config file to fluidsynth with the -fcommand-line switch and you should be able to use either CC2 or CC11 for volume control.

I recommend to evaluate both simultaneously.

I recommend to read the documentation before opening tickets.

The wiki clearly mentions that CC2 is usable in breath mode. And it links a PDF containing comprehensive documentation about breath-, legato- and monotonic-playmodes. Page 23 will introduce breathmode, where a custom default modulator for CC2 serves as replacement for the standard note-on velocity modulator.

CC10 and CC11 always affect attenuation. If you want to change that, go with the solution Markus described.

Good point... I forgot we have comprehensive EWI support.
