What Breath controllers works with Kontrol MK3 ?

Facci

Hi !

What are the breath controllers that work with Komplete MK3?

Thanks in advance,

Ok, so you have to consider this Breath Controller as another USB MIDI controller. I assume it's this product:

https://www.tecontrol.se/products/usb-midi-breath-controller

You can use it to control MIDI parameters in the Kontakt or Komplete Kontrol software but that has nothing to do with the Kontrol MK3 hardware device.

Please check Kontakt's manual:

Not sure to understand what you mean here. Kontrol MK3 is a MIDI controller itself.

Hi Jeremy

I know that Kontrol MK3 is a MIDI controller itself.

I'm asking about BREATH controller.

I just ask if there is any breath controler compatible with MK3. Not this particular model but any breath controler.

Jeremy_NI

I explained it to you. It doesn't have to be compatible with the Kontrol MK3 as they are both controllers. These controllers control software so I've also linked articles on how to configure MIDI assignments in Kontakt.

ok, jeremy thanks

So that pictured controller does look interesting. Certainly less expensive than buying a Yamaha or other type of breath control instrument…plus, would not require that the musician learn all the fingerings for a woodwind instrument, because you'd be playing the notes on a keyboard or maschine controller.

But yes, Jeremy would be correct here; you'd simply set up the breath controller in your DAW's MIDI settings just like you would any other controller. And if you plan to use it along with your MK3, then just set it up to "see" the same MIDI channels that the MK3 would see, etc.
